The 81st annual Golden Globe Awards took place last night highlighting some of 2023’s best film and television titles.
The Golden Globe Awards ceremony was hosted by comedian Jo Koy and broadcast live from the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, following a star-studded red carpet pre-show.
“Barbie” and “Succession” both came into the night with nine nominations, tied for the most of any other movie or TV show.
There was so much talent in the room set to celebrate a number of most celebrated titles in 2023 however, most discussions around last nights event are centered around the host.
Standup comedian Jo Koy faced some controversy following some monologues targeting Taylor Swift, “The Color Purple” and “Barbie” that made many feel uncomfortable and internet critics citing sexism.
Koy poked fun at Swift for her attendance at National Football League (NFL) games in support of her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce.
“The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL?” Koy said. “At the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift.”
The camera person immediately panned to the super singer in the ballroom for her reaction where Swift looked unbothered while taking a sip of her drink.
“By the way, ‘The Color Purple’ is also what happens to your butt when you take Ozempic,” he continued to joke. That line brought out some negative reactions from the crowd.
Koy also stated that “Oppenheimer” and “Barbie” are competing tonight in the best cinematic and box office achievement category saying “‘Oppenheimer’ is based on the 721-page Pulitzer Prize-winning book about the Manhattan Project — and ‘Barbie’ is about a plastic doll with big boobies.”
Koy has since responded listing lack of time and preparation was the main cause for his in poor taste jokes.
Despite all that, the night proved a success for many of the nominees — especially for the internet sensation known as Barbenheimer. “Barbie” was the first ever recipient of a new award, cinematic and box office achievement — beating out Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” concert film, and others, and Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” for “Barbie” also won best original song.
“Oppenheimer,” the other half of Barbenheimer, won best drama motion picture, beating out five other films, including Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” and Bradley Cooper’s Leonard Bernstein biopic “Maestro.”
