Golden Globes Now On CBS, scheduled for Sunday, January 7
In a notable development for the entertainment industry, the longstanding Golden Globes Awards will now be broadcast on CBS, with the scheduled to be announced on December 11th.
This shift follows the acquisition of the awards’ assets, rights, and properties from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) by Dick Clark Productions and Eldridge in June 2023, the change in ownership following controversies surrounding the HFPA. CBS, known for hosting the Grammy and Tony Awards, is set to add the Golden Globes to its roster.
George Cheeks, CBS’ president and CEO, expressed the network’s satisfaction with this addition, citing the long-standing tradition of live entertainment and sports on CBS. “The Globes adds an exciting new dimension to our first quarter schedule this year,” he said in a statement. “The January timing also provides the added benefit of yet another signature platform to promote the return of CBS’ new primetime schedule in February.”
Jay Penske, CEO, chairman, and founder of Penske Media, which acquired the Golden Globes, commended CBS for its commitment to live entertainment programming and its multiplatform distribution model. “We’re so proud to bring the Golden Globes to CBS to celebrate 81 years of award show history.”
The exact amount of the licensing fee for the deal has not been revealed. However, sources with insider knowledge suggest that it is noticeably lower than the $60 million annual payment that NBC used to pay for the show’s broadcast in the past. Despite requests for comments, CBS and Dick Clark’s publicist have declined to provide any information on the matter.
The collaboration between Dick Clark Productions, Eldridge, and CBS brings two new award categories to the Golden Globes: best stand-up comedian on television and cinematic/box office achievement. These additions reflect a broader recognition of excellence across various forms of entertainment, acknowledging the industry’s evolving landscape.
The nominations for the 81st Golden Globe Awards are set to be announced on Monday, December 11th, marking a new chapter for the awards under fresh leadership. After the dissolution of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association amid various controversies, the Golden Globes have pledged to champion cinematic excellence with a stronger emphasis on gender and racial diversity. A notable change this year is the expansion of nomination slots in each category, with six nominees instead of five, except for the newly introduced best cinematic and box office achievement category.
In the drama film category, buzz surrounds high-profile films such as Killers of the Flower Moon, Oppenheimer, and Maestro, directed by Martin Scorsese, Christopher Nolan, and Bradley Cooper, respectively. These filmmakers are expected to go head-to-head for the coveted Best Director award. The category also features poignant films such as Celine Song’s Past Lives and Ava DuVernay’s Origin, exploring themes of lost love and racial relations.
The comedy film category is equally competitive, led by Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster hit Barbie, poised to be a major contender. It faces stiff competition from other strong contenders like The Holdovers, Poor Things, Air, and American Fiction.
The expansion of nomination spots is expected to boost actors vying for recognition. In the lead drama actor category, megastars Bradley Cooper (Maestro), Leonardo DiCaprio (Killer of the Flower Moon), and Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer) will surely conquer a nomination. The comedy actor race features frontrunners Jeffrey Wright (American Fiction) and Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers), alongside by A-listers Nicolas Cage (Dream Scenario) and Matt Damon (Air).
The actress races promise to be equally compelling. Lily Gladstone (Killer of the Flower Moon), Carey Mulligan (Maestro), and Natalie Portman (May December) are among the probable contenders in the lead drama actress category, while Margot Robbie (Barbie) and Emma Stone (Poor Things) are the favorites in the comedy actress race. For lead drama actresses, (Killer of the Flower Moon), Carey Mulligan (Maestro), and Natalie Portman (May December) are likely nominees, while Margot Robbie (Barbie) and Emma Stone (Poor Things) are favorites in the comedy actress category.
In the television sphere, Emmy frontrunners like Succession, Ted Lasso, and Beef are expected to continue their success, with newcomers like Disney’s Ashoka and Apple’s Lessons in Chemistry eyeing breakthroughs. Performances by Rosario Dawson (Ashoka) and Brie Larson (Lessons in Chemistry) are anticipated to receive nominations. The awards will also introduce a stand-up category, potentially featuring Chris Rock, Tom Segura, and Wanda Sykes.
The ceremony, scheduled for Sunday, January 7, will be broadcast on CBS and streamed on Paramount+, available through the CBS app as part of a new broadcast deal.
