The 81st Golden Globe Awards were held on Sunday night (January 7th) at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. Hosted by Jo Koy, the ceremony aired live on CBS and Paramount +.
Koy was booed during his opening monologue, causing him to go off-script and say, “Yo, I got the gig ten days ago! You want a perfect monologue? Shut up! You’re kidding me, right?” He later made a joke about Taylor Swift, and her unenthused response went viral on social media. “We came on after a football doubleheader,” Koy said. “The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL … On the Golden Globes we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift.”
Oppenheimer was the big winner of the evening, taking home five Golden Globes in total, including Best Motion Picture – Drama and Best Male Actor in a Motion Picture Drama for Cillian Murphy.
