About Golden Globe Awards
The Golden Globe Awards, often seen as the Oscars’ fun-loving sibling, have long been a highlight of the awards season. Known for its lively atmosphere and irreverent hosts, the Globes focus on the glitzier categories of filmmaking, sparing us lengthy speeches from lesser-known industry figures. The voting body, a small group of about 87 members, has significant influence and has been known to accept lavish gifts from studios.
In some years, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) has been criticized for nominating poorly-reviewed films with big-name stars, like “The Tourist” featuring Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp. However, in recent years, their choices have often aligned with the Oscars.
Despite past controversies, the industry didn’t question the voting process until a recent expose. The show, which also recognizes television, was a key platform for Oscar hopefuls and a ratings hit, drawing nearly 19 million viewers in 2019. However, this year’s NBC broadcast saw its smallest audience ever, with 6.3 million viewers.
What is new about Golden Globe Awards 2024?
The Golden Globe Awards has transformed, now operating as a for-profit organization with a larger and more diverse voting body. Despite past scandals and challenges, the group announced the nominations for its upcoming awards show on Monday. The announcements were made by Cedric the Entertainer and Wilmer Valderrama from the Beverly Hilton Hotel, which is also the venue for the awards ceremony scheduled for January 7.
