Selena Gomez made a dazzling appearance at the 2023 Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles. The 30-year-old actress, nominated for Best Television Actress – Musical/Comedy Series for her role in “Only Murders In The Building,” wore a stunning wine-hued gown that accentuated her curves and featured a plunging neckline and a thigh-high split. Completing her glamorous look were purple puff sleeves and a sweeping train. Selena’s hair was styled in an elegant updo, and her makeup added a radiant touch.
The Golden Globe Awards returned after a one-year hiatus, held at The Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which organizes the event, aimed to address previous controversies and improve diversity. Notable nominations included “Yellowstone” finally getting recognition, Kevin Costner’s Best Actor nomination, and “The Banshees of Inisherin” leading with eight nominations. “The White Lotus” dominated the Limited Series categories, and “The Crown” received multiple nominations. The HFPA faced criticism in 2021 for its lack of diversity, leading to organizational changes and the removal of the former president, Phil Berk.
The 2023 Golden Globe Awards sought to regain its standing in the industry and featured black comedian Jerrod Carmichael as the host. The event presented 27 awards, honoring outstanding achievements in film and American television. Eddie Murphy received the Cecil B. DeMille Award, while Ryan Murphy was honored with the Carol Burnett Award. Presenters included Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Quentin Tarantino, and Billy Porter.
NBC, which had signed a long-term deal to broadcast the Golden Globe Awards, chose not to televise the previous edition due to ongoing reforms within the HFPA. However, they reached a one-year agreement to broadcast the 2023 ceremony. The viewership of the 2021 Globes declined, prompting the HFPA to work on rebuilding its reputation. The organization is currently overseen by interim Chief Executive Todd Boehly, whose investment firm bought the Globes and transformed it into a for-profit venture.
The return of the Golden Globe Awards to television was significant for NBC, and the terms of the new deal were undisclosed. The ceremony aimed to regain the trust of the industry and viewers after the controversies.
