Interesting Fact
This year’s awards include new categories for Best Cinematic and Commercial Achievement – available for films that gross more than $150 million, with at least $100 million of that coming from the U.S. box office, or that have “proportional digital viewership recognized by reputable industry sources,” according to a Hollywood Reporter report – and Best Performance in Television Comedy. Both “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” received nominations in the cinematic achievement category.
Expected nominees Trevor Noah, Chris Rock, and Wanda Sykes all received nominations in the television comedy category, while John Mulaney did not receive a nomination in this category in its inaugural year.
Main Background
The Golden Globes aims to make a strong return with its 2024 ceremony after returning to the air in 2023 following a year-long hiatus. The ceremony has faced several scandals in recent years after facing criticism in 2021 for the lack of Black members in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association – its voting body – and losing its deal with NBC. A report from the Los Angeles Times detailed the membership of the association and questionable financial practices, including smear campaigns and threats from members against journalists seeking to join. The ceremony was not broadcast in 2022 and returned in 2023 through a one-year deal with NBC. Last month, the Golden Globes announced it will now air on CBS. The Golden Globes are also no longer under the oversight of the association, and the awards are now determined by a new group of voters consisting of 300 journalists representing 76 countries, as announced by Helen Hoehne, president of the Golden Globe organization, on Monday morning.
What to Watch For
The 2024 Golden Globe Awards will take place on Sunday, January 7, from 8 PM to 11 PM Eastern Time on CBS and Paramount+. The host has not yet been announced.
