Golden Globes 2024: How to watch, who’s coming and what else to know
The 81st Golden Globes, which aired on CBS, had viewers taking to social media to share their opinions and reactions from the start. But it wasn’t all bad, the “Barbie” Movie had its moment, “The Bear” won big and there were quite a few reunions between former co-stars.
Here are the main takeaways from the evening and a few things you’ll probably want to know about because chances are there will be a major discussion about them in the office tomorrow.
1. Viewers were not fans of the monologue
Comedian Jo Koy hosted the 81st Golden Globes, and his opening monologue did not go over well online.

“Barbie is based on a doll with big boobies.”
Cut to Greta Gerwig looking utterly disheartened at the way the movie she lovingly and tirelessly crafted is being blithely discussed.

2. Taylor Swift’s reactions were better received than the jokes
Taylor Swift didn’t seem to be amused by Koy’s joke about her. “The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL… On the Golden Globes we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift,” said Koy.

In 2019 he proved he had what it takes to be a leading man in his starring role in “The Sun Is Also a Star.” This year, he showcased his acting chops yet again in “May December” alongside Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman.

8. Lily Gladstone’s historic win
Gladstone is the first Indigenous woman to win the Golden Globe for best actress in a motion picture – drama.
Okay, Lily Gladstone’s speech made sitting through the rest of the Golden Globes worth it.
— Not THAT Karen, thank you (@karenbates) January 8, 2024
Lily Gladstone and Cillian Murphy were my two favorite wins of the night. They were the two best performances of the year and I can’t wait to see them win again in March.
Also loved Barbie for cinematic achievement.
