Held on Tuesday night at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, the 2023 Golden Globes awarded top acts in television, film and music.
Our favorites in entertainment received their flowers during the 2023 Golden Globes. Held at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, the ceremony was hosted by actor and comedian Jerrod Carmichael, who was the first Black person to host the 80th Golden Globe Awards.
This was a comeback of sort for the Golden Globes. This is the first (and probably last) time NBC aired the show and exposé that revealed the HFPA contained no Black members and had engaged in shady practices.
It was an intresting night, however, containing highs and lows. Here are five standout moments from the Golden Globes.
1. Rihanna, Rihanna, Rihanna

Rihanna attended the event with her partner A$AP Rocky, despite the fact she didn’t win an award. Her name was said countless times during the evening.
During one of Carmichael’s less-controversial moments of the night, he shouted out the singer, telling her not to rush her upcoming album:
“You know what? Honestly, only because I see Rihanna is here, and I’m gonna say… I’m gonna say something very controversial that… I will actually get in trouble for this: Rihanna, you take all the time you want on that album, girl. Don’t let these fools on the internet pressure you into nothing!”

Angela Bassett won a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Queen Ramonda in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. While the trophy makes the first time in 30 years that Bassett has won in the category – the last being in 1994 for What’s Love Got To Do With It – she’s also the first individual actor to win a Golden Globe or any major award for a Marvel film.
In her speech, Bassett shared words for the late Chadwick Boseman, who played King T’Challa in the inaugural Black Panther.
“We embarked on this journey together, with love… we mourned, we loved, we healed, and we were surrounded each and every day by the light and the spirit of Chadwick Boseman,” Bassett said. “We have joy in knowing that, with this historic ‘Black Panther’ series, it is a part of his legacy that he helped to lead us to.”
3. Eddie Murphy steals the show

Eddie Murphy received the Cecil B. DeMille Award. During his brief speech he made a joke about the now-infamous Oscars slap. Sharing the blueprint to his legendary career, Murphy said, “It’s very simple, just do these three things: Pay your taxes, mind your business — and keep Will Smith’s wife’s name out your fuckin’ mouth!”
