Will Sunday’s Golden Globes be a big night for Jason Sudeikis, Barbie and Taylor Swift?
With the third and final season of “Ted Lasso” comes the final spate of award shows for the TV series created by Kansas City’s own Jason Sudeikis.
That starts Jan. 7 with the once-embattled Golden Globes, where the series is up for best TV comedy, actor (Sudeikis) and supporting actress (Hannah Waddingham, who joined Sudeikis in Kansas City at last fall’s Thundergong fundraiser).
Then on Jan. 15 comes the Emmy Awards, delayed a few months because of the strikes in Hollywood. “Ted Lasso” was tops among comedies with 21 nominations, with nods for the series and Sudeikis. Screen Actors Guild Award nominations will be announced Jan. 10, with the ceremony Feb. 24.
The 81st annual Golden Globes air at 7 p.m. on CBS and also stream on Paramount Plus. The host will be superstar comedian Jo Koy (who is coming to The Midland in Kansas City on March 14).
Nominations were led by “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” in film, with nine and eight nods respectively, with “Killers of the Flower Moon” and “Poor Things” following close behind. “Succession” dominated television. Netflix led film distributors with 13 nominations, and Max led TV with 17.
The ceremony will introduce two new awards: best stand-up comedian on television, and cinematic and box-office achievement. The latter award recalls the attempt several years ago to attract new viewers to the Academy Awards with a category for the “best popular film,” an idea that was nixed after backlash from those who argued it watered down the artistic prestige of winning an Oscar. That new category includes one star who suddenly has strong Kansas City ties: “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” is one of the eight nominees.
The Globes have long been regarded as Hollywood’s “best party of the year.” But last year marked the show’s grand return to broadcast television after controversy over racial inequity and questionable journalistic practices within the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. NBC decided against airing the 2022 ceremony (which still took place but was attended only by select HFPA members and grant recipients). This year, the HFPA dissolved and transferred control of the awards to Dick Clark Productions.
Koy, who is no stranger to walking a tight-rope onstage and bringing a warm brand of humor and relatability to uncomfortable situations, says he’s ready for the gig.
“I’ve stepped onto a lot of stages around the world in my career, but this one is going to be extra special. I’m so excited to be hosting the Golden Globes this year,” said Koy. “This is that moment where I get to make my Filipino family proud. Mahal Kita [Google it]!”
