    “And NOBODY Laughed!!! That s**t was uncalled for!,” another wrote.

  • Jerrod Carmichael slammed, part two

    Viewers at home were less than impressed with Jerrod’s comment.

    One tweeted: “Did I mishear that or did they just cheap a** joke demean Rock Hudson and Will Smith after the heartfelt LGBTQIA boosting by Ryan Murphy.”

    Another added: “Jerrod Carmichael is a goddamn disgrace. Before that sick “joke” about Houston, he made a disgusting remark about Rock Hudson/Will Smith.”

    “A Will Smith joke in 2023 is wack and corny. #GoldenGlobe,” a third posted.

    Sheryl said: “There’s nothing wrong with your nose. There is nothing wrong with the shade of your skin. There is nothing wrong with the way your hair grows out of your head.

    “And there is certainly nothing wrong with your lips because there will be some people called Kardashians and they will pay $10,000 for your lips.”

    She finished by saying: “Hang in there 15-year-old Sheryl Lee Ralph! You’re good!”

  • Oscars v Golden Globes

    One significant distinction between the two award shows is that the Golden Globes also honor television, while the Oscars honor exclusively film. 

    The Golden Globe winners are chosen by a small group of 93 members of the HFPA, but the Oscar winners are chosen by roughly 60,000 industry professionals who are members of the AMPAS. 

    The Globes are also a bigger event than the Oscars, with food and beverages offered, whereas the Oscars typically only feature the awards ceremony with the remainder of the celebration taking place in the after-party.

    Finally, in comparison to the Oscars, the Golden Globes have more categories.

    The Golden Globe Award is an accolade bestowed to a winner by 93 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which celebrates excellence in cinema and television in the United States and abroad. 

    The yearly ceremony and dinner, where the winners are revealed, are a big element of the awards. 

    In January 1944, the first Golden Globe Awards were presented, honoring the finest in cinema and television, including cast and crew. 

    The Golden Globe Awards now include 25 categories, including 14 for feature movies and 11 for television.

    NBC decided to pull the plug on the show due to the lack of diversity by the HFPA.
