Parker Receives Lifetime Achievement Award
Sarah Jessica Parker, beloved for her iconic role as Carrie Bradshaw, was recently honored with the Carol Burnett Award at the Golden Globes’ inaugural “Golden Eve” ceremony. The award recognizes individuals whose work has profoundly shaped television, joining previous honorees like Ryan Murphy and Ellen DeGeneres. Parker was introduced by last year’s recipient, Ted Danson, and celebrated on stage by her husband of nearly 30 years, Matthew Broderick.
Onstage, Parker reflected, “I spent 25 years with the most glorious ensemble of women and actors, treating all of New York like CBS Television City and the streets like Studio 33.” Her heartfelt tribute earned waves of praise from fans and colleagues alike.
Co-stars also joined in honoring Parker. Kristin Davis, who played Charlotte, called Parker her “chosen family,” while Cynthia Nixon sent a personal video message. Even Carol Burnett expressed her delight at the selection.
Chris Noth’s Controversial Comment
Despite the celebration, Chris Noth—famous for playing Mr. Big—stirred controversy online. The day after Parker’s award, Noth posted a gym selfie on Instagram with the caption, “F&@k new years – LET’S GO!”
A follower commented, “You mean f*ck SJP & her award right?”
Noth replied with one word: “Right.”
This brief response sent social media into a frenzy. Fans called it “petty,” “bitter,” and dismissive”, interpreting it as a jab at his former co-star. Others debated whether he was trolling or just misinterpreted.
Mixed Reactions From the Public
The timing of the comment fueled speculation. Many remembered Noth’s controversial exit from the Sex and the City universe in 2021, when multiple women accused him of misconduct—allegations he denied. Following the accusations, Noth lost roles, lucrative deals, and public support, including HBO cutting his planned finale cameo in And Just Like That….
By 2022, Parker confirmed she was no longer in contact with Noth. Rumors circulated that he felt “iced out” by his former castmates, which he publicly denied.
Fan and Media Response
Fans quickly expressed their opinions online. Some criticized Noth’s behavior as unnecessary and disrespectful, while others defended him, arguing it was overblown. Media outlets highlighted the contrast between Parker’s heartfelt acceptance speech and Noth’s dismissive engagement.
Golden Globes President Helen Hoehne praised Parker, saying, “Her trailblazing impact on television and her dedication to storytelling across stage and screen have left an indelible mark on popular culture.”
The Legacy of the Moment
While Parker’s honor highlighted decades of groundbreaking work, Noth’s comment reignited questions about their fractured relationship. The former co-stars, once close friends and on-screen lovers, remain publicly distant.
For fans, the incident underscored the tension behind Hollywood’s glittering façade: celebration and controversy often coexist, even at the most prestigious events.
