Jeremy Allen White has won his second consecutive Golden Globe for the hit FX series “The Bear,” once again landing the honor for best actor in a television series — musical or comedy. White won the Globe last year as well for playing Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, the five-star chef who returns home to Chicago and this season aims to turn his family’s Italian beef restaurant into a high-class dining establishment.
White won the Globe for Season 2 of “The Bear.” The honor comes a week before the 75th Primetime Emmys, where he’s nominated in the comedy lead actor category for Season 1 of “The Bear.” In 2023, besides the Globes, White also won the SAG Award for outstanding performance by a male actor in a comedy series, and he landed the Critics’ Choice award for best actor in a comedy series.
Accepting his award, White thanked the cast and crew of “The Bear,” saying, “I must have done something right in this life to be in your company.”
White faced off against Bill Hader (“Barry”), Steve Martin (“only Murders in the Building”), Jason Segel (“Shrinking”), Martin Short (“only Murders in the Building”) and Jason Sudeikis (“Ted Lasso”) in the category.
Jo Koy hosts this year’s Golden Globes, while White Cherry Entertainment’s Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss — who have helmed some of the biggest events in live TV in recent decades — are producing this year’s ceremony.
The Globes returns this year with new owners at Dick Clark Prods. (PvNew parent company PMC owns Golden Globes producer Dick Clark Prods. in a joint venture with Eldridge.) It’s also the first year for the Globes at a new broadcast home: In a late deal this fall, CBS and Paramount+ struck a pact to run this year’s ceremony Jan. 7 (replacing NBC, which had aired the Globes since 1996).
But perhaps most critically, this year’s show reps the first real test of the newly expanded membership that evolved after the shuttering of the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. — which crumbled after concerns over alleged financial malfeasance and a lack of representation forced a reckoning inside the organization. The new Globes membership is much larger and more diverse. Also new this year are two new categories: Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, as well as an award for stand-up specials.
