LOS ANGELES, CA (December 15, 2022) – The Hollywood Foreign Press Association® (HFPA) announced today that five-time Golden Globe® winner and 16-time nominee Ryan Murphy will receive the fourth Carol Burnett Award.

Murphy will accept the honor at the 80th annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony on Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2023 airing live coast-to-coast from 5-8 p.m. PT/8-11 p.m. ET on NBC and streaming on Peacock.

“Ryan Murphy not only continues to enthrall audiences with his work on some of the most thrilling and exciting series of the century, but also continues to inspire all with his work off the screen,” said Helen Hoehne, President of the HFPA. “His work and storytelling ability throughout different film and television genres have led to highly acclaimed achievements and awards.”

With the first Carol Burnett Award granted to its namesake in 2019, the HFPA Board of Directors selects the honoree based on their body of work and the lasting impact that their television career achievements have had on both the industry and audiences. Past recipients of the award include Carol Burnett, Ellen DeGeneres and Norman Lear. This award is seen as the counterpart to the Cecil B. DeMille Award.

The show also made history by featuring the largest transgender series regular cast and the largest LGBTQ cast for a scripted series. “Impeachment,” the third installment of “American Crime Story,” was released in 2021.

On stage, Murphy produced the Tony Award-winning Broadway hit “The Boys in the Band,” starring Jim Parsons, Zachary Quinto and Matt Bomer. In 2020, he produced a film adaptation of the play for Netflix featuring the same cast.

Murphy directed the HBO movie “The Normal Heart,” which received Emmy and Golden Globe awards, including the Emmy for Outstanding Television Movie.
