Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck made a low-key entrance as a married couple at the 81st annual Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles. Jennifer, who looked stunning in a pastel pink gown with a sweetheart neckline and floral-inspired sleeves, seemed to walk the red carpet mostly by herself. However, the couple did pause for photographs together before entering the Beverly Hills Hotel. This timing may have been fortunate, considering one of the most talked-about moments from the red carpet was an interview where Jennifer was asked about her certainty that this would be her final marriage. Her response, delivered with a smile, was, “When they say, ‘You know,’ you know.” She further emphasized that every time you enter into something, you do so with the best of intentions, even if you don’t always know the outcome.

J-Lo found herself facing questions about marriage while walking the red carpet, without her partner Ben by her side. Fans took to social media to express their surprise and dissatisfaction with the “awkward” question posed to her. One social media user described the situation as a “mess,” highlighting how the host, Marc, seemed to shame JLo about her previous marriages by asking how she can be certain that her current relationship with Ben will last. The reaction on Twitter was strong, with many labeling the red carpet show as cringe-worthy and garbage. Some found it inappropriate and extremely uncomfortable to inquire about JLo’s confidence in her current marriage while she was there supporting her husband.

The 81st Golden Globe Awards will mark the beginning of the awards season, and it will be broadcasted on CBS. The host for the evening will be the talented 52-year-old comedian Jo Koy. However, despite the excitement surrounding the event, the past few years have seen turmoil behind the scenes. A groundbreaking report in the Los Angeles Times revealed that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, responsible for voting on the awards, had no black members. This led to widespread boycotts and NBC’s decision not to air the awards in 2022. In response, the HFPA made efforts to address the ethical concerns by adding journalists of color to its ranks and implementing other reforms. The show made a comeback in January 2023 under a one-year probationary agreement with NBC, which ultimately chose not to renew the partnership.
In June, billionaire Todd Boehly received approval to dissolve the HFPA and revamp the Golden Globes as a for-profit organization. Boehly’s Eldridge Industries acquired the assets of the HFPA, along with Dick Clark Productions, which is owned by Penske Media. The portfolio of Penske Media includes renowned publications such as Variety, Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, Rolling Stone, and Billboard.
Recently, CBS announced its decision to air the Golden Globe Awards on January 7th, with the ceremony also being streamed on Paramount+. The group responsible for nominating and voting for the awards now consists of over 300 individuals from diverse backgrounds around the world.
