The 81st Golden Globe Awards will be the first major broadcast of awards season, with a new home on CBS.
And while to audiences it might look similar on the surface, it’s been tumultuous few years behind the scenes following a bombshell report in the Los Angeles Times.
The 2021 report found that there were no black members in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which votes on the awards.
Stars and studios boycotted the Globes and NBC refused to air it in 2022 as a result.
After the group added journalists of color to its ranks and instituted other reforms to address ethical concerns, the show came back in January 2023 in a one-year probationary agreement with NBC. The network did not opt to renew.
In June, billionaire Todd Boehly was granted approval to dissolve the HFPA and reinvent the Golden Globes as a for-profit organization.
Its assets were acquired by Boehly’s Eldridge Industries, along with Dick Clark Productions, a group that is owned by Penske Media whose assets also include Variety, Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, Rolling Stone and Billboard.
The group nominating and voting for the awards is now made up of a more diverse group of over 300 people from around the world.
In mid-November, CBS announced that it would air the ceremony on the network on Jan. 7. It will also stream on Paramount+.
January’s Golden Globes were slammed as ‘boring’ and ‘politicized’ as viewers turned off following the ceremony’s return to TV.
The event’s return to air was the hope of a fresh start for the embattled Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HPFA) – which puts on the Globes – after it overhauled its organization following a racism row.
However, many viewers were quick to label the ceremony as a ‘snoozefest’ as they flocked to social media to lament over changes to the show.
The 81st Golden Globe Awards will take place January 7, 2024
