Gerard Carmichael Roasts Megan as She is Removed from Golden Globes Guest List

The Golden Globes, one of the most prestigious awards shows in the entertainment industry, will be returning to its traditional Sunday slot next year.

However, there is still uncertainty about which network or streaming platform will broadcast the event.

The 81st annual edition of the Golden Globes is scheduled to take place on Sunday, January 7th, 2024.

This move marks a shift back to the show's long-standing tradition of being held on the first Sunday in January.

The previous ceremony, hosted by Gerard Carmichael, took place on Tuesday, January 10th, 2023, and was aired on NBC.

This change in schedule was due to conflicts with New Year's Day, the last day of the NFL's regular season, and the Critics' Choice Awards.

Despite being a highly anticipated event, the telecast of the 2023 Golden Globes saw a decline in viewership.

The show averaged 6.25 million viewers, a 10% decrease from the previous televised ceremony in 2021.

The pandemic played a significant role in this decline, as the 2021 ceremony was a scaled-down affair.

In an unexpected turn of events, Tim Gray, the former awards editor and senior vice president for Variety, who now holds the position of executive vice president of the Golden Globes, announced that Megan Markle was not invited to the awards.

While some stars are invited to the ceremony even if they don't have a movie being promoted or nominated, Megan and her husband Prince Harry did not fit into any of those categories.

Their absence was seen as a way to avoid any negative attention that their attendance might have generated.

Not only were they not invited to the awards ceremony, but Megan and Harry also did not receive invitations to any of the viewing parties or afterparties associated with the Golden Globes.

This is a significant departure from Megan's previous experiences in Hollywood.

Before marrying Prince Harry in May 2018, she attended star-studded events such as the Golden Globes.

She made a memorable appearance at the 70th annual event in 2013, where she danced the night away at MB's afterparty.

At that time, Megan was invited solely because of her role in the TV series “Suits.”

However, things have changed for Megan since becoming a member of the royal family.

A recent report suggests that she is struggling to find work in Hollywood, despite being back in California with Prince Harry for almost four years now.

The negative press surrounding their marriage and their ongoing feud with the royal family has made it difficult for them to secure any projects.

Losing their contract with Spotify has also contributed to this challenge.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's reputation has taken a hit, and industry insiders are hesitant to collaborate with them.

The constant complaints, glossy Netflix billboards, and attempts to position themselves as the modern-day Princess Diana have not resonated with audiences.

Instead, people perceive them as vindictive and lacking the philanthropic work associated with Diana.

The stark contrast between Diana's iconic images of charity work, such as touching AIDS patients and caring for cancer patients, further highlights this disparity.

As the Golden Globes prepare for their 81st edition, the focus remains on finding the right network or streaming platform to broadcast the prestigious awards show.

While the absence of Megan Markle from the guest list may have generated some controversy, the show must go on, and viewers eagerly await the unveiling of the winners and the memorable moments that will unfold on that Sunday in January.
