The Golden Globes returned to the air on Tuesday (Wednesday AEDT) with a red carpet flush with celebrities, comedian Jerrod Carmichael as a hesitant emcee and top awards for Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans and Martin McDonagh’s The Banshees of Inisherin, as the beleaguered award show sought to rekindle its pre-pandemic and pre-scandal glamour.

Spielberg’s autobiographical coming-of-age film The Fabelmans won best drama film and the dark friendship tale The Banshees of Inisherin captured best film, comedy or musical. Abbott Elementary, White Lotus and House of the Dragon led the TV awards.
