No one is watching awards shows like they used to.
In mid-January, the Golden Globes only managed to draw 6.3 million television viewers, representing the lowest numbers in several years and a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/despite-diversity-efforts-golden-globes-ratings-tank-for-2023-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">26% decrease</a> in audience compared to 2021. That particular awards show has been plagued by controversy for years as critics accused the Hollywood Foreign Press Association of being racist. 
But no one watched the ceremony even after they spent a full year fine-tuning diversity initiatives.
The Globes are not the only awards show suffering from a chronic lack of viewers. In September, the 74th Annual Emmy Awards attracted a mere 5.9 million eyes, a huge 25% drop from the previous year’s show. The event, touted as “television’s biggest night,” fell short of expectations in 2022.
Meanwhile, even the glitz and glamor of the Oscars wasn’t enough to draw people in like it has in the past. The 94th Academy Awards <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/second-least-watched-oscars-in-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was a huge fail</a> as it represents the second-least watched Oscars in the history of the show since Nielsen started tracking viewers in the mid-1970s.
There was a time when major broadcasts like the Academy Awards attracted an audience second only to the Super Bowl. So what’s going on with awards shows? Are TV watchers just over it?
There are several explanations for what’s going on and most of them aren’t pandemic related. But the pause in live broadcasts did affect viewership numbers and those people realized they don’t miss watching enough to tune back in.
“Once you’ve broken the habit, it’s hard to get them back,” said Preston Beckman, a media consultant who worked previously at Fox and NBC, <a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2021-04-13/oscars-grammys-awards-shows-ratings-struggling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the LA Times of people abandoning awards shows.
The same article noted that members of the 18 to 49 demographic, which they identified as the most attractive to advertisers, are not interested in live broadcasts the same way previous generations were. These viewers are hooked on streaming services, and while that may mean missing out on Will Smith slapping Chris Rock on live TV, there’s always Twitter and thousands of follow-up memes to catch them up on what happened.
There’s a consensus among viewers that these shows are long, boring, and unnecessary. Even TV and movie fans who put value in which projects win don’t care to spend three hours of their lives waiting to find out the results.
Further, awards shows aren’t doing themselves any favors by nominating obscure, niche films that most people haven’t heard of. Would-be viewers are less likely to watch because they don’t agree that these are the best entertainment being created.
“As social media has risen, awards shows generally have declined because award shows represent a very top-down structure. ‘We, institution, will tell you, customer, what it is that you should like,’” Berklee College of Music professor George Howard <a href="https://bunewsservice.com/the-death-of-awards-shows-do-people-no-longer-care/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> BU News Service of why people were tuning out. “Now, that’s been inverted, where it’s ‘we, customer, will tell you, institution, what we like.’”
And let’s not forget one of the most common complaints about watching millionaires hand each other gold statues, a sentiment which rubs some people wrong even when the economy is healthy.
“The problem is, the big stars are completely dependent on the institution, so they have to play along with the charade that is totally self-congratulatory and totally divorced from any type of reality in order to keep the gravy train going,” Howard observed. “People, frankly, do not care.”
There’s another important problem with awards shows that the media rarely talks about. As the industry becomes increasingly politicized, celebrities are using awards speeches as a platform to broadcast their Left-wing talking points, which is in turn alienating half their potential audience. Viewers are sick of being lectured, so they’re simply not watching anymore.
Even the LA Times <a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2021-04-13/oscars-grammys-awards-shows-ratings-struggling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">admitted</a> this was a major culprit for the viewership decline, writing, “some audience members don’t want to hear stars presenting their political positions on the programs.”
Awards show organizers have been working hard to bring the audience back. In 2020, the HFPA invited Ricky Gervais to host the Golden Globes, knowing he’d be controversial enough to attract viewers on both sides of the political spectrum.
The British comedian absolutely skewered members or “woke” Hollywood, telling jokes about Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, Prince Andrew, and MeToo while movie stars like Tom Hanks looked on with looks of pure shock on their faces.
&#8220;You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything,&#8221; he told the gathered crowd of celebrities. &#8220;You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg.&#8221;
“If you win, come up, accept your little award, thank your agent, and your God and f*** off,” he said. “You say you&#8217;re woke but the companies you work for in China — unbelievable. Apple, Amazon, Disney. If ISIS started a streaming service you&#8217;d call your agent, wouldn&#8217;t you?”
Gervais isn’t conservative, but it had been so long since liberals allowed honest jokes that viewers immediately branded him that way.
“How the f*** can teasing huge corporations and the richest, most privileged people in the world be considered right-wing?” he <a href="https://twitter.com/rickygervais/status/1214328382298755072?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wondered</a> on Twitter.
Predictably, Gervais wasn’t invited back to host the Globes. But it’s unclear if a provocative host would do anything to delay the continuing slow death march of the once mighty award show genre.
The reality is that ABC, CBS, and NBC all pay extraordinary licensing fees to broadcast these awards shows. If viewership continues declining, there could come a point when the networks consider it too costly to keep them just for nostalgia’s sake.
And if they went away, would anyone care that much?

This year’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/golden-globes">Golden Globe Awards</a> were back after a diversity-related controversy last year, but it only managed to attract 6.3 million <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/television">television</a> viewers, representing the lowest numbers in several years and a 26% decrease from 2021.
This year’s broadcast narrowly avoided the worst-ever viewership, which occurred in 2008 during the Hollywood writers&#8217; strike. 
Per Nielsen <a href="https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/golden-globes-ratings-2023-nbc-1235482220/">data</a>, the program averaged between 17 million and 20 million viewers during its heyday between 2010 and 2020. Those numbers even came close to Academy Award viewing in 2019, making it a contender to become the most-watched <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">awards show</a>, and in 2020 the Globes boasted 18.3 million viewers. 
But then two events eviscerated the broadcast, and so far, it hasn’t recovered.
The COVID pandemic affected those growing numbers. The 2021 Globes hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler drew a mere 6.9 million viewers and a 1.5 rating among adults 18-49. The bicoastal, virtual event failed to draw viewers like it had in the past. 
Then in 2022, NBC decided not to air the program following accusations of a lack of diversity and inclusion in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The HFPA hosted last year’s Globes as a private ceremony at the Beverly Hilton and didn’t have any nominees in attendance. It also vowed to make changes to the organization. 
This year marked a return to normalcy with the show live and in person, plus aired on NBC again. The HFPA instituted new diversity standards and selected black comedian Jerrod Carmichael as the host. He opened his monologue by addressing why he was hired.
“I’ll tell you why I’m here. I’m here because I’m black,” Carmichael <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/im-here-because-im-black-golden-globes-host-jerrod-carmichael-opens-monologue-with-blunt-joke">joked</a> before referencing the alleged racism of the HFPA in the past. 
“This show, the Golden Globe Awards, did not air last year because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which I won’t say they were a racist organization, but they didn’t have a single black member until George Floyd died,” he continued. “So do with that information what you will.”
One explanation for the poor viewership is that The Globes used to take place on Sunday nights, so fans could have been unaware the ceremony was airing on a Tuesday evening. Social media was filled with reactions that indicated they had no idea it was on.
Also, award show viewership overall is down industry-wide. In September, the 74th Annual Emmy Awards saw a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/this-years-emmy-awards-viewership-hit-a-new-record-low">steep decline</a> in viewership when just 5.9 million people tuned in for “television’s biggest night.” This represented a 25% decrease compared to the previous year.
Even the Academy Awards isn&#8217;t attracting the audience it used to. While last year’s show in March represented a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/second-least-watched-oscars-in-history">58% increase</a> compared to the previous year, it was still the second-lowest viewership in the awards show history.

Despite Diversity Efforts, Golden Globes Ratings Tank For 2023 Show

&#8220;Indiana Jones&#8221; star Ke Huy Quan got emotional during his acceptance speech at the 80th <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/golden-globes">Golden Globe Awards,</a> sharing how he thought his time in Hollywood was over after it took over 20 years for him to land another role.
During the show Tuesday night, the 51-year-old actor took the stage after winning Best Supporting Actor in a motion picture for his role in the surprise hit &#8220;Everything Everywhere All at Once.&#8221; Quan thanked the man who gave him his first break, director Steven Spielberg, who hired Quan as a child actor to play alongside Harrison Ford in the 1984 &#8220;Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom&#8221; film.
&#8220;I was raised to never forget where I came from and to always remember who gave me my first opportunity,&#8221; Quan shared as he was clearly overjoyed. &#8220;I am so happy to see Steven Spielberg here tonight. Steven, thank you!&#8221;
&#8220;When I started my career as a child actor in &#8216;Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,&#8217; I felt so very lucky to have been chosen,&#8221; he added. &#8220;As I grew older, I started to wonder if that was it. If that was just luck. For so many years, I was afraid I had nothing more to offer. That no matter what I did, I would never surpass what I achieved as a kid.&#8221;

&#8220;Thankfully, more than 30 years later, two guys thought of me,&#8221; the actor continued as he started to get choked up. &#8220;They remembered that kid. And they gave me an opportunity to try again.&#8221;
It was clear the actor was becoming emotional and holding back tears as he thanked the directors of the 2022 film, Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, for giving him a shot. The &#8220;Goonies&#8221; star said ever since he landed the role in their movie things have been &#8220;unbelievable.&#8221;
&#8220;&#8230;Thank you so, so much for helping me find my answer,&#8221; Quan shared. &#8220;You have given me more than I could have ever hoped.&#8221;
He closed out his speech by thanking the Hollywood Foreign Press for this &#8220;incredible&#8221; honor and said he wanted to thank the most important person in his life, his wife Echo, as he got choked up again.
&#8220;The one person that never stopped believing in me,&#8221; Quan shared, holding back tears. &#8220;My wife Echo, I love you with all my heart.&#8221;

&#8220;I want to let you know that there is a definitive blueprint that you can follow to achieve success, prosperity, longevity, and peace of mind,&#8221; Murphy explained.
&#8220;It&#8217;s a blueprint, and I&#8217;ve followed it my whole career,&#8221; he added. &#8220;It&#8217;s very simple, just do these three things: pay your taxes, mind your business and keep Will Smith&#8217;s wife’s name out of your f***ing mouth!&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/golden-globes">Golden Globes</a> host Jerrod Carmichael said he was chosen to emcee the event because of his skin color.
The 35-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/comedy">comedian</a> hosted the awards ceremony, which aired Tuesday night after being dropped from NBC in 2022. 
“I&#8217;ll tell you why I&#8217;m here. I’m here because I’m black,” Carmichael began during his monologue, referencing how the Hollywood Foreign Press Association was accused of lack of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/diversity">diversity</a>.

“This show, the Golden Globe Awards, did not air last year because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which I won’t say they were a racist organization, but they didn’t have a single black member until George Floyd died,” he continued. “So do with that information what you will.”
The “Saturday Night Live” actor went on to describe how he got offered the hosting gig seemingly out of the blue.
“One minute you’re making mint tea at home, the next, you’re invited to be the black face of an embattled white organization,” he said during the speech before congratulating “six new black members” added to the voting committee following last year’s debacle.
HFPA president Helen Hoehne previously discussed their decision to have Carmichael as host. 
“His comedic talents have entertained and thrilled audiences while providing thought-provoking moments that are so important in the times we live,” she said in <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/anthonyrobledo/jerrod-carmichael-golden-globes-host">December</a>. “Jerrod is the special kind of talent this show calls for to kick off the awards season.”
In 2022, NBC chose not to air the Golden Globes due to the “magnitude” of diversity and ethical changes that needed to be made, as The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nbc-wont-air-golden-globes-due-to-hfpas-diversity-and-ethical-reforms">reported</a>.
“We continue to believe that the HFPA is committed to meaningful reform,” NBC said in a statement at the time. “However, change of this magnitude takes time and work, and we feel strongly that the HFPA needs time to do it right. As such, NBC will not air the 2022 Golden Globes. Assuming the organization executes on its plan, we are hopeful we will be in a position to air the show in January 2023.”
Following these accusations, the HFPA released a series of guidelines and pledged to add more people of color. These changes weren’t enough for some people, however, as Time’s Up president Tina Tchen said the proposed reforms were not significant. 
“The window-dressing platitudes adopted yesterday are neither the transformation that was promised nor what our creative community deserves,” Tchen said. “Any organization or sponsors that set themselves up to pass judgment on our vibrant community of creators and talent must do better.”
The HFPA has since been working diligently to achieve diversity standards, which included hiring Carmichael as the host.

The 60-year-old replied with a joking, “Shut up,” when the music started playing, a common tactic used to usher talent off the stage when their remarks drag on too long. 
“I can beat you up,” Yeoh continued. “And that’s serious.”
Yeoh was on stage accepting the award for Best Actress in a motion picture, musical, or comedy category for her depiction of laundromat owner Evelyn Wang in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” The Malaysian star has been working in Hollywood for decades, starting with the James Bond film “Tomorrow Never Dies” (1997).

&#8220;I’m just going to stand here and take this all in,” she said during her speech on Tuesday. “Forty years … I’m not letting go of this.”
“When I first came to Hollywood, it was a dream come true … until I got here. I came here and was told, ‘You’re a minority,&#8217;” Yeoh said of her career experience. She also discussed getting fewer parts as she got older.
“I thought, ‘Hey, come on girl. You had a really, really good run,&#8217;” she said.
“Thank you A24 for believing in these two goofy, insanely smart, wonderful geniuses, [directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert], who had the courage to write about a very ordinary immigrant, aging woman, mother, daughter,” Yeoh said of the film company which distributed “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”
“I was given this gift of playing this woman who resonated so deeply with me and with so many people because, at the end of the day, in whatever universe she was at, she was fighting for love, for her family,” she continued.
Yeoh previously talked about her mother’s reaction to her role in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” During an <a href="https://ew.com/movies/michelle-yeoh-mom-upset-everything-everywhere-all-at-once/">interview</a> with Entertainment Weekly, the actress revealed her mom’s surprising criticism.
&#8220;I was really worried about her seeing the sex toys that were flying around in the movie, but I guess she never noticed those. Instead, she said, &#8216;Why do you look so old? You should look like the film where you had the ballgown on!&#8217; I&#8217;m like, &#8216;Oh my God,&#8217;” she said. 
“But that&#8217;s so typical of my mom: She wants me to run around the entire movie looking like a movie star.&#8221;

The Golden Globes, whose ratings crashed 64% in 2021, then had its 2022 event canceled following an investigation by The Los Angeles Times accusing the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which hosts the awards, of ethical failures, announced their 2022 nominees for film and television for their event on January 10.

Actor <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/my-bad-it-wont-happen-again-hollywood-actor-apologizes-to-san-francisco-for-25-year-old-movie-stunt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brendan Fraser</a> has been the talk of Tinsel Town since the release of his latest film &#8220;The Whale&#8221; — and according to his &#8220;Airheads&#8221; co-star and friend <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/its-only-painful-to-say-out-loud-adam-sandler-gives-update-after-hip-surgery/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adam Sandler</a>, it couldn&#8217;t be happening to a nicer guy.
Sandler, who recently took home a Performer Tribute Award at the Gotham Awards, is also generating Oscar buzz around his latest Netflix offering, &#8220;Hustle.&#8221; But when asked about Fraser at a press event for the basketball dramedy, the comedian had nothing but the <a href="https://ew.com/movies/adam-sandler-praises-brendan-fraser-the-whale/?utm_campaign=entertainmentweekly_entertainmentweekly&amp;utm_content=movies&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_term=638cb97b3cb3cc0001013c26" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highest praise</a> for his former co-star.
&#8220;He&#8217;s just so smart, such a deep guy, and he&#8217;s such a loving sweetheart. We&#8217;ve been talking a lot lately and I couldn&#8217;t be happier for him,&#8221; Sandler said of his friend. &#8220;His performance, I saw [&#8216;The Whale&#8217;], is ridiculous. He&#8217;s always been great, he&#8217;s always been as deep as it gets. When we were doing &#8216;Airheads,&#8217; he was on a different trip than all of us.&#8221;
&#8220;Airheads,&#8221; released in 1994, featured Fraser and Sandler — along with actor Steve Buscemi — as bandmates who inadvertently create a hostage situation at a radio station. Armed with water pistols full of hot sauce, they interrupt a broadcast and demand that an insolent deejay (Joe Mantegna) play their demo tape on the air.

The movie <a href="http://www.leesmovieinfo.net/title.php?t=5563" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bombed</a> — raking in negative reviews and less than $6 million at the box office — but Sandler said that Fraser had been so fully committed to the role that he wasn&#8217;t the least bit surprised to see the arc his career followed afterward.
&#8220;He really took [&#8216;Airheads&#8217;] serious, he took everything about the full growth of his character and his look and what each line meant. He was never messing around. The fact that he got to make &#8216;The Whale,&#8217; and a bunch of great movies over the years, but the fact that it&#8217;s at such a great crescendo for him right now is not a shock.&#8221;
&#8220;The Whale&#8221; marks a comeback of sorts for <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/brendan-fraser-dons-a-fatsuit-in-the-whale-for-his-big-hollywood-comeback/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fraser</a>, who spent some time away from the spotlight after years of doing his own stunt work took a toll on him physically. Fraser also made headlines in 2018 when he <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/actor-brendan-fraser-alleges-former-hollywood-frank-camp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused</a> former Hollywood Foreign Press Association President Philip Berk of touching him inappropriately years earlier.
&#8220;I felt ill. I felt like a little kid. I felt like there was a ball in my throat. I thought I was going to cry,&#8221; Fraser said, recounting the incident and noting that he had essentially disappeared from Hollywood life in that aftermath.

‘Airheads’ Co-Star Has Nothing But Praise For Brendan Fraser As Both Generate Oscar Buzz

'Airheads' Co-Star Adam Sandler Has Nothing But Praise For Brendan Fraser As Both Generate Oscar Buzz

Hollywood star Brendan Fraser said his &#8220;mother didn&#8217;t raise a hypocrite&#8221; as he explained why fans won&#8217;t see him at the 2023 Golden Globes awards despite talk of him being nominated because of his role in &#8220;The Whale.&#8221;
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/brendan-fraser-dons-a-fatsuit-in-the-whale-for-his-big-hollywood-comeback" target="_blank" rel="noopener">53-year-old</a> actor talked about his history with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which puts on the Golden Globes, and said that its response to his sexual assault accusations against its former president and member Philip Berk is the reason why he wouldn’t attend, <a href="https://www.gq.com/story/brendan-fraser-men-of-the-year-cover-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GQ</a> magazine reported.
&#8220;I have more history with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association than I have respect for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association,&#8221; Fraser shared when asked if he would attend if invited. &#8220;No, I will not participate. It&#8217;s because of the history that I have with them. And my mother didn&#8217;t raise a hypocrite. You can call me a lot of things, but not that.&#8221;
In 2018, Fraser told <a href="https://www.gq.com/story/what-ever-happened-to-brendan-fraser" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GQ</a> that Berk had allegedly groped and assaulted him during a lunch they had in 2003. The former president of the organization disputed the accusations. Fraser shared that, at that time, the alleged assault &#8220;made me retreat,&#8221; sharing that &#8220;something had been taken away from me.&#8221;

Presenting our final <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/GQMOTY?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#GQMOTY</a> 2022 cover star: Brendan Fraser.
Four years ago, he opened up to GQ about his supposed disappearance from Hollywood. Now, he’s an Oscar favorite — and reckoning with the kind of comeback you only see in movies: <a href="https://t.co/ySB4Le6kOy">https://t.co/ySB4Le6kOy</a> <a href="https://t.co/uHF5ICaCEN">pic.twitter.com/uHF5ICaCEN</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In the new article, the actor said after the accusations came out, he heard &#8220;from college friends, people I hadn&#8217;t worked with or seen going back 30 years of my career.&#8221; He said finding out the story had trended on Twitter made him feel like people had seen him &#8220;naked.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s like people know what you look like, they know the story about you,&#8221; the &#8220;Blast From The Past&#8221; star shared, but admitted that in the end, he found telling his story to be &#8220;liberating&#8221; and a &#8220;weight removed.&#8221;
The HFPA promised to do an inquiry into his allegations. After it was completed, they wanted to issue a joint statement with Fraser that read, according to the actor, &#8220;Although it was concluded that Mr. Berk inappropriately touched Mr. Fraser, the evidence supports that it was intended to be taken as a joke and not as a sexual advance.&#8221;
However, Berk wasn&#8217;t removed as a member and Fraser said the former president told him he faced no disciplinary action, &#8220;None at all.&#8221;
Fraser refused to sign the joint statement and said that he &#8220;knew they would kick the can down the road. I knew they would get ahead of the story. I knew that I certainly had no future with that system as it was.&#8221;
In 2021, Berk was kicked out of the group after sharing a piece labeling Black Lives Matter as a &#8220;racist hate movement,&#8221; the outlet noted.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/comedian-ricky-gervais-says-he-deals-with-taboo-subjects-in-his-shows-and-smart-people-can-deal-with-anything">Ricky Gervais</a> responded with two words on Sunday after someone on Twitter suggested the comedian host the 2023 Golden Globes awards show.
&#8220;F*** that,&#8221; the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ricky-gervais">61-year-old</a> British actor tweeted, along with a crying/laughing face emoji, in response to a tweet that read, &#8220;[Retweet] if you wish @rickygervais would host the golden globes again in 2023.&#8221;
The post also included just a smidge of the hilariously brutal NSFW comments he made during his performance in 2020 when he was emcee of the annual show.

Earlier this year, &#8220;The Office&#8221; star reportedly told an audience in London that he &#8220;wouldn’t have made a joke about&#8221; Jada Pinkett Smith&#8217;s shaved head if he had hosted the Oscars, but would have made wisecracks about &#8220;her boyfriend&#8221; instead.
&#8220;I&#8217;ll get it out of the way,&#8221; the &#8220;Ghost Town&#8221; star <a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/movies/ricky-gervais-shares-his-take-on-chris-rocks-jada-pinkett-smith-oscars-joke-and-how-he-ended-up-trending-after-the-will-smith-slap">shared</a>. &#8220;I have not got any Will Smith material. I trended when that happened and I was not even there.&#8221;
&#8220;What has it got to do with me?&#8221; he added. &#8220;People were going &#8216;What would have happened if Ricky Gervais had been doing it (hosting Oscars)?&#8221;
&#8220;Well, nothing as I would not have made a joke about his wife’s hair,&#8221; Gervais continued. &#8220;I would have made a joke about her boyfriend.&#8221;
The &#8220;After Life&#8221; star famously hosted the Globes five times, with his opening monologue from 2020 going viral after he took a sledgehammer to celebrities and big tech companies for their hypocrisy.
The uncensored monologue from the 2020 Golden Globes can be seen below with cuts from Gervais&#8217;s no-holds-barred segments.

To open the show, Gervais said it would be last time he planned to host the Golden Globes or any awards shows, sharing that he doesn&#8217;t &#8220;care anymore. I’m joking. I never did. I’m joking, I never did. NBC clearly don&#8217;t care either — fifth time. I mean, Kevin Hart was fired from the Oscars for some offensive tweets — hello?&#8221;
He closed out the segment by telling stars not to use the platform to &#8220;make a political speech&#8221; noting that they weren&#8217;t in any position to &#8220;lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg.&#8221;
&#8220;So if you win, come up, accept your little award, thank your agent, and your God and f*** off, OK?&#8221; Gervais added.

Ricky Gervais Has Two Words When Asked About Hosting 2023 Golden Globes

Paramount+ announced the addition of two A-listers to “1932,” the “Yellowstone” prequel, as they shared on <a href="https://twitter.com/paramountplus/status/1526648739246379008">Twitter</a> that legends Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren will join the cast. 
&#8220;Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford will star in the highly anticipated next installment of the Yellowstone origin story from Taylor Sheridan coming to Paramount+,&#8221; the statement on social media read. &#8220;It will introduce a new generation of the Dutton family and explore the early twentieth century when pandemics, historic drought, the end of Prohibition, and the Great Depression all plague the mountain west, and the Duttons who call it home.”
There aren’t many other details available about the newest project in the popular series besides that it’s premiering in December 2022. 
The original “Yellowstone” is country Western drama followed the lives of the Dutton family, owners of the largest ranch in Montana, and was a massive hit for Paramount+. Kevin Costner starred in the series as John Dutton.
The show’s popularity spurred the first spinoff, “1883,” which premiered in December 2021. Real-life husband and wife duo Faith Hill and Tim McGraw led the cast as James and Margaret Dutton.
Ford, 79, is best known for portraying Han Solo in the “Star Wars” franchise — and has starred in dozens of other big-name projects over the course of his decades-long career. He’s been nominated for an Academy Award and four Golden Globes.
British actress Mirren, 76, is the only performer to have earned the Triple Crown of Acting in both the United States and the United Kingdom. She won both an Academy Award and a British Academy Film Award for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in the 2006 biographical drama “The Queen.” 
In January, Meghan McCain wrote an opinion column expressing why she believed “Yellowstone” had become such a smashing success. McCain speculated that it was because the series celebrated old-fashioned values and wasn’t “woke.”
“The show isn’t woke, it isn’t trying to lecture anyone about everything that is wrong with our culture,” she wrote in part, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-show-isnt-woke-meghan-mccain-explains-yellowstone-becoming-a-smash-success">reported</a>. “It doesn’t portray the elitist perspective of coastal television writers and where they think America should be going.”
Some “Yellowstone” fans complained that more progressive storylines were being added to the show. “1883” received praise from fans for staying real and not pushing a political agenda. They’ll likely be watching to see if “1932” takes a similar approach.

In an untelevised ceremony, the 79th annual Golden Globes Award show honored Michaela Jaé “Mj” Rodriguez with the distinction of &#8220;Best Actress&#8221; in a television drama this past Sunday. Rodriguez was born a male and now claims to be a woman. Rodriguez won the award for playing the character Blanca, a nurse on the LGBT dramatic series, &#8220;Pose.&#8221; NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-pop-culture/mj-rodriguez-becomes-1st-transgender-actor-win-golden-globe-rcna11560">reported</a> that this was the first time a transgender actor has ever won a Golden Globe.
On Instagram, Rodriguez expressed appreciation for the award, hoping that the award will prove a &#8220;young Black Latina girl from Newark, New Jersey&#8221; could find success through &#8220;love.&#8221;
&#8220;Wow! You talking about sickening birthday present! Thank you! This is the door that is going to open the door for many more young talented individuals,” Rodriguez wrote on Instagram. “They will see that it is more than possible. They will see that a young Black Latina girl from Newark, New Jersey who had a dream, to change the minds others would WITH LOVE. LOVE WINS. To my young LGBTQAI babies WE ARE HERE the door is now open now reach the stars!!!!!&#8221;
Rodriguez also praised fellow nominees, saying, &#8220;To the nominees we are Queens.&#8221; Rodriguez also wrote, “I’m so happy to share space with you! Each and every last one of you women are phenomenal.&#8221;
&#8220;Pose&#8221; boasts of having the largest ensemble of transgender actors ever for one show. Last year, several stars of the show such as Indya Moore and Angelica Ross shared their belief that the FX drama was not being properly respected by the larger acting community and award shows:
<blockquote>
“Something abt trans ppl not being honored on a show abt trans ppl who created a culture to honor ourselves bc the world doesn’t,” tweeted Moore, who plays Angel Evangelista, a transgender sex worker pursuing a career as a fashion model. “Let’s call it cognitive cissonance.” 
</blockquote>
&#8220;Cissonance&#8221; is a play on the word &#8220;dissonance,&#8221; swapping out &#8220;dis&#8221; for &#8220;cis.&#8221; Cis is the term used by left-wing progressives to describe people who identify as the sex and gender they were born with.
Moore&#8217;s co-star Ross echoed similar sentiments:
<blockquote>
Angelica Ross, who played Black trans woman Candy Ferocity on the show, retweeted Moore and spoke candidly on Instagram about the snubs at the time.
“I want you to know from the jump that these tears are not about an award or a nomination,” Ross said. “Ultimately, I need y’all to understand that I’m so tired — those of you who know me know I’m not just working on screen or behind screen but I’m working around the clock to get our society to value trans lives and Black <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CYiNziOLrV0/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trans lives.”</a>
</blockquote>
Rodriguez is not the first man claiming to be a woman who has been recognized in recent weeks as the &#8220;best&#8221; female in a certain category.
Currently, a contestant named Amy Schneider on &#8220;Jeopardy!&#8221; is being praised for becoming the &#8220;woman&#8221; with the highest earnings and most consecutive games won on the popular quiz show. Schneider was also born a male but now claims to be, and is accepted by the Left as, a &#8220;woman.&#8221;
