The 80th Golden Globe Awards have taken place at the Beverly Hilton for the first time in two years
Jerrod Carmichael opened this year’s Golden Globe Awards with a string of controversial comments.
“I’ll tell you why I’m here…. I’m here ‘cos I’m black,” he said.
Carmichael was the host of the awards ceremony in which he said he became the “black face of the white embattled organisation”.
He also revealed how much he got paid for the role, which is understood to be $500,000.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has faced controversy in recent years, after questions emerged surrounding the ethics and qualifications of its members.
“This show the Golden Globe Awards did not air last year because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which I won’t say they were a racist organisation, but they didn’t have a single black member until George Floyd died,” Mr Carmichael said.
Who were the big winners?
Some of the best film and television shows of the past year were honoured at the 80th Golden Globes.
Streaming continues to make its mark on the industry, as BINGE series ‘White Lotus’ received the award for Best Limited Series.
Mike White accepted the award for the series, where he thanked his team.
“I would take a bullet for you guys, not in the heart but maybe the foot.”
“I was going to give this speech in Italian but I’m too drunk…there was no food.” he said.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.
A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.
Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.
On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.
Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.
