THE GOLDEN GLOBES SHED THEIR SKIN…
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association‘s presentation of the 80th Golden Globe Awards last year was their final year hosting the awards ceremony. The HFPA was replaced following the acquisition of all the HFPA’s assets, rights and properties by Dick Clark Productions and Eldridge Industries. Dick Clark Productions now owns and produces the Golden Globe Awards, and will present the 81st Golden Globe Awards. With the Globes no longer being overseen by the HFPA, a new, racially and ethnically diverse group of voters — made up of 300 journalists from around the world, representing 76 countries — is selecting this year’s nominees and winners.
A NEW GOLDEN HOME…
The 81st Golden Globe Awards will air live from the Beverly Hilton on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on Sunday, Jan. 7, 2024, at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET. The host for the awards will be comedian Jo Koy, and Emmy-winning producers Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner are set to serve as showrunners, with Weiss set to direct.
THE GOLDEN RACE FOR THE GLOBE…
As expected in the early predictions for the 2024 awards season, the Golden Globe Awards honors achievements in both Film and Television, the usually predicted frontrunners are leading the race, with Barbie and Succession leading in their nominations respective categories for the 81st Golden Globe Awards with nine nominations.
THE RACE RUNDOWN…
On the film side of the nominations, Oppenheimer came in next, with eight nominations, followed by Killers of the Flower Moon and Poor Things with seven each. Netflix led all of this years nominated film distributors with 13 total nominations, followed by Warner Bros. Pictures with 12 nominations. In the TV category side, The Bear and Only Murders in the Building came next, with five nominations each, and The Crown, with four nominations. HBO/Max led all of this years nominated TV distributors with 17 total nominations, followed by Netflix with 15 nominations.
THE SNUBS AND SURPRISES…
As usual with all awards shows and the usual prediction beast, there are the snubs and surprises of the nominations and the Golden Globes weren’t without their own list for this year. A number of films that were expected to land nominations were snubbed including Ferrari, and Napoleon while nods for Bruce Springsteen, and Taylor Swift surprised with nominations in newly created categories for 2024.
THE GOLDEN STARTING GATE…
Cedric the Entertainer and Wilmer Valderrama announced the nominees across multiple film and TV categories, including the new awards categories mentioned above that recognize stand-up comedy and cinematic and box office achievement, live from the Beverly Hilton. The award for best cinematic and box office achievement includes eight nominees chosen from films that achieved “a box office receipt total/gross of $150 million, of which $100 million must come from the U.S. domestic box office, and/or obtain commensurate digital streaming viewership recognized by trusted industry sources,” the Globes said in announcing the category this fall. Films released after Nov. 22 through the end of the year “may qualify based on projected box office performance and/or digital streaming views from trusted industry sources.” Golden Globes voters will then determine the nominees and winners in this category “based on excellence” from among the films that meet the box office and streaming viewership criteria. The second new category is for best performance in stand-up comedy on television, which will feature six nominated comedians who gave “traditional stand-up comedy performances of at least 30 minutes, other than roles in television series, limited series, anthology series or motion pictures made for television” on “a recognized media platform (individual social media accounts do not qualify).”
