In fact, the Golden Globe has not returned to its rightful position as a prestigious award in the filmmaking world, while this award was once considered second only to the Oscars in terms of popularity.

Because of the tournament’s shaky position, many famous MCs have refused invitations to host the event. The MC of this year’s event is comedian Jo Koy. With the awards ceremony program lasting more than 3 hours, the role of the host is decisive in the success or failure of the awards ceremony.

Host Jo Koy said he accepted the role of hosting the awards ceremony 10 days before the official event took place. Previously, a number of other MCs refused the invitation of the Organizing Committee.

In fact, right after the awards ceremony, Jo Koy had to receive a storm of criticism and criticism. He was judged to be uncharitable in his jokes, lacking in humor, and not bringing the necessary level of entertainment to the show.

MCs making fun of famous stars sitting in the auditorium is a familiar thing at awards ceremonies in Hollywood. But teasing in a way that doesn’t get a reaction and is even accepted humorously requires the MC to be skillful and subtle.

The fact that comedian Chris Rock once made fun of actress Jada Pinkett Smith’s hairstyle at the 2022 Oscars, only to be slapped by the actress’s husband – actor Will Smith – is a story. will be remembered for many years to come.

At the 2024 Golden Globe Awards, Jo Koy was also accused of making insensitive jokes towards some stars. For example, when Jo Koy saw actor Robert De Niro sitting in the auditorium, he made a joke about the fact that the actor had just welcomed his 7th child into the world when he was already 80 years old.

Jo Koy said: “This man has excelled throughout the decades. I don’t know how he is able to perform like that. His acting is at the peak of excellence. But there is one more thing, how does he do it? that he can get his girlfriend pregnant when he is 80 years old? Does he need to use CGI technology?”.

At this year’s awards, actor Robert De Niro was nominated in the category of Best Supporting Actor in a Movie for his role in the movie Killers of the Flower Moon. At Jo Koy’s joke, actor De Niro… chuckled. Indeed, the male actor had a very gentle attitude. However, Jo Koy’s joke was still considered insensitive by the media and the public.

The appearance of female singer Taylor Swift at the awards ceremony is considered a highlight. Swift attended the awards ceremony because the film Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour which she produced was nominated in a new category – Film for cinematic achievement and revenue. Jo Koy made a joke that made Taylor Swift immediately feel “less happy”, she expressed her attitude right in the auditorium and left early.

Specifically, the male MC said: “Do you know what is the difference between the Golden Globe awards ceremony and a match in the American National Football League? That is, at the Golden Globes, the camera has no direction.” There’s not too much about Taylor Swift, I promise, because there are many other things of interest here.”

Jo Koy’s joke not only touched Taylor Swift’s ego but also reminded her of the fact that recently, Taylor Swift often cheers on her boyfriend – rugby player Travis Kelce – every time he goes on the field.

Cameras on the football field were constantly pointed at Taylor Swift, which caused some football fans to complain that Swift’s presence on the field reduced the audience’s concentration on the match.

Some viewers also think that Swift should not cheer for her boyfriend, because when she appears on the field, Travis Kelce’s team usually… loses. Jo Koy’s joke suddenly became sensitive to Swift, evoking unhappy emotions, causing her to immediately reveal an unhappy expression. Immediately after learning that she did not win the award in the nominated category, Swift left.

The humor in the way of hosting, the joking that is enthusiastically received by the artists, the ability to make the audience laugh out loud and give applause are the key points for the MC to lead the awards ceremony. award success in Hollywood. But Jo Koy hasn’t been able to do that this year.

Faced with a wave of criticism, Jo Koy accepted an interview with ABC’s program GMA3: What You Need to Know and frankly expressed her feelings: “I had fun, this is An event that I will always remember. That auditorium was not easy to conquer. That job was very difficult to do. It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t sad. I was sad.

Hosting is a very difficult job. Even though I’m a comedian and MC, hosting the Golden Globe Awards is a different job. My partner and I only had 10 days to prepare the quotes, it was a real crisis. I’m sad, but I still love and am proud of what I’ve done.”

When asked which moment during the awards ceremony made him feel the most regretful, Jo Koy said it was when he made fun of Taylor Swift, but the singer and the audience were not well received.

This year, the number of viewers watching the Golden Globe Awards live via television increased by 50%, reaching an estimated 9.4 million viewers. This is a rare happy signal for the Golden Globes Organizing Committee, because they have struggled a lot in recent years to maintain the award.
