\n

\tDuring this make-or-break year for the Golden Globes \u2014 with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association returning from exile after weathering a number of scandals of its own making \u2014 the ceremony actually managed to be fun, with host Jerrod Carmichael dragging the HFPA to hell and back in his opening monologue. <\/p>\n

\n

\tAs for the awards themselves, the HFPA appeared to play it pretty safely on Tuesday night. For award after award, logic prevailed: Colin Farrell won for \u201cThe Banshees of Inisherin,\u201d Jennifer Coolidge won for \u201cThe White Lotus,\u201d Steven Spielberg won best director \u2014 and Cate Blanchett won for \u201cT\u00e1r,\u201d though she wasn’t even there to collect the award. Gone are the days, perhaps forever, when an Aaron Taylor-Johnson (for his role in \u201cNocturnal Animals\u201d) might win over future Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali (for \u201cMoonlight\u201d). (Are we a bit sad about the prospect of a no-batshit Globes going forward? Yes. Yes, we are.) <\/p>\n

\n

\tThe clear highlights of the night were Carmichael’s fearless hosting and stunning outfits, and Jennifer Coolidge’s tearful, hilarious and heartfelt speech.<\/p>\n

\n

\tAmong the winners, some well-earned honors were handed out, with Michelle Yeoh, Angela Bassett, Ke Huy Quan and Zendaya taking home much-deserved awards. And yet there were some surprise winners as well \u2014 and some unexpected omissions! Which we delve into below. (For the full list of winners, click here.)<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Fabelmans\u201d wins best movie drama<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\n

\tOn Monday, variety<\/em>‘s esteemed awards editor Clayton Davis predicted that Baz Luhrmann’s \u201cElvis\u201d would win best drama, which seemed surprising! So we asked him about it, and he explained that the conventional wisdom was that Steven Spielberg’s \u201cThe Fabelmans\u201d was the small favorite to win here, but he saw \u201cElvis\u201d as a \u201cBohemian Rhapsody\u201d-style surprise win, with the HFPA going for gaudy musical spectacle over gentle family drama. <\/p>\n

\n

\tBeyond Clayton trying to read the HFPA tea leaves, \u201cTop Gun: Maverick,\u201d the theatrical hero of the year, has been an industry favorite all awards season. But star and producer Tom Cruise helped push the Globes to the brink of oblivion when he returned his three trophies in 2021, and Cruise declined to attend the ceremony. Carmichael even used a comedy bit about those trophies to make a shocking joke about Scientology figure Shelly Miscavige.<\/p>\n

\n

\tAnd so, having already won for director, Spielberg’s winning night continued \u2014 and the HFPA has perhaps put \u201cThe Fabelmans\u201d back in the Academy Awards race!<\/p>\n

Bob Odenkirk missed his final chance to win a Globe for \u201cBetter Call Saul\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\n

\tBest actor in a TV drama was originally scheduled to be one of the first awards of the evening, but instead it was pushed to be the final acting award of the night, which meant five-time Globe nominee Bob Odenkirk had to wait that much longer to finally be recognized for his all-timer performance in AMC’s \u201cBetter Call Saul.\u201d And then he lost to \u201cYellowstone\u201d star Kevin Costner, who wasn’t even there to accept! As presenter Regina Hall said (through laughter) about Costner, \u201cBecause of the unprecedented weather and flooding, he has to shelter in place in Santa Barbara.\u201d Meanwhile, Odenkirk survived a massive heart attack! What more must he do for you? Are you not entertained?!<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cHouse of the Dragon\u201d wins in the tightly contested TV drama category<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\n

\tTwo of the HFPA’s nominees \u2014 HBO’s \u201cHouse of the Dragon\u201d and Apple TV+’s \u201cSeverance\u201d\u2014 are freshman shows that launched to widespread acclaim, and the Globes looove<\/em> to award buzzy rookies (\u201cThe Handmaid’s Tale,\u201d \u201cMr. Robot,\u201d \u201cThe Affair\u201d). Two other nominees \u2014 AMC’s \u201dBetter Call Saul\u201d and Netflix’s \u201cOzark\u201d \u2014 ended their runs this year with some of their strongest and most celebrated episodes; Similar circumstances led to \u201cThe Americans\u201d winning in this category for its final season. And the fifth nominee, Netflix’s \u201cThe Crown,\u201d has been nominated for all five of its seasons so far, and won twice.<\/p>\n

\n

\tAll of which is to say that any of these shows could have won here and it would have felt like a surprise, but \u201cHouse of the Dragon’s\u201d win felt especially unexpected given that its predecessor, \u201cGame of Thrones,\u201d was nominated five times in this category and never won. Executive producer Miguel Sapochnik \u2014 who’s actually departed since Season 1, and left showrunning duties to Ryan Condal, who wasn’t even in attendance \u2014 was so certain the show wouldn’t win that he’d already taken off his tie for the evening. Not a crazy shock, but still, huh!<\/p>\n

Quinta Brunson wins for TV comedy actress<\/strong>and \u201cAbbott Elementary\u201d wins for TV comedy<\/h4>\n

\n

\tLast year, \u201cHacks\u201d and star Jean Smart won the Golden Globes for best TV musical or comedy and actress in a TV musical or comedy in a non-televised ceremony, but of course, the show’s creators nor Smart were not around to accept it . One may have expected the Hollywood Foreign Press to give the Globe to \u201cHacks\u201d and Smart again so they’d get their moments at the podium, but first-time nominee Quinta Brunson was waiting in the wings for her first win for playing elementary school teacher Janine Teagues in \u201cAbbott Elementary,\u201d which she, of course, also created. She’s only the fourth \u2014 the fourth! \u2014 Black woman to win in this category, after Tracee Ellis Ross (for \u201cBlack-ish,\u201d in 2015), Debbie Allen (for \u201cFame,\u201d in 1982) and Diahann Carroll (for \u201cJulia,\u201d in 1968).<\/p>\n

\n

\tBrunson was back on stage again when \u201cAbbott\u201d won for TV comedy, which also beat out buzzy shows \u201cWednesday,\u201d \u201cThe Bear,\u201d and \u201cOnly Murders in the Building.\u201d A rare triumph for network TV.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Allen White wins for TV comedy actor <\/strong><\/h4>\n

\n

\tWhen FX dropped all eight episodes of \u201cThe Bear\u201d on Hulu on June 23, less than a month after the Emmys’ May 31 deadline, pundits wondered whether the network had underestimated how much audiences would become obsessed with this show, in which Jeremy Allen White plays Carmy, a high-end chef who returns to Chicago to take over his late brother’s restaurant. <\/p>\n

\n

\tAnd maybe they did! But it doesn’t matter now, because White’s win underlines that \u201cThe Bear\u201d is a major awards contender from here on out, no matter when the show premiered.<\/p>\n

Julia Garner wasn’t done winning for \u201cOzark\u201d yet!<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\n

\tRuth Langmore might not have made it out of \u201cOzark\u201d alive, but Julia Garner sure did! In the supporting actress in a drama or comedy category, in which the consensus picks were either Elizabeth Debicki for her portrayal of Princess Diana on \u201cThe Crown\u201d or Sheryl Lee Ralph of \u201cAbbott Elementary\u201d (who already won the Emmy for this role) , Garner’s win here was genuinely unexpected. Though she’d dominated the drama supporting actress Emmy \u2014 yes, she won three times \u2014 she’d been nominated by the HFPA only once before (and lost). The massively popular \u201cOzark\u201d came to an end last year, and Garner’s win showed we should n’t have counted it out. Whatever the reason, we all got it wrong, proving, as Ruth might have said, we \u201cdon’t know shit about fuck.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tyler James Williams wins TV supporting actor in a comedy or drama<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\n

\tFirst of all, hell yes! What a lovely surprise. The \u201cAbbott Elementary\u201d star \u2014 who plays former substitute, now full-time, teacher Gregory Eddie \u2014 won in a category that in recent years has nearly always<\/em> gone to actors in a drama. (The consensus pick among pundits this year was John Turturro for his role on Apple TV + ‘s twisty \u201cSeverance.\u201d) <\/p>\n

\n

\tIn fact, the last time a male actor won for a comedy was for the 2010 Golden Globes, when Chris Colfer won for \u201cGlee.\u201d Williams delivered a lovely speech, saying of his character Gregory that he hopes that the story of a Philadelphia public school teacher is seen as \u201cjust as important as all of the other stories\u201d out there. Also that Williams, who starred in \u201cEverybody Hates Chris,\u201d was the second ex-child actor of the night to win \u2014 the first being Ke Huy Quan of \u201cEverything Everywhere All at Once\u201d \u2014 made this surprise extra delightful.<\/p>\n

\u201cArgentina, 1985\u201d wins non-English language film over \u201cRRR,\u201d \u201cAll Quiet on the Western Front\u201d and \u201cDecision to Leave\u201d <\/strong><\/h4>\n

\n

\tOn a night that was otherwise mostly conventional, the Hollywood Foreign Press zigged hard<\/em> with the movie it awarded in this category. Instead of global sensation \u201cRRR\u201d (which did win for original song), or critics’ darling \u201cDecision to Leave,\u201d or the stunning war epic \u201cAll Quiet on the Western Front,\u201d the HFPA went with \u201cArgentina, 1985,\u201d a slow burn courtroom drama about the trial of Argentina’s civil-military dictatorship from 1976 to 1983. And then the telecast rudely played music over producer and star Ricardo Dar\u00edn as he tried to speak to the people of Argentina. A moment of old school Globes chaos!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
