Where are they being held?
The Golden Globes are returning for the 80th time after facing a serious reputation crisis sparked by an investigation from a major newspaper. The report questioned corruption and influence among members and highlighted a lack of diversity, noting that African-Americans were not represented in the group of 87 voters. In 2023, the NBC network plans to rebroadcast the premiere and, in doing so, aims to restore public trust and prestige. Even as the Hollywood Foreign Press Association works to refresh its image, it remains to be seen how Hollywood will respond to these changes and what the 80th ceremony will signify for the industry.
Prominent figures such as director Quentin Tarantino and actors Ana de Armas and Jamie Lee Curtis are expected to attend the premiere. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced the first round of presenters for the 80th edition, including a diverse lineup of actors and creators. The list features Ana Gasteyer, Billy Porter, Colman Domingo, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Natasha Lyonne, Nicole Byer, Niecy Nash, and Tracy Morgan.
Elvis star Austin Butler is anticipated to be on the guest list, alongside Kevin Costner from Yellowstone. Other notable names include director Rian Johnson and Guillermo del Toro, who earned multiple nominations for Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Pinocchio, and James Cameron’s return to directing with Avatar: The Way of Water. The ceremony promises a blend of high-profile appearances and fresh faces, underscoring the event’s enduring appeal in the entertainment calendar.
