The Fabelmans, Abbott Elementary among big winners at 2023 Golden Globes

By

Hollywood’s biggest stars were on hand for the 80th Golden Globes, which saw The Fabelmans and The Banshees of Inisherin take home the top prizes in film, and House of the Dragon, Abbott Elementary and The White Lotus reigned supreme in television. Hosted by Jerrod Carmichael, the ceremony aired on NBC for the first time since 2021.

Steven Spielberg was one of the biggest winners of the night, winning Best Director and Best Motion Picture – Drama for his semi-autobiographical passion project, The Fabelmans. Martin McDonagh matched Spielberg with two wins, Best Screenplay and Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, for The Banshees of Inisherin. McDonagh’s star in Banshees, Colin Farrell, took home Best Actor – Musical or Comedy while Austin Butler won Best Actor – Drama for his turn as Elvis Presley in Elvis.

Our 2023 Golden Globes predictions
Paul Dano and Michelle Williams watch The Greatest Show on Earth.

The Hollywood Foreign Press is at a strange time. Infamous for being the Oscars' more chaotic and embarrassing younger sibling, the HFPA has faced a myriad of controversies throughout its 80-year-old history. From ethical dilemmas, bribery scandals, accusations of lack of Black representation in its voting body, and sexual harassment claims, the HFPA is no stranger to scandal.

But 2021 was a year of reckoning for the HFPA, and the Golden Globes suffered because of it. After much uncertainty regarding the 2023 Golden Globes, NBC announced it would indeed air them again. The Golden Globes will likely play a role in this year's Oscar race and will lay a path for some of the season's strongest contenders. But who will win? Who will go empty-handed? We break it all down for you with our predictions and slightly cranky commentary.

Stranger Things’ Maya Hawke joins the next Hunger Games movie
Maya Hawke in Stranger Things.

Netflix's Stranger Things may be coming to an end this year, but Maya Hawke has already lined up her next franchise. The actress has been cast in a supporting role in the next Hunger Game movie, Sunrise on the Reaping.

Via Entertainment Weekly, Hawke will portray Wiress, the winner of the 49th Hunger Games who was previously portrayed by Amanda Plummer in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Sunrise on the Reaping takes place two decades prior to the films starring Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen. In the new film, Wiress is the mentor for District 12's tributes, including Haymitch Abernathy, the character played by Woody Harrelson in the original movies. Joseph Zada has already been cast as young Haymitch.

Game of Thrones prequel A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms pushed back to 2026
A knight holds his sword as he walks down the street.

One of the ideas behind running two different Game of Thrones prequels at once was to keep the franchise alive on HBO and Max during the long breaks between seasons. However, the next prequel series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, will now be skipping 2025 altogether. And that may mean both House of the Dragon season 3 and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms could come out in the same year.

Via Variety, HBO confirmed the delay when it screened a trailer for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms during its upfront presentation. The trailer ended with a vague 2026 release window, but HBO CEO Casey Bloys suggested that it would be released in winter 2026. That would have it premiere on HBO and Max in either January or February 2026. HBO hasn't announced when House of the Dragon will return. But if season 3 doesn't premiere in 2026, then pushing it back to 2027 would mean a nearly three-year gap between seasons. House of the Dragon season 3 is currently in production.
