Golden Globes to return to NBC in 2023

It's being held on a Tuesday night because NBC will be tied up with NFL the first four Sunday nights of January (the final two regular season Sunday-night games January 1st and 8th; a Sunday-night NFL wildcard game on January 15th, and a Sunday-night NFL divisional playoff/conference semifinal game on January 22nd).

And on Sunday night, January 29th, either CBS or Fox will carry an NFL conference championship game that will begin at 6:45 PM. EST, which will be in prime time in most of the Eastern part of the country. NBC probably wouldn't want the Golden Globes to go head-to-head against what would likely be the second most watched TV event of the year (behind only the Super Bowl itself).

The first three Saturday nights in January would also be out as far as a date for the Golden Globes due again to NFL games.
 
I seem to recall that in the late 1960's, there were concerns about improprieties in the awards show, and again in the early 1980's the credibility of the Golden Globes took a big hit (I think it had something to weigh skulduggery concerning Bo Derek getting a Golden Globe nomination many though she didn't deserve).

But in recent years, the Globes had regained credibility to such a point that their film awards were considered a pretty accurate barometer of the upcoming Academy (Oscars) Awards while the TV awards were considered a likewise accurate prediction of the Primetime Emmy Awards.

Another scandal, this one about diversity, hit the awards in 2021, and as a result, there was no telecast of the 2022 ceremony. The organizers (the Hollywood Foreign Press Association) had taken steps to diversify it's membership, which has prompted NBC to resume broadcasting the ceremony after a year's hiatus.
