81st Golden Globes Undergoes Major Changes with New Voting Body and Categories

The awards show, now overseen by Dick Clark Productions, aims for a fresh start following a scandal that led to the dissolution of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

The 81st Golden Globes, set to air on Sunday, January 7, has undergone significant changes, including a new owner, a new network (CBS), a new host (comedian Jo Koy), new voting requirements, and more than triple the number of voting members.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), the previous voting body of the Golden Globes, was dissolved following a scandal over alleged corruption and systemic racism, with the awards now being overseen by Dick Clark Productions.
The 2024 Golden Globes will feature two new awards categories: Cinematic and Box Office Achievement in Motion Pictures, and Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television.
Several nominees have the potential to make history, including Lily Gladstone, who could become the first Indigenous person to win Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama, and Dame Helen Mirren, who could become the oldest woman to ever win Best Drama Series Actress at age 78.
The ceremony will be broadcasted on CBS, with online streaming available on the CBS app and Paramount+.
