Ricky Gervais blasts critics of Golden Globes monologue after media slam his anti-Hollywood jokes
Gervais trashed after calling out Hollywood hypocrisy; reaction on 'The Five.'
Hollywood will start out the 2023 awards season with the 80th Golden Globes on Tuesday.
The star-studded event is returning for the first time since 2021 after a controversy involving the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA).
At the time, the HFPA came under fire after a Los Angeles Times investigation revealed ethical lapses and a stunning lack of diversity — there was not a single Black journalist in the 87-person group. Studios and PR firms threatened to boycott. Tom Cruise even returned his three Golden Globes, while other A-listers condemned the group on social media.
Since being engulfed by backlash, the group reformed, reorganized and are set to air its first live broadcast since the controversy. The group has added a chief diversity officer; overhauled its board; inducted 21 new members, including six Black journalists; brought in the NAACP on a five-year partnership; and updated its code of conduct.

Here's what to know about the award show:
How can I watch?
The Golden Globes will air on NBC and stream on Peacock Tuesday evening at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET.
Last year, awards were announced without any stars present and no broadcasted ceremony.
Who is hosting?
Comedian Jerrod Carmichael, who is known for the 2014 movie "Neighbors," the NBC series "The Carmichael Show" and his HBO stand-up special "Rothaniel," will be hosting for the first time this year.

"We’re so excited to have Jerrod Carmichael host the historic 80th Golden Globe Awards," Helen Hoehne, president of the HFPA, said in a statement late last year.
"His comedic talents have entertained and thrilled audiences while providing thought-provoking moments that are so important in the times we live. Jerrod is the special kind of talent this show calls for to kick off the awards season."

The show's last broadcast saw Ricky Gervais, who hosted the show five times, at the helm. Gervais has said he does not plan on taking the gig again.
"F--- that," he tweeted in October when a fan suggested he should take the mic again.
