Murphy continued to set up the joke: “It’s a blueprint and I followed it my whole career:

“Pay your taxes, mind your business, and keep Will Smith’s wife’s name out your f*****g mouth,” the comedian says, referencing the actor’s explosive moment at the 2022 Oscars.

The White Lotus won the Limited Series Globe

Mike White’s The White Lotus won Best Limited Series.

The director and creator was still teary after Jennifer Coolidge’s emotional speech when he got on stage, and he said he was “too drunk” to speak due to the lack of food at the event.

However, White gave a hilarious speech and thanked his cast and crew immensely.

Austin Butler won for Elvis

Cate Blanchett, who won for her performance in Tár, was not able to accept her award because she was said to be filming in Britain.

Amanda Seyfried wasn't at the event to accept her award for her portrayal of Elizabeth Holmes in The Dropout because she was said to be working on a new musical.

Michelle Yeoh snapped 'shut up' during speech

Michelle Yeoh won best actress in a motion picture musical or comedy for her role as Evelyn Quan Wang in Everything Everywhere All At Once.

Once her name was announced and she got on the Golden Globes stage, she stood at the microphone and took in the view.

She said it took her 40 years to stand on that stage. It was her first nomination and her first win at the Golden Globes.

During her speech, the classic awards show music began to play, and that was supposed to be her cue to wrap it up.

But Michelle waited too long for this moment, so she yelled: "Shut up, please. I could beat you up." at the producers backstage playing the music.

Host ripped 'racist' awards

Jerrod Carmichael opened the show with no bells and whistles, shooting straight with viewers and those in the live audience.

He said during the opening speech: "This show, the Golden Globe Awards, did not air last year because The Hollywood Foreign Press Association – which, I won’t say they’re a racist organization, but they didn’t have a single Black member until George Floyd got killed, so…do with that what you will.”

Fans shocked by Angela Bassett's age

Black Panther actress Angela Bassett's stunning look at the awards show sparked much conversation about how young she appears to look for her age of 64.

On Twitter a fan praised: "Angela Bassett is 64 years old. She must be a kind person to look that good at 64 because kindness is a fountain of youth."

Another fan complimented: "Well deserved! 64 and still looking like a whole snack!"

A third fan exclaimed: "ANGELA BASSETT IS 64???? WTF SHE LOOKS SO YOUNG.";

Other fans jokingly implied that Angela must be a mythical "vampire," vampires don't age, since she doesn't seem to ever get older.

"...She could in fact be a vampire because there’s no way she should look as good as she does — No freaking way," one fan on Twitter expressed.

Jennifer Coolidge is invited to parties now

During her acceptance speech, star Jennifer Coolidge revealed that she is grateful to The White Lotus director Mike White for getting her invited to parties.

"Mike White you have given me hope - even if this is the end because you killed me off," the actress joked.

"You have just changed my life in a million different ways and my neighbors are speaking to me.

"I was never invited to one party on my hill and now everyone is inviting me."

Jennifer Coolidge's speech, continued

Jennifer Coolidge quipped: "Some of these things would go like five different sequels … American Pie – I milked that thing to the bone. I’m still going for six, seven – whatever they want."

Jennifer then turned her attention to The White Lotus creator Mike White, saying: "Mike White. I just, you know, I just truly I just want you all to know that I had such big dreams and expectations as a younger person but what happens is they get sort of fizzled by life. I thought I was gonna be the queen of Monaco but somebody else did it."

Her concluding sentence was then cut off, as she cursed and was censored.

Jennifer Coolidge's acceptance speech

An out-of-breath Jennifer Coolidge, 61, took to the stage in a floor-length sequin gown during the show.

She began her speech by simply saying: "Thank you. Thank you so much. Wow. Thank you Hollywood Foreign Press. It really means a lot."

The Legally Blonde actress then joked: "I can put this down right? I don’t work out, you know what I mean? I can’t hold it that long."

Her speech took a turn as she began reflecting on some of the harder times in her career, recalling: "There were like five people that kept me going for like 20 years with these little jobs and Ryan Murphy you were one of them. … It was you Ryan and let’s see, we got…Well, who else was there? It was just you Ryan.

"I didn’t know anybody and it was just this thing that wasn’t going anywhere and then there was these people that would give me these cute little jobs that would keep me going."

Host's joke about Scientology, continued

Shelly Miscavige, the wife of Scientology leader David Miscavige, allegedly vanished in 2007.

Actress and former Scientologist Leah Remini filed a missing person report to police and claimed Shelly had not been publicly seen since 2007.

Six years later, Los Angeles Police Department said they made contact with Shelly but would not confirm whether they saw her or spoke to her on the phone. 

The Church of Scientology branded Remini's claims "just harassment" and said Shelly was not seen as she had been working "non-stop."

Host's joke about Scientology didn't land

Jerrod Carmichael made a joke about the "safe return" of Church of Scientology leader David Miscavige's wife, Shelly, who allegedly vanished in 2007.

Carmichael made the joke as he was introducing two of notable Scientologist Tom Cruise's Top Gun: Maverick costars.

Cruise, who was reportedly absent from Tuesday night's awards ceremony, returned his three Golden Globe Awards in 2021 following controversy around the show's governing body, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

When he made the joke, Carmichael appeared onstage juggling the three statues that Cruise returned.

“Look I’m just the host, but a pitch ... Maybe we can take these three things [Golden Globes] and exchange them for the safe return of Shelly Miscavige," Carmichael said.

Fans slam host's 'disgraceful' joke

Golden Globes fans have slammed host Jerrod Carmichael's "disgraceful" joke about Whitney Houston's death.

Carmichael appeared onstage following a commercial break and claimed that he was told to "shout out the venue that we're in."

"So, we are here, live, from the hotel that killed Whitney Houston, the Beverly Hilton," he continued.

Houston, 48, died on February 11, 2012.

She was found unresponsive in a bathtub inside of the swanky California hotel.

"Who is this guy ? That was outrageous what he said about the late Whitney Houston. He should be banned from any awards show forever! #DISGRACEFUL!," one person tweeted.

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

Zendaya is 'so sorry' for missing award

"To my fellow nominees, it is a privilege to be named beside you, I admire you all deeply.

"Thank you to my Euphoria family, without you, none of this is possible.

"Lastly, than you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has allowed Rue into theirs. I think everyone knows how much she means to me, but the fact that she can mean something to someone else is a gift.

"I'm honestly at a loss for words as I type this, all I can say is thank you thank you thank you."
