Heading into Sunday’s Golden Globe ceremony, Ricky Gervais was not confident he would win the first-ever award for Best TV Stand-Up Comedy Performance. “I’m nominated for another Golden Globe tonight,” he wrote early Sunday about his “Armageddon” Netflix special. “Won’t win, but it’s nice to still be up there in the mix, flying the flag.” Well, he did end up winning, but he wasn’t in attendance to accept his prize.
Hours after the ceremony wrapped up, Gervais posted a three-word acceptance speech on social media as only he could: “I f***ing won!” The comedian accompanied the remark with a photo of him holding a Golden Globe from when he hosted the ceremony years earlier — see below.
I fucking won! pic.twitter.com/qi7np1J6KQ

Gervais later followed that up with some more, shall we say, heartfelt words of wisdom.

Heading into the 2024 Golden Globes on Sunday, January 7, “Succession” was the show to beat as it scored a record nine nominations — more than any other television show in history. Some of the other top nominees on the TV side were “The Bear” and “Only Murders in the Building” with five noms apiece, and “The Crown” with four bids. But which shows ended up being the big winners during the three-hour ceremony?
Best TV Movie/Limited Series Actress was the first TV category handed out this year, and it went to Ali Wong (“Beef”), who is also predicted to prevail at next week’s Emmys. She beat out Riley Keough (“Daisy Jones & the Six”), Brie Larson (“Lessons in Chemistry”), Elizabeth Olson (“Love and Death”), Juno Temple (“Fargo”) and Rachel Weisz (“Dead Ringers”).

No, you’re not going crazy: the Golden Globes will be presenting a brand new award for Best TV Stand-Up Comedy Performance during the Sunday, January 7 telecast. The six inaugural nominees are some of the funniest emcees working today, but it’s Chris Rock who is predicted to make history by becoming the category’s first-ever winner, per Gold Derby odds. He’s nominated for his buzzed-about live Netflix special, “Chris Rock: Selective Outrage,” which drew eyeballs for the way in which he addressed the infamous Will Smith slap at the Oscars.
Rock has leading 18/5 odds to prevail on Sunday night. The other nominees, in descending order, are: “Trevor Noah: Where Was I” (Netflix) at 9/2 odds, “Ricky Gervais: Armageddon” (Netflix) at 9/2 odds, “Wanda Sykes: I’m an Entertainer” (Netflix) at 11/2 odds, “Sarah Silverman: Someone You Love” (HBO) at 6/1 odds, and “Amy Schumer: Emergency Contact” (Netflix) at 15/2 odds.

The prophecy may now come to pass: There’s a good chance Jeremy Allen White wins a Golden Globe Award for Season 2 of “The Bear,” a week before he wins an Emmy… for Season 1 of “The Bear.” Ditto the show’s Ayo Edibiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
And so goes the most unusual TV awards season ever, where a delayed Primetime Emmys — with its June 1, 2022, to May 31, 2023, eligibility window — falls smack into a Globes, Critics’ Choice and guild awards season with a January to December, 2023 time frame.
The Hollywood strikes also may have had an impact on the even more limited-than-usual showing for broadcast networks at the Globes. ABC’s “Abbott Elementary” was the sole broadcast nominee, and even it saw its fortunes drop to just two nods: Best comedy and best female actor in a comedy (Quinta Brunson).
Interestingly, despite the difference in eligibility dates, the Globes’ comedy nominations were...

The Golden Globes have continued their annual tradition of surprising us awards pundits. A whopping 42 individuals reaped their first nominations this year. After a string of wins at recent critics prizes, Lily Gladstone (“Killers of the Flower Moon”), Charles Melton (“May December”) and Da’Vine Joy Randolph (“The Holdovers”) have also scored their first-ever Globes noms. Although “The Color Purple” was snubbed in Best Comedy/Musical, it did earn bids for Fantasia Barrino and Danielle Brooks, both first-time nominees this year. See the complete list of first-time nominees at the 2024 Golden Globes below.
Visionary director Yorgos Lanthimos has surprisingly never been nominated for a Globe before, but earns his first bid this year for “Poor Things.” First-time filmmaker Celine Song earned not one, but two Globes nominations for “Past Lives” for both directing and for her screenplay. The Original Song category boasts two major stars amongst its roster of first-timers, including...

In addition to a top-to-bottom organization overall, the Golden Globes has added two new categories for its next awards, for cinematic and box office achievement and stand-up comedy performance on television.
The creation for a box office achievement award is clearly a move to attract viewers who have tuned out kudofests in recent decades because they tend to focus on little-seen movies. The category honors artistically outstanding films that have grossed more than $150 million, with at least $100 million coming from the domestic box office, or have commensurate streaming viewership confirmed by a “trusted industry source.” Films released after Nov. 22 may qualify if their projected box office or viewership meets the benchmarks.
The field of contenders is surprisingly wide, with no fewer than 20 films eligible as of November, ranging from horror films, Marvel and DC Universe movies, action spectaculars and kid-friendly titles (including “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” and “Elemental”) to...
