80th Golden Globes - Best Moments

Sitting front and center, nominee Brad Pitt was the most mentioned star at the Golden Globes 2023. From Austin Butler to Regina Hall, winners and presenters interrupted their speeches when their eyes caught him, and being the good sport he is, he played along.

Writer-director Martin McDonagh really is an ongoing blessing in Colin Farrell's career: the actor won his first Golden Globe for In Bruges and now another one for the The Banshees of Inisherin. .

She is another winner who waited 40 years for this recognition: in her acceptance speech, Michelle Yeoh, she of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Crazy Rich Asians fame, an actress and former Bond-woman (in Tomorrow Never Dies opposite Pierce Brosnan), remembers the difficulties of being included. And humorously threatens fellow Asian Chloe Flower who dared to interrupt her speech with her piano play-off with her martial arts skills.

The year was 1994, and Angela Bassett won her first Golden Globe for playing an icon, Tina Turner in What's Love Got To Do With It. Becoming an icon herself, here she is accepting her second Globe for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

He has been funny for more than 40 years - our Cecil B. deMille Award recipient Eddie Murphy did not disappoint when he accepted his trophy at the 80th Golden Globe Awards.

On top of her Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in a Limited Series, she takes the prize for funniest speech! Jennifer Coolidge, genuinely surprised and happy, helped onstage by none other than fellow winner Colin Farrell, lets loose on her joy, Ryan Murphy and The White Lotus series creator Mike White. Self-deprecating and a true comedienne, she thankfully had no filter on our stage.

He is the one who really started the show off on the most inspiring note: Ke Huy Quan, the winner of the evening's first award, Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for Everything Everywhere All at Once, was truly moved when he recalled his first acting job more than 30 years ago under the direction of fellow winner Steven Spielberg. And he had us all in tears.

In the coming days we will flash back to the show's best moments. For very sad reasons we are starting with Austin Butler's moving acceptance speech for Best Actor - Motion Picture - Drama where at the end he thanks Lisa Marie Presley who tragically left this earth less than 48 hours after she attended our Awards.
