In television, Quinta Brunson's 'Abbott Elementary' was the winner, taking home five awards.&nbsp;

<h2>Ke Huy Quan's victory speech</h2>

There is something inherently adorable and nice about Ke Huy Quan, an actor who made a mother of all comebacks to acting with the Daniels multiversal adventure 'Everything Everywhere All at Once'. The actor, who first garnered attention by playing the role of Short Round in 1984's 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom', starred opposite a star like Michelle Yeoh, and yet managed to hold his own. He was judged the trophy for Best Supporting Actor. And here's what he said amid tears: “When I started my career as a child actor in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, I felt so very lucky to have been chosen. As I grew older, I started to wonder if that was it, if that was just luck. For so many years, I was afraid I had nothing more to offer, that no matter what I did, I would never surpass what I achieved as a kid. Thankfully, more than 30 years later, two guys thought of me, they remembered that kid, and they gave me an opportunity to try again.”

The legendary film composer MM Keeravani accepted the award for 'Naatu Naatu', the incredibly catch dance number from SS Rajamouli's 'RRR' that has become more popular than the film itself. Featuring the film's two main stars NT Rama Rao Jr and Ram Charan, the song was a favourite and went on to take the trophy. Keeravani's speech was to the point, in which he graciously acknowledged the contributions of lyricist Chandrabose and the dance performances of the actors.&nbsp;

Colin Farrell, it turns out, is not a village dunce. Though he was eerily believable in 'The Banshees of Inisherin'. He was awarded the trophy in the Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy category. Even before he could thank his producers, directors, and castmates, he took the time to praise the presenter Ana de Armas' performance in 'Blonde'.

"I just thought you were extraordinary. I cried myself to sleep the night I saw your film, Blonde. I cried myself to sleep. One thing had to do with the music that played at the moment when the shot opens and just seeing her ankles at the edge of the bed. It messed me up so bad." When the audience began to laugh, he added, "Not a joke, but you're welcome to laugh. It's not my place to say what's appropriate laughter in this world."

We can all laud Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky's courage as he leads his country during the unprovoked Russian invasion. But it must be admitted, it's all wearing thin — not least because of Zelensky's team's attempts to get him any award show platform they can get. Also, despite Zelensky's background as a comedian and actor, his appearance at the Globes felt out of place. "There will be no World War III arising out from the conflict. It is not a trilogy. Ukraine will stop the Russian aggression on our land," Zelensky said in the speech.&nbsp;

Golden Globe Awards 2023: Best and worst moments

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky&nbsp;made an appearance during the Golden Globe Awards 2023 through a pre-recorded video message. Noted actor and Zelensky's friend Sean Penn introduced his appearance on the stage at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. Zelensky, who has won praise for his leadership during the Russian invasion of his country, said in his “special message of peace”, "The war in Ukraine is not over yet. But the tide is turning, and it is already clear who would win. There are still battles and tears. Now I can definitely tell you who was the best in the previous year: it was you. The free people of the free world. Those who united around the support of free Ukrainian people, in our common struggle for freedom, for democracy, for the right to live and to laugh — no matter who you are, no matter where you are from.&nbsp;

The Golden Globe Awards 2023 were held on Tuesday night. Many movies and TV shows, as well as actors, actresses, writers, and so on, competed at the star-studded awards ceremony. While in films, Martin McDonagh's Irish Civil War-era set the story of the breaking of a friendship 'The Banshees of Inisherin' won the day with three wins, Quinta Brunson's 'Abbott Elementary' topped in television. India's 'RRR', meanwhile, won the Best Original Song trophy for 'Naatu Naatu'. While the awards show was pretty controversy-free (and tame, if we are being honest), there were a few moments when the acceptance speeches of many contenders appeared to be interrupted by piano music.

While many blamed and trolled Chloe Flower, the pianist who we saw intermittently before and after the breaks, it appears she was not responsible for the interludes that annoyed many a winner during the awards show.

Flower denied playing piano during the awards speeches. She said she was playing the piano only when the audience saw her on the camera. "I would never play piano over people’s speeches!! I’m only playing when you see me on camera! #goldenglobes," she wrote on Twitter.

Flower entertained the audience present at the venue as well as those tuning in from their homes with her renditions of 'Take My Breath Away' from 'Top Gun,' 'Under the Sea' from 'The Little Mermaid', and so on.

Meanwhile, many personalities who were bestowed with awards were miffed with the piano interruption.

Golden Globe Awards 2023: Who interrupted awards speeches with piano music?

Hollywood's award season kicks off Sunday at a very different Golden Globes, with a mainly virtual ceremony set to boost or dash the Oscars hopes of early frontrunners like "Nomadland" and "The Trial of the Chicago 7."

Usually, a star-packed, laid-back party that draws Tinseltown's biggest names to a Beverly Hills hotel ballroom, this pandemic edition will be broadcast from two scaled-down venues, with frontline and essential workers among the few in attendance.

&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/golden-globe-awards-2021-everything-to-know-about-the-big-event-366760">Golden Globe Awards 2021: Everything to know about the big event</a>

Deprived of its usual glamour, the Globes -- which also honour the best in television -- remain a coveted prize, and a high-profile source of momentum in the run-up to the season-crowning Oscars, which were pushed back this year to April.

"Nomadland," Chloe Zhao's paean to a marginalized, older generation of Americans roaming the West in rundown vans, has long been viewed as a frontrunner for the Globes' top prize. But it will face stiff competition from Aaron Sorkin's "Chicago 7," a courtroom drama about the city's anti-war riots in 1968 with a mouth-watering ensemble cast including Mark Rylance, Eddie Redmayne and Sacha Baron Cohen.

Both films are fueled by their timely themes of protest and joblessness."I think that it's likeliest between them," said The Hollywood Reporter's awards columnist Scott Feinberg. "And then the spoiler, if something were to come out of left field, would probably be 'Promising Young Woman,' which is just unlike anything else in recent memory."

Its star Carey Mulligan -- playing a revenge-seeker who lurks at bars, feigning drunkenness to lure men into revealing their own misogyny -- is tipped by many to win best actress.

She will have to fend off Frances McDormand's grounded and nuanced turn alongside a cast of non-actors in "Nomadland," and Viola Davis' portrayal of a legendary 1920s crooner in "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom."

- 'Hard to resist' - 
The other films vying for best drama, the night's final and most prestigious prize, are "Mank" -- David Fincher's ode to "Citizen Kane," which topped the overall nominations with six -- and "The Father" starring Anthony Hopkins.

Hopkins, who has never won a competitive Globe despite seven previous nominations, has been showered with praise for his harrowing portrayal of the onset of dementia.

But he is up against sentimental favourite Chadwick Boseman, the 'Black Panther'&nbsp;star who died last August from cancer at age 43.

Boseman is nominated for his kinetic performance as a tragic young trumpet player opposite Davis in "Ma Rainey." "This is his best part, and the backstory is that he knew this might be his last performance -- so that's kind of hard to resist," said Variety awards editor Tim Gray.

The race will be closely watched by groups including Time's Up, who this week slammed the Globes-awarding Hollywood Foreign Press Association for failing to admit a single Black member.

"I support and congratulate all the nominees, but the HFPA needs to change in meaningful ways," tweeted actress Olivia Wilde. "Cosmetic fixes are not enough. #TimesUpGlobes."

The HFPA released a statement recognizing that "we need to bring in Black members, as well as members from other underrepresented backgrounds."

The organization has voted for just one female as best director in 77 editions -- and only ever nominated five women in the category before this year -- but "Nomadland" director Zhao is tipped to buck that trend. The race to emulate Barbra Streisand's 1984 win for "Yentl" has two other contenders: Emerald Fennell ("Promising Young Woman") and Regina King ("One Night in Miami").

"This is a year when women have strong movies... that is good news, and deserving," said Deadline awards columnist Pete Hammond. "But we'll see how it goes -- in the end, David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin, two white guys, may win."

Unlike the Oscars, the Globes split most movie categories into drama and "musical or comedy," with Baron Cohen's "Borat" sequel and the Disney+ film of the hit musical "Hamilton" leading the latter fields.

Baron-Cohen also has a best-supporting actor nod for 'The Trial of Chicago 7',&nbsp;while the Globes offer "Hamilton" its best shot at film honours after the Oscars declared the taping of Broadway shows ineligible.

The A-list audience and nominees are expected to largely remain at home, accepting awards via videolink -- similar to the format of September's widely praised Emmys. 'The Life Ahead'&nbsp;director Edoardo Ponti told AFP he would be watching from his California home, while his mother and leading lady Sophia Loren remains in Switzerland.

"Of course you know it's going to be three o'clock in the morning when our category is up" for Loren, said Ponti.&nbsp; "As soon as I know something, whatever happens, I'll communicate the news to her." Their movie competes for best foreign-language film, in a category featuring acclaimed Korean-American family drama "Minari," which is viewed by some as an outside Oscar best picture candidate.

Sunday's Globes ceremony is being held just five days before Oscars voting begins. "Those wins will be fresh," said Gray.&nbsp;"If you win a Golden Globe... it's a notice to Oscar voters -- you'd better see this film before you vote, because it's worth looking at."

Hollywood's award season kicks off Sunday at a very different Golden Globes, with a mainly virtual ceremony set to boost or dash the Oscars hopes of early frontrunners like "Nomadland" and "The Trial of the Chicago 7.

Hollywood's award season kicks off Sunday at a very different Golden Globes, with a mainly virtual ceremony set to boost or dash the Oscars hopes of early frontrunners like "Nomadland" and "The Trial of the Chicago 7." Usually, a star-packed, laid-back party that draws Tinseltown's biggest names to a Beverly Hills hotel ballroom, this pandemic edition will be broadcast from two scaled-down venues, with frontline and essential workers among the few in attendance. Golden Globe Awards 2021: Everything to know about the big event Deprived of its usual glamour, the Globes -- which also honour the best in television -- remain a coveted prize, and a high-profile source of momentum in the run-up to the season-crowning Oscars, which were pushed back this year to April. "Nomadland," Chloe Zhao's paean to a marginalized, older generation of Americans roaming the West in rundown vans, has long been viewed as a frontrunner for the Globes' top prize. But it will face stiff competition from Aaron Sorkin's "Chicago 7," a courtroom drama about the city's anti-war riots in 1968 with a mouth-watering ensemble cast including Mark Rylance, Eddie Redmayne and Sacha Baron Cohen. Both films are fueled by their timely themes of protest and joblessness."I think that it's likeliest between them," said The Hollywood Reporter's awards columnist Scott Feinberg. "And then the spoiler, if something were to come out of left field, would probably be 'Promising Young Woman,' which is just unlike anything else in recent memory." Golden Globes: A look at some memorable moments from previous award ceremonies Its star Carey Mulligan -- playing a revenge-seeker who lurks at bars, feigning drunkenness to lure men into revealing their own misogyny -- is tipped by many to win best actress. She will have to fend off Frances McDormand's grounded and nuanced turn alongside a cast of non-actors in "Nomadland," and Viola Davis' portrayal of a legendary 1920s crooner in "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom." - 'Hard to resist' - The other films vying for best drama, the night's final and most prestigious prize, are "Mank" -- David Fincher's ode to "Citizen Kane," which topped the overall nominations with six -- and "The Father" starring Anthony Hopkins. Hopkins, who has never won a competitive Globe despite seven previous nominations, has been showered with praise for his harrowing portrayal of the onset of dementia. But he is up against sentimental favourite Chadwick Boseman, the 'Black Panther' star who died last August from cancer at age 43. Boseman is nominated for his kinetic performance as a tragic young trumpet player opposite Davis in "Ma Rainey." "This is his best part, and the backstory is that he knew this might be his last performance -- so that's kind of hard to resist," said Variety awards editor Tim Gray. The race will be closely watched by groups including Time's Up, who this week slammed the Globes-awarding Hollywood Foreign Press Association for failing to admit a single Black member. "I support and congratulate all the nominees, but the HFPA needs to change in meaningful ways," tweeted actress Olivia Wilde. "Cosmetic fixes are not enough. #TimesUpGlobes." The HFPA released a statement recognizing that "we need to bring in Black members, as well as members from other underrepresented backgrounds."

The Golden Globes 2020 is just around the corner. Camps have been made and bets have been placed on one's favourite. But is it that easy to predict the awards which are known for honouring the best of the best in movies each year? Pundits state that there are patterns to observe when one makes predictions. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/golden-globes-2020-leonardo-dicaprio-jennifer-aniston-brad-pitt-join-the-list-of-presenters-see-full-list-272063">See the full list of presenters at this year's Golden Globes.&nbsp;</a> 
 
Here are our predictions for who will win big in the Musical / Comedy category at Golden Globes 2020.

<h2>Best Motion Picture Musical/Comedy</h2>

Quentin Tarantino's '<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/once-upon-a-time-in-hollywood-review-leonardo-di-caprio-brad-pitt-are-a-treat-to-watch-243172">Once Upon A Time In Hollywood' </a>Is an easy frontrunner to clinch the Best Motion Picture In The Musical / Comedy Category. &nbsp;Why you may ask? Well, do remember that this isn’t just any Tarantino movie-it’s his love letter to Los Angeles. The master storyteller sets his new film on three specific days in 1969, a tribute to the final moments of Hollywood's golden age. Both the HFPA and the Academy, love a film about movie-making, so this star-studded offering is likely to win them over.&nbsp;

Another strong contender this year 'Rocketman'- a biopic on the living musical legend - Elton John. Taika Waititi's satirical drama 'Jojo Rabbit' is a huge hit with the critics and might just be the surprise winner of the night. &nbsp;Rian johnson's 'Knives Out' and Craig Brewer's 'Dolemite is My Name' are the other two movies in contention.

<h2>Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical / Comedy</h2>

Awkwafina is the overwhelming favourite in the best comedy/musical actress category for 'The Farewell'. If the rapper-turned-actress wins, she will become the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/golden-globes-2020-best-actress-nominations-musical-and-comedy-271925">first Asian-descent winner in the category.&nbsp;</a>

Cate Blanchett is another actress who has earned rave reviews for her performance in &nbsp;'Where'd you go, Bernadette'. You can expect her to give stiff competition to Awkwafina. However, the dark horse could well be Beanie Feldstein, for her terrific performance in the high-school drama 'Booksmart'. Ana de Armas for 'Knives out' and 'Emma Thompson' for 'Late Night' are also vying for the trophy. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/globe-globes-2020-from-amal-clooney-overshadowing-husband-to-jodie-fosters-coming-out-speech-the-most-iconic-moments-from-the-awards-gala-271850">Also see: The most iconic moments from Golden Globes over the years</a>&nbsp;

<h2>Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical / Comedy</h2>

In <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/golden-globes-2020-best-actor-nominations-271661">this category,</a> there is a toss between two great actors! Eddie Murphy for 'Dolemite Is My Name' and Leonardo DiCaprio for 'Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood'.&nbsp; 
 
Now, Eddie Murphy has undoubtedly delivered one of the best performances of his career as Rudy Ray Moore, a character on a quest to become a world-famous comedy star. And with the movie being a comeback of sorts for Murphy, a larger number of voters are expected to go with him.&nbsp; 
 
However, DiCaprio's performance as TV star Rick Dalton has hit all the right notes with viewers as well as critics, and isn't easy to snub. &nbsp;Taron Egerton could also be the surprise winner- his portrayal of Elton John has also been widely-loved. The other nominees are Daniel Craig for 'Knives Out' and Roman Griffin Davis for 'Jojo Rabbit'.

Golden Globes 2020: Meet the best actor nominees

The 2020 Golden Globes nominations list was announced yesterday and to the surprise of many (or maybe not), HBO hit show ‘Game of Thrones’ bagged only one nod. There was no mention of the hit TV show in best drama series but one nomination for actor Kit Harington who starred in the show as Jon Snow.

He is among five actors nominated in the best actor TV series drama genre. The others in the list are Brian Cox for ‘Succession’, Rami Malek for ‘Mr. Robot’, Tobias Menzies for ‘The Crown’ and Billy Porter for ‘Pose’.&nbsp;

Reacting to his first-ever Golden Globes nod, Kit Harington when approached, said that he "didn't expect to be nominated". At his home, rehearsing his lines when he was told of the news by his publicists, Kit said, "I thought the show might be, but I was just at home, learning lines, and then my publicists called. It was very unexpected and wonderful."

He continued, "Every time I go to say goodbye to this show, something comes along that reminds me of the story of it. This is one of those moments. I have to say thanks to the HFPA for nominating me. We spent a lot of years with this thing. Obviously I dearly love it. I loved every moment of it. I loved the character. It's a weird feeling, but I feel kind of happy for him [Jon Snow], the character if that makes sense."

Kit also mentioned that he was "sad" not to be going with his former ‘Game of Thrones’ co-stars, such as Emilia Clarke and Peter Dinklage, or showrunners David Benioff and DB Weiss. He said, "Obviously I wanted everyone to be nominated, and I feel like they should, as anyone who loves their show and loves their cast and crew would feel and want," he said. "I'm happy for my nomination... so I'll represent the show on my own. I'll do my best."

Musical romance "La La Land" received maximum Folden Globe nominations on Monday, while independent film 'Moonlight' received six nods. "La La Land" scored nominations for Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling in the lead comedy/musical acting categories, while writer-director Damien Chazelle received nods for best director and best screenplay. "Moonlight," the coming-of-age tale of an impoverished black boy struggling with his sexuality, scored nominations for Barry Jenkins in the directing and screenplay categories, while actors Naomie Harris and Mahershala Ali were nominated in the best supporting acting races. "La La Land" is up against "20th Century Women," the story of a free-spirited mother; raunchy superhero action "Deadpool"; singing comedy "Florence Foster Jenkins"; and teen tale "Sing Street" for best comedy/musical film.
