The Golden Globes was organized in Los Angeles with comedian Jerrod Carmichael as host. The awards returned to mainstream Hollywood after undergoing internal reforms following criticism of alleged racist and sexist voting practices. Last year’s Golden Globes were boycotted by NBC, which broadcasts the show, and many of Hollywood’s biggest stars, led by Tom Cruise, who returned all three of his Globes.
