There were no ceremony's typically boozy fanfare, celebrity spectacle and no broadcast, but the Golden Globes still went ahead this year, albeit in private, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association handed out its annual batch of Golden Globes at a muted presentation one year after the organization was rocked by scandal.

The scaled-down event took place Sunday evening inside Los Angeles' Beverly Hilton hotel, where various HFPA focused on announcing winners in film and TV categories in addition to highlighting the group's philanthropy initiatives. Despite the subdued tone of the event, the Best Drama series champion Succession scored the most wins of any TV show this year, with stars Jeremy Strong and Sarah Snook picking up acting awards atop the show's individual win, while Hacks performer Jean Smart took Best Actress for HBO Max's freshman comedy series (which also won the HFPA's top award for comedy projects).

Among the TV acting winners, Mj Rodriguez made history as the first trans woman to win Best Actress in a Drama for her work on season 3 of FX's Pose.

Steven Spielberg's West Side Story and Jane Campion's The Power of the Dog were the standout champions on the movies side, with the former winning Best Picture (Musical or Comedy), Best Supporting Actress (Ariana DeBose), and Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical (Rachel Zegler), and the latter scoring Best Picture (Drama), Best Supporting Actor (Kodi Smit-McPhee), and Best Director for Campion's work.

Though it was previously announced that no stars would attend the ceremony, Jamie Lee Curtis made a surprise video appearance to "share a message on the importance of the HFPA's philanthropic efforts year round," per an HFPA tweet.

Later, Arnold Schwarzenegger also appeared virtually to reflect on winning the New Star of the Year award at the 1977 ceremony, which helped solidify his place in Hollywood.

Long seen as a key precursor in the run-up to the Oscars, the Globes fell from their pedestal just before the 2021 ceremony, after the Los Angeles Times ran a story highlighting long-speculated issues within the group. The piece revealed the HPFA had no Black members among the group's 87 voters, all of whom were U.S.-based journalists working for international publications at the time.

After multiple celebrities spoke out against the HFPA (with some, like Tom Cruise, even returning their Globe statues in protest), a group of 100 publicity firms banded together to demand "profound and lasting change" from the HFPA, and NBC ultimately nixed the 2022 Golden Globes broadcast from its schedule.

"Any nomination from that organization this year is tainted," a prominent publicity head (who wished to remain anonymous) previously told EW, while another longtime campaign mastermind added, "You focus on laurels that give pedigree and bring attention in a positive way. Given the conversation right now, [the Globes don't] feel positive. [They don't] feel like forward momentum."

Still, this year's list of nominees, which Snoop Dogg announced in December, encompasses most of the usual suspects that have built up a significant profile so far in the hunt for Oscars attention, like Kristen Stewart's leading performance as Lady Diana in Spencer, Kenneth Branagh's semi-autobiographical drama Belfast, Spielberg's ambitious adaptation of West Side Story (and its critically lauded cast), and the aforementioned Power of the Dog, Campion's first feature film in 12 years.
