This year marks the 80th edition of the Golden Globes 2023. The popular award show laid low for a year following a scandal where racial-exclusion within the Hollywood Foreign Press Association was brought to light.

While fans were excited and cheered on most of the wins, they were clearly upset when Margot Robbie didn't bag the award she was nominated for i.e. Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy. The actress bagged the nomination for her film Babylon.
The other nominees were Lesley Manville for Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris, Anya Taylor-Joy for The Menu, Emma Thompson for Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, and Michelle Yeoh for Everything Everywhere All at Once.
Ultimately, the award was bagged by Michelle Yeoh for Everything Everywhere All at Once. Fans who witnessed Michelle win over Margot took to social media to claim that the actress was robbed of her win.

Taking to Twitter, fans claimed that Margot was robbed of her win at the Golden Globe Awards 2023. Many added that the decision was "absolutely insane" given the actress' impressive performance in Babylon.

Here's what Michelle Yeoh said during her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes 2023
During her acceptance speech, Michelle opened up about her journey to Hollywood. She said:
"I remember when I first came to Hollywood, it was a dream come true until I came here ... Someone said to me: 'You speak English?' And then I said: 'Yeah, the flight here was about 13 hours long, so I learned."
She continued,
"As time went by -- I turned 60 last year -- and I think all of you women understand this, as the days, years, numbers get bigger, the opportunities get smaller, as well. Then along came the best gift: 'Everything, Everywhere All at Once."
In her speech, she also thanked writer-director duo Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, adding:
"(They) had the courage to write about a very ordinary immigrant. This movie for me was such an homage to so many women like that around us who are sometimes invisible, who we take for granted. There's so many relatable things, and all because they were chasing the American dream."
The Golden Globes 2023 was aired live only on NBC.
