ABC’s “Abbott Elementary” and HBO’s “The White Lotus” were some of the big TV winners of the night, and in film, “The Banshees of Inisherin” and “The Fabelmans” walked away with two of the most coveted awards of the night.
The ceremony actually managed to be fun, with host Jerrod Carmichael dragging the HFPA to hell and back in his opening monologue.
The award organizer, HFPA appeared to play it pretty safely on Tuesday night.
Logic prevailed as Colin Farrell won for “The Banshees of Inisherin,” Jennifer Coolidge won for “The White Lotus,” Steven Spielberg won best director — and Cate Blanchett won for “Tár,” though she wasn’t even there to collect the award.
Actor and producer Eddie Murphy didn’t pass up the opportunity to make a well-timed joke while accepting his career achievement Cecil B. DeMille award at Tuesday night’s Golden Globes.
During his speech, he mentioned that he’s been in “show business for 46 years and the movie business for 41 years, so this has been a long time in the making.”
After thanking his family, associates, producers and his agent, Murphy chose to end his speech with some sage advice for others dreaming of making it big in show business.
“I want to let you know there’s a definitive blueprint that you can follow to achieve success, prosperity and peace of mind. It’s very simple,” he said. “There’s three things: pay your taxes, mind your business and keep Will Smith’s wife’s name out your f***ing mouth!”
It was a reference, of course, to Will Smith’s infamous slapping of presenter Chris Rock at last year’s Academy Awards ceremony, after Rock made a joke about Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith.
