    A Slew of LGBTQ+ 2023 Golden Globe Nominees

    Golden Globes

    The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the organization that hands out the Golden Globes, is looking to make a comeback this year following criticism over a lack of diversity.

    The ceremony was dropped by NBC in 2022, but it returns this year to the small screen with substantial queer representation. Out comedian Jerrod Carmichael will host the event, which will feature queer nominees such as Aubrey Plaza for her work in The White Lotus, Jeremy Pope for The Inspection, and Hannah Einbinder for Hacks.

    And as if things couldn’t get gayer, Ryan Murphy will be celebrated with the association’s lifetime achievement award.

    Here are the queer and queer-adjacent nominees for this year’s Golden Globe Awards, which will air Tuesday night.

    Jerrod Carmichael

    Gay television writer and producer Ryan Murphy, who co-created Glee and Pose as well as the American Horror Story franchise, will be honored with a lifetime achievement award.

    LGBTQ+ subject matter is front and center in this year’s ceremony. “This year does definitely feel like a full-on celebration of queer talent. It sort of makes you feel like we’re everywhere — and the Golden Globes are right to have noticed that,” James Kleinman, founder and editor of The Queer Review, which reviews LGBTQ+ shows and movies, told NBC.
