It had looked as if the 81st Golden Globes would not be televised this year, after organisers struggled to find a broadcast partner following recent controversies.
But producers recently struck a deal with US network CBS, which also broadcasts the Grammy Awards, and the ceremony will also stream on Paramount+.
The organisation which was behind the Golden Globes, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), attracted controversy in recent years due to allegations of corruption and a lack of diversity within its membership.
The group introduced changes as a result, announcing in October their membership had increased from around 90 to 300 and was now significantly more diverse.
It has not yet been announced who will present the 2024 Globes, but the ceremony has a history of hiring acerbic hosts who make cutting jokes at the expense of the A-list nominees in attendance – much to the delight of audiences at home.
Previous Globe hosts have included Ricky Gervais, Jerrod Carmichael, Seth Myers, and Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
The Golden Globes are traditionally a more light-hearted event than many of the other ceremonies in film awards season.
Taking place in the first week of January, celebrity guests are usually in a good mood, fresh from their Christmas break.
In contrast, the Bafta Film Awards and the Oscars are much more formal events – and the prizes more prestigious.
But a win at the Golden Globes can add significant momentum to an awards campaign, with the recipients given the opportunity to deliver a rousing acceptance speech on TV at a time when Oscar voters are considering their own nominations.
There is a much higher chance of a Golden Globe nomination than an Oscar nod – the Globes split their film and lead acting categories into drama and musical or comedy, with six slots available in each instead of the Academy’s five.
It’s not just films which are recognised at the Globes, however – the ceremony also has categories which recognise the most popular and acclaimed TV shows of the last year.
