A quick perusal of the reviews indicated tv critics weren’t turned on by what they saw in CBS’s new incarnation of the Golden Globes. Host Jo Koy in particular took some heavy criticism for a generally unfunny and unsuccessful turn in a performance hovering around Ricky Gervais-insult level material but never really getting there. I can’t really speak to how they looked on the tube, but I can say it was fun in the room and the results as they count in the race towards Oscar can only be considered as extremely significant, a collection of winners without a single embarrassment between them. That alone is a triumph considering the history.
And as for the return of the Globes themselves (under new management that included Penske Media Corporation, parent company of Deadline) it felt like I was in some kind of time machine thrust back to 2018 , (pre-pandemic, pre-scandal, pre-strikes, pre-implosion), that had taken me back to a Globes show where the audience is constantly mingling and talking amongst themselves, where nobody really takes any of it seriously, and where it was still a good time, something actually living up to the claim of being “Hollywood’s party of the year”. I was barred from the Beverly Hilton Ballroom Globes ceremony last year for reasons only they know ( so were most of my fellow pundits), but we were welcomed back this year and I have to say it was a throwback to a Golden Globes that, while rocky at times and searching for its true identity in terms of the season, was a welcome cog in the wheel of this crazy race to Oscar, one with a genuine screwy past that 81 years-in still seems oddly necessary.
Universal certainly seems to think so. Executives and stars and filmmakers of their phenominal hit, Opp

Diego Ramos Bechara editor The comedian and host of “Late Night With Seth Meyers” told Variety he thought Jo Koy did a “great job” hosting the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards, considering the “deck was stacked against him.” On the red carpet for the Emmy Awards, Meyers was asked by Variety’s Marc Malkin what the comedian thought about Koy’s performance as host, to which he responded, “When you do a show like these, it helps to have a staff of people you know and you trust well.” Meyers continued, “So, all things considered, I thought he did a great job considering how the deck was stacked against him.” Meyers complimented Koy, saying he’s “had this incredible career” and “done it all on his own.” “That’s a real credit to Jo,” Meyers added. Koy is facing backlash for giving a divisive performance as host of the 81st Golden Globes, where he polarized viewers for, among other things, delivering what audiences believed to be a sexist joke in which he compared Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” and Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie.” “‘Oppenheimer’ is based on the 721-page Pulitzer Prize-winning book about the Manhattan Project — and ‘Barbie’ is about a plastic doll with big boobies,” he said as the Globe’s audience responded with a muted laugh.
