THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME…

The 81st Golden Globes were handed out Sunday night, with Oppenheimer, Barbie, Poor Things and Anatomy of a Fall among the films winning multiple awards. In the past the Golden Globes have been a handicap when it comes to gambling on awards season, you could predict the awards season winners for various other award presentations held over the awards months and voting habits of the boards that sponsor them. With the new changes to the Golden Globes this year, including an overhaul on the voting body, it would be a pretty good bet that four movies will go on to win multiple awards at different events this awards season.

NEW INCENTIVES…

In 2024, Golden Globes were handed out in new categories for stand-up comedy and cinematic and box office achievement. Barbie won the award for best cinematic and box office achievement, whose category included 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.

The award for best performance in stand-up comedy on television featured 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).” Past Globes host Gervais took that award for Ricky Gervais: Armageddon.

NEW PLACE TO CALL HOME…

In November, the Globes contracted a new broadcast deal with CBS after the awards group ended its longtime relationship with NBC, which aired the 2023 Golden Globes, earlier this year. Jo Koy hosted the ceremony, which aired live on CBS from the Beverly Hilton and streamed on Paramount+.
