Dick Clark Productions (DCP) and Eldridge have acquired all the Golden Globes’ assets, rights and properties from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA). The transaction will result in the wind-down of the HFPA and its membership. The proceeds from the transaction, plus the existing resources of the HFPA, will transition into a newly-formed Golden Globe Foundation that will continue the HFPA’s legacy of entertainment-related charitable giving.
As part of the transaction, DCP and its partners will plan, host and produce the annual Golden Globe Awards show and pursue commercial opportunities for the Golden Globes across the globe. The 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards is set to take place on Sunday, Jan. 7, 2024.
“We are excited to close on this much anticipated, member-approved transaction and transition from a member-led organization to a commercial enterprise,” said former HFPA president Helen Hoehne.
“Today marks a significant milestone in the evolution of the Golden Globes,” Eldgridge chairman Todd Boehly said in a statement. “My partners at DCP and I are grateful to Helen and team for their commitment to the successful implementation of a robust approach to governance, the expansion of the diverse and international voting body, implementing a professional, safe, and accountable environment, and trusting new ownership with a new direction for the Globes.”
“As stewards of the Golden Globe Awards, our mission is to continue creating the most dynamic awards ceremony on live television viewed across the world,” Jay Penske, CEO/chairman/founder of Penske Media and CEO of DCP, said in a statement. “We have a great team in place to grow this iconic brand and captivate new and existing audiences to celebrate the very best in television and motion pictures.”
The Golden Globe Awards will be controlled by DCP, the world’s largest producer and proprietor of televised live event entertainment programming.
A premier entertainment award since 1944, the annual Golden Globes honors achievements in both television and film. Over the last three decades, licensing fees from the ceremony have enabled donations of more than $55 million to entertainment-related charities including scholarship programs, film restoration projects and humanitarian efforts. This funding has also supported diverse programs in partnership with advocacy groups aimed at promoting greater access in Hollywood for underserved communities.
Penske Media Corporation, Billboard‘s parent company, is a part-owner of dick clark productions and has a partnership with Eldridge.

A$AP Rocky and Rihanna are back outside. The couple made a surprise appearance at the 2023 Golden Globe Awards.
As per Buzz Feed News the star duo walked in unexpectedly to the ceremony. They walked in as Jennifer Coolidge presented the award for Best Supporting Actor in a TV series so their entrance left everyone in attendance in awe. As expected the rapper and songstress were dressed to the nines. RiRi wore a dramatic black gown by Schiaparelli Couture and complimented the dress with a white gold and diamond necklace and matching earrings. Pretty Flaco kept it formal with a double breasted black suit and his signature braids were freshly done.
While Rihanna did take home the award for “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever she still owned the room. So much so host Jerrod Carmichael made sure jokingly ask about her very delayed follow up album R8. “You know what? Honestly, only because I see Rihanna is here, and I’m gonna say… I’m gonna say something very controversial that… I will actually get in trouble for this: Rihanna, you take all the time you want on that album, girl. Don’t let these fools on the internet pressure you into nothing!”
You can see their interaction below.

Zendaya won her third major award for her portrayal of drug-addicted teen Rue in the gritty drama Euphoria at Tuesday night’s (Jan. 10) 2023 Golden Globe Awards. But, after previously taking home two primetime Emmys for the role, the 26-year-old star was not in the house in Los Angeles to accept her best performance by an actress in a drama television series at last night’s rebooted event, but she did send her fans a heartfelt acceptance note.
“I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to be there tonight, but I just wanted to say thank you to @goldenglobes for this incredible honor. To my fellow nominees, it is a privilege to be named beside you, I admire you all deeply,” she wrote in an Instagram post alongside a moody black and white pic in which she appeared to be dancing in her room.
She thanked her whole Euphoria family, saying without them “none of this is possible. Lastly, thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has allowed Rue into theirs. I think everyone knows how much she means to me, but the fact that she can mean something to someone else is a gift. I’m honestly at a loss for words as I type this, all I can say is thank you thank you thank you.”
Z’s first Golden Globe for the show she stars in and executive produces came in a very tight race in which she was up against a number of veteran stars, including Laura Linney (Ozark), Hilary Swank (Alaska Daily) and Imelda Staunton (The Crown); Emma D’Arcy (House of the Dragon) was also nominated in that category.
