The entertainment industry is buzzing with anticipation over the 81st Golden Globe Awards, scheduled to take place on Sunday, January 7, 2024. The prestigious award ceremony will see top actors, directors, and musicians. The awards will be held at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, USA. This year’s Golden Globe Awards are special for several reasons such as the addition of new categories, the absence of a few old categories, and new organizers. This is the first time that the Golden Globe Awards will be organized by Dick Clark Productions and Eldridge Industries instead of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA).
Here is everything you need to know about the 81st Golden Globe Awards:
The Host
The award ceremony will be hosted by actor and comedian Jo Koy. The 52-year-old has four comedy specials on Netflix and two on Comedy Central. In 2005, he became one of the select few comedians to get a standing ovation for his stand-up section on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.
Most nominations
The nominations were announced on December 11, 2023. This year the nominee numbers were increased from five to six in 25 categories. Barbie and Succession both have nine nominations, followed by Oppenheimer with eight nominations.
Additions and reductions
This year two new categories: Cinematic and Box Office Achievement and Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television have been introduced. At the same time, two lifetime achievement awards: the Cecil B. DeMille Award and the Carol Burnett Award, will not be presented this year. However, these two awards will return in the future.
Where to watch
The award ceremony will be live broadcast on CBS. Previously the Golden Globe Awards were aired on NBC. For the Indian audience, the event will be broadcast live on Lionsgate Play at 6:30 am on January 8.
The change of ownership
On June 12, 2023, the HFPA announced that the rights and assets of the Golden Globe Awards were bought by Dick Clark Productions and Eldridge Industries for an undisclosed sum. Following this sale, HFPA was dissolved, after 81 years of its existence. HFPA was a nonprofit comprising top professionals in the US entertainment industry. In 2021, the Los Angeles Times investigation revealed that HFPA had no Black members in its ranks. Additionally, some HFPA members were accused of making sexist and racist remarks. Following the backlash from the investigation and the failed attempt to rehash its image, HFPA decided to sell the Golden Globe Awards and dissolve.
In October last year, the Golden Globe Awards voting body was diversified. As per a press release by its new owners, the breakdown of the new voting body comprising 300 members was “47% female, and 60% racially and ethnically diverse, with 26.3% Latinx, 13.3% Asian, 11% Black, 9% Middle Eastern.”
