The past two years saw the Globes done in boycott mode. NBC canceled the televised ceremony in 2022 after critiques of the HFPA’s lack of diversity and payola accusations. After the HFPA got its Black membership up to a whopping 10 percent, the award show was allowed to return to the airwaves. Jerrod Carmichael will host, and Eddie Murphy will receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award. The 2023 Golden Globes will air on NBC on Tuesday, January 10, at 8 p.m. ET, 5 p.m. PT.
