The glamour and glitz were still on display despite some surprising results and multiple criticisms of the ceremony’s awards host, Jo Koy, at this year’s Golden Globe Awards.

Organized by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), the event recognizes excellence in various categories such as Best Motion Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Television Series. The Golden Globes are known for their distinction between drama and musical/comedy categories in both film and television, setting them apart from other major awards like the Oscars.
