There are things that are done at the Golden Globes that are not done at other awards galas.

Drink, for example.

Last night, at the reinstated ceremony (last year it was canceled and not because of the covid), the jokes about the little food and a lot of alcohol that are served to the guests returned.

They were made by

Mike White

, creator of

The White Lotus

, when he collected the award from him for the creator of best comedy.

He also reminded many of those present that when he presented the series they did not want it.

And now he looks.

From

The White Lotus

is also another thing reinstated in Hollywood: the great

Jennifer Coolidge

.

The two interventions by the actress, one to deliver an award and the other to collect it, were the best of the night.

The best gag was reserved for him, yes, another legend:

Eddie Murphy

made a hilarious reference to

Will Smith

, one of the great absentees from the 2023 Golden Globes.

Zendaya

was not there either, but she was nominated.

She actually won.

by

Euphoria

, obviously.

No one went up to collect their award, in what seemed like a political night.

"If you don't come, we won't give it to you", was the message that the awards for which we all know the word "anteroom" seemed to send and that this year they tried to fix two problems and the two fixes seemed just that, fixes.

On the one hand, it seems that the HFPA (the journalists' association that controls the Globes) wants to shake off accusations of racism by handing out as many awards as possible to non-white people, even if that ends up being more of a parody than it seems. they want to correct that a real change.

On the other, the Globes try to get away from the accusations of bribery (which have been there since its first edition) by ignoring the series with which they were most brazen:

Emily in Paris

.

Lilly Collins

, who in addition to this controversy is now phenomenally dodging the issue of nepo-babies, did not appear in the auditorium or on the red carpet either.

Yes

Jeremy Allen White

did .

The Shameless

actor

collected the Globe from him in a tuxedo.

Taking the stage with the already iconic white shirt of his character in

The Bear

would have been a hoot.

We don't put the awards for

Abbott College

in the "give something to the poor little blacks" category because

Quinta Brunson

's series aspires to be the new

Modern Family

and is on the way to achieving it.

The one who has already managed to be the king of television Hollywood is

Ryan Murphy

, who collected his special award with a speech in which he reminded those present, among other things, of the scandalous homophobia that blocked the career of

Matt Bomer

, a regular actor in his productions and the best example of how the audiovisual industry still has many things to fix.

Yesterday he spruced up one of his most important award galas a bit, although not enough to make

Zendaya

leave the set of

Dune 2

for a while and go to the party.

His Golden Globe is probably somewhere in the Beverly Hilton Hotel, home of the gala.

Or in

Jennifer Coolidge

's bag .
