The annual awards show, set for January 7, remains without a broadcast partner.
Now the Golden Globes is attempting to do the same with a new category: cinematic and box office achievement in motion pictures, which will include “nominees from among the year’s highest-earning and/or most viewed films that have gained extensive global audience support and produced exceptional creative content,” according to Tuesday’s announcement.
The awards show, set for January 7, 2024, will also feature another new category, best stand-up comedian on television, which “recognizes outstanding work by a comedic performer.” There will be six nominees in this category, selected for their televised stand-up specials. “The Golden Globes has a rich history of supporting and celebrating the work of comedians, and we’re thrilled to honor their brilliance alongside outstanding motion picture and television performances of the year,” saidGolden Globes president. “Additionally, we are proud to recognize the hard work and innovation that goes into making a film that is both a blockbuster and artistically exceptional.”
The eligibility criteria for the box-office-achievement category requires a total box office gross of $150 million or more, of which $100 million must come from the US domestic box office. But fear not: Streaming films can also compete by amassing a “commensurate digital streaming viewership recognized by trusted industry sources.
The new categories are just the latest step on a long road of renovation for the annual awards event, once considered a major stop of the awards-campaign season. In early 2023, Penske Media Corporation—which owns entertainment news outletsDick Clark Productions, which puts on the annual Golden Globe Awards, in a partnership with Eldridge Industries.
