It was a year of comebacks at the Golden Globes. Not just for Pamela Anderson, the Nineties icon nominated for her show-stopping appearance in Gia Coppola’s The Last Showgirl, or Demi Moore, who won the first major award of her career for her turn in The Substance. No, the most significant return to form was pulled off by the Golden Globes itself. A couple of years ago, the awards show looked to be fighting for its life. Tonight, it put in a performance worthy of picking up, well, its very own prize.
Back in 2022, the Golden Globes ceremony was widely boycotted and pulled from television as then-parent organisation the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) became engulfed in a diversity and ethics scandal.
