We begged Steve Harvey to host.
Jimmy Kimmel is returning to host the 95th Academy Awards on Sunday, March 12th. But they are still making him beg for the gig.
In this brilliant Top Gun parody, Cyclone and Warlock (aka Jon Hamm and Charles Parnell) grill the already two-time host for the job. They run down a laundry list of other celebrities who were invited to host, but said no. “Steve Marin, Steve Carell, Steve Buscemi, Steve Austin, Steve from Blues Clues, Steve Segal, Steve Urkel… that’s just the Steves.”
The officers claim that they settled on Kimmel because he is fit the parameters. Specifically, he is “unflappable and unslappable.”
We won’t reveal the celebrity who makes a ‘Marvelous’ cameo, you’ll have to watch.
Here’s a look at the 2023 Award Season winners so far:
Golden Globes 2023 Winner's List
The 2023 Golden Globe Awards takes place live on NBC and Peacock Tuesday (January 10) night at 8 p.m. ET. It is one of the few awards ceremonies to recognize both motion picture and television achievements. As we’ve previously reported, NBC canceled the 2022 telecast amid an ethics, finance and diversity scandal involving the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the organization that bestows the awards. Citing extensive HFPA reforms in September, NBC agreed to return the ceremony to its air for an 80th installment — under a one-year trial, the New York Times reports.
“We recognize the HFPA’s commitment to ongoing change and look forward to welcoming back the Golden Globes to NBC for its landmark 80th Anniversary in January 2023,” said Frances Berwick, Chairman, Entertainment Networks, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. Helen Hoehne, President of the HFPA added, “The HFPA remains committed to important changes and supporting programs that prioritize diversity, inclusion, and transparency.”
The HFPA previously announced the introduction of 103 new voters to its ranks, marking the first time international-based voters have been added to the voting pool. This diverse voting body is now represented by 62 different countries around the world. Combined with the current HFPA membership, the total Golden Globe Awards voting body is now 52% female, 51.5% racially and ethnically diverse, with 19.5% Latinx, 12% Asian, 10% Black and 10% Middle Eastern.
Eddie Murphy has been confirmed to receive one of the night’s highest honors, the Cecil B. DeMille Award, given as a way to honor “outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment,” per the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The selection is made by the HFPA’s board of directors. Murphy, 61, is a six-time Golden Globe nominee, winning one trophy in 2007 for his critically acclaimed role in Dreamgirls. He was nomimated for 48 Hrs., Trading Places, Beverly Hills Cop, The Nutty Professor and Dolemite Is My Name. Presenters include Jenna Ortega, Jennifer Hudson, Claire Danes, Cole Hauser, Harvey Guillén, Henry Golding, Hilary Swank, Glen Powell, Jay Ellis, Jennifer Coolidge, Letitia Wright, Mo Brings Plenty, Regina Hall, Salma Hayek Pinault, Billy Porter, Niecy Nash-Betts, Quentin Tarantino, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tracy Morgan, Ana De Armas, Ana Gasteyer, Colman Domingo, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Natasha Lyonne and Nicole Byer. Jerrod Carmichael is hosting the ceremony.
