The Golden Globe Awards will be held later in Los Angeles, but it is uncertain how popular the stars will be.
The award’s organizer, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, hopes to restore the status and reputation of the Golden Globes following two contentious years.

The league has been accused of ethical transgressions and a lack of diversity in 2021.
As a result, some stars have expressed their disapproval of the award, but others are aware of the boost a Golden Globe win would give to their chances of winning other awards.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced a series of reforms in an attempt to restore trust following a series of allegations that damaged the reputation of the award. Although the 2022 Golden Globe Awards ceremony has been curtailed and not broadcast on television, the organizers are trying to restore its luster this year.
“Nayhat Anisihorn” and “Everything and Everywhere at the Same Time” lead the nominations for the 2023 Film and TV Awards, followed by “Papillon” and “Al Febelman.”
Hollywood reaction
Hollywood’s reaction was strong and broad following the publication of a scathing report regarding the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in the Los Angeles Times in February 2021. The report concluded that there were no black members of the 87-member voting body, and that relatively few members were employed full-time. For prominent foreign periodicals.
The Post’s investigation also alleged that the group often accepted “freebies” from studios and public relations agencies, which were seeking nominations for their clients.
The allegations led NBC to cancel its broadcast of the 2022 ceremony, which was held behind closed doors with only a few stars in attendance.
Subsequently, the League announced a series of reforms, such as expanding and diversifying membership, and banning the acceptance of promotional materials from film and television studios.
All eyes will now be on Tuesday’s ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel to see if the award regains its status in Hollywood.
In anticipation of the awards ceremony, a number of television advertisements were broadcast, and billboards were spread throughout Los Angeles announcing “The return of the biggest party in Hollywood.” But it depends on the Hollywood stars attending the party.
Who are the stars who will attend, or will definitely not attend?
We know four stars are sure to be in attendance: director Quentin Tarantino and actors Billy Porter, Jamie Lee Curtis and Ana de Armas.
Jamie Lee Curtis and Ana de Armas are among the nominees for the Golden Globe Awards, with Curtis nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in “Everything, Everywhere at the Same Time” and de Armas for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama for her role in “Blonde.” in which Marilyn Monroe was embodied.
The league hopes that announcing such big names in advance will encourage others to attend.
But for some, their absence will be noticeable.
Brendan Fraser, who was nominated for best actor for “The Whale,” said he would not attend the ceremony following former league president Philip Burke was accused of sexual harassment in 2003.
The league concluded that Burke “inappropriately touched” Fraser, “but that it was “intended to be seen as a joke and not as sexual harassment.”
And Tom Cruise is another big star who will almost certainly not be attending the ceremony. And in 2021, Cruz returned three Golden Globe Awards, following the controversy that arose.
Cruz was not nominated for Best Actor this year, but his movie “Top Gun” was one of the most prominent films of last year, and he was nominated for Best Dramatic Film.
Co-star Scarlett Johansson has previously encouraged others in the film industry to “not show up”, while co-star Mark Ruffalo wrote last year that reforms by the league were “not encouraging”.
New presenter for the party
Before the controversy, the Golden Globes were one of the most popular award ceremonies with viewers. One of the reasons for the concert’s high entertainment value was the clever choice of presenter.
Pungent hosts such as Ricky Javis, Seth Meyers and Tina Fey often poke fun at the big stars in attendance and Hollywood stars in general, in a way that wouldn’t happen at a more formal Academy Awards ceremony.
This year, American comedian Jerrod Carmichael will host the ceremony. Although Carmichael is not a household name in Britain, he is popular in American comedy.
In 2022, Carmichael received an Emmy Award, and was nominated for a guest appearance on Saturday Night Live that same year.
“Traditionally, the Golden Globes have always been seen as the most entertaining,” Gervais told The Telegraph earlier this week.
“The tables are full of free wine, while the other prizes are theater seats and no drink at all,” he added.
“Of course, what’s best for the audience isn’t always great for the presenters,” he said. When the crowd gets drunk, you have to work harder to get their attention. I soon discovered that the prospect of hearing something horrible regarding themselves makes them listen.”
Who are the nominees for this year?
Nominations for the Golden Globes are Naihat An Nation, a black comedy starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleesen, which has been nominated for eight awards.
It is followed by Everything Everywhere at the Same Time starring Michelle Yeoh, who is nominated for six awards.
Papillon, in which director Damien Chazelle provides a glimpse into 1920s Hollywood, received five nominations, and Steven Spielberg’s biopic “Al Febelman” received six nominations.
Baz LeRoman’s “Elvis,” Guillermo del Toro’s animated “Pinocchio” and Todd Field’s “Tar” starring Cate Blanchett each received three nominations.
In the television segment of the award, the school comedy “Abbott Elementary” leads with five nominations, and the series “The Crown”, “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story”, “The Only Murders in the Building”, “Tommy and Pam” and “White Lotas” received four nominations.
Why is the Golden Globe Awards so important?
Although winning a Golden Globe is not a guarantee of winning an Academy Award, it can often be helpful in boosting the fortunes of a movie or actor and giving them a huge boost.
This is largely due to the crucial fact that the Golden Globes ceremony is televised. A well-received word can catch the eye of the large number of Academy voters who watch the Globes.
The Golden Globes are also particularly good at recognizing new talent. Rachel Ziegler, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Ariana DeBose, Emma Korine, Richard Madden, Awkwafina and Taron Egerton have all won Golden Globes and their stars are on the rise.
Austin Butler, Diego Calva and Barry Keoghan are among the youngest contenders this year. But a number of screen giants such as Cate Blanchett, Olivia Colman and Daniel Craig are also competing for awards.
