Award shows are a polarizing event for sure, but they are fun to watch if you love movies and tv shows like the ones that were nominated and won at the 80th Golden Globes. I wasn't sure how the globes would be this year after the controversy that caused the awards not to be televised last year, but this year's return to TV marked for a very enjoyable show. Jerrod Carmichael had his moments, he certainly has a strong stage presence, even if all his jokes didn't land. The highlights were speeches by legends such as Steven Spielberg and Eddie Murphy, recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award, who provided by far the best joke of the night at the end of his speech. Jeremy Allen White's win for The Bear as well as a Best TV Drama win for House of the Dragon were great to see. In the end the right film won too, as Steven Spielberg's fantastic semi-autobiographical film The Fabelman's took home Best Picture-Drama, hopefully the first of many Best Picture wins for The Fabelmans which might be the most obvious Best Picture frontrunner in years in my opinion. Nice return overall for the Globes. 8/10.
