New era for Golden Globes
This will be the first time that the Golden Globes have been organised by Dick Clark Productions, after the studio this year acquired all the assets of the Hollywood Foreign Press, the ceremony’s founders and previous show runners. The 2024 Golden Globes will be broadcast live on CBS and the network’s streaming platform, Paramount+, bringing an end to the event’s long-running partnership with NBC.
Also among the changes brought in for the latest instalment of the Golden Globes is the introduction of two new awards categories: Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, and Best Performance in Stand-up Comedy on Television.
The new Golden Globes awards categories: the lowdown
An accolade that raises the Golden Globes’ total of film awards to 15, the prize for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement will be contested by the year’s highest-grossing movies. To be eligible for the award, a picture must finish the qualifying year with total receipts of at least $150 million worldwide, of which at least $100 million must have been earned at US box offices. Eight movies will be nominated.
Meanwhile, the addition of the Golden Globe for the Best Performance in Stand-up Comedy takes the number of TV awards up for grabs at the ceremony up to 12. “Performers are eligible for performances of traditional standup comedy of at least 30 consecutive minutes, other than roles in Television Series, Limited Series, Anthology Series or Motion Pictures Made for Television,” the Golden Globe’s organisers say. There will be six nominees.
