The Golden Globes made a series of major announcements on Thursday (Aug. 31). They announced all the key dates for the 2024 Golden Globe Awards; named eight of the nine members of their newly-formed membership board of directors; and committed to revealing the full list of the new voting body and distribution partner by Oct. 2.
Nominations are set to be announced on Monday, Dec. 11. The awards will take place on Sunday, January 7, 2024. No host has been announced. Comedian Jerrod Carmichael hosted the 2023 show, which was held at the Globes’ usual venue, The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif., and carried on NBC.
The membership board of directors is responsible for selecting, ratifying and accrediting journalists as voting members for the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards. Five of the nine members are appointed independent entertainment or media professionals. The four others are elected from within the Golden Globe Association membership. The board is helmed by long-time Golden Globes president Helen Hoehne.
“We are proud of how the Golden Globes has evolved over the past two years and where the organization is headed,” Hoehne said in a statement. “With its unique international footprint and global perspective on the entertainment world, this esteemed and trusted board truly sets the Golden Globes apart as an organization intent on recognizing achievements in film and television with superior credibility and integrity.”
Tim Gray, former awards editor and senior vice president for Variety, joins the board and the Golden Globes organization as executive vice president, effective immediately.
“I spent 42 years of my life at Variety, so it would take a special job opportunity to get me to leave. This is definitely it,” said Gray. “Major changes are already underway at the Golden Globes and I think people in Hollywood, and around the world, will be pleased when they see integrity restored while the sense of fun remains. I’m impressed with each person on the board – their experience, reputation, and their high standards.”
Dick Clark Productions (DCP) and its partners will plan, host and produce the annual Golden Globe Awards, which are one of the few awards ceremonies to include achievements in both motion pictures and television. The awards date to 1944.
DCP and Eldridge acquired all the Golden Globes’ assets, rights, and properties from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) on June 12. The transaction resulted in the wind-down of the HFPA and its membership. The proceeds from the transaction, plus the existing resources of the HFPA, transitioned into a newly formed Golden Globe Foundation which continues the legacy of the HFPA’s history of entertainment-related charitable giving.
Over the last three decades, the licensing fees from the Golden Globe Awards 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.
This year, Ernst & Young LLP marks its 51st consecutive year overseeing the voting, balloting and tabulation process for the Golden Globes.

Penske Media Corporation, Billboard‘s parent company, is a part-owner of dick clark productions and has a partnership with Eldridge.
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.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) has more than doubled the number of international voters in its voting body for the 2024 Golden Globe Awards. There are now 215 international voters – 87 returning voters from last year plus 128 who were just admitted. Added to the current 95 members (which the HFPA tallies separately from international voters), there are now 310 total voters, fulfilling the organization’s pledge to increase the size and diversity of the voting body.
The new breakdown is 42% white, 25% Latinx, 14% Asian, 10% Black and 9% Middle Eastern. At least 17% of the voting body self-identifies as LGBTQ+.
“We have exceeded our goal of reaching 300 voters for the upcoming 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards thanks to an extensive global recruitment effort,” Helen Hoehne, president of the HFPA, said in a statement. “We are excited at the unprecedented achievement in building a truly global voting body where 58% self-identify as ethnically diverse.”
“The efforts put forth to identify, engage, and actively recruit diverse voters is strong evidence of the commitment by the Golden Globes to follow through on its promises to expand and reshape itself,” said Neil Phillips, HFPA chief diversity officer. “It shows that with the right leadership, effective community partnerships and an unwavering focus, we can achieve remarkable and transformational diversity growth.”
For the 80th Annual Golden Globe Awards in January, which drew such stars as Selena Gomez and Austin Butler, the voting body consisted of 200 voters. Of that total, 52% self-identified as ethnically diverse.
For the upcoming 81st Awards, the increase in diversity is also accompanied by an increase in the number of new countries represented. The voting body now represents a total of 76 countries, including international voters from newly added countries such as Cameroon, Costa Rica, Cuba, Guatemala, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Serbia and Tanzania.
The criteria for international voters include residing outside of the U.S. and possessing verified entertainment journalistic clippings for international media outlets including print, broadcast, radio, photography and online. These applications were reviewed and qualified by the credentials committee, which is composed of a majority of outside independent journalism and entertainment industry professionals.
International voters will be subject to a Golden Globe Awards code of conduct. Biographies, photos and listings of outlets will be updated soon on the Golden Globes website.
A spokesman notes that there is a separate application period for membership (as distinct from international voters) but that is not until this summer.
The 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards will take place on Sunday, Jan. 7, 2024. This will put the show back on Sunday night, where it aired each year from 2009 through 2021. The show, under a cloud because of diversity issues and ethical concerns, wasn’t broadcast in 2022. NBC broadcast it on Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2023, with comedian Jerrod Carmichael hosting. The broadcaster for the 2024 show hasn’t been announced.
At the Globes in January, The Fabelmans won best motion picture, drama, while The Banshees of Inisherin won best motion picture, musical or comedy. Neither of those films went on to win the Academy Award for best picture, which went to Everything Everywhere All at Once.
The date for the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards is confirmed for Sunday, Jan. 7, 2024. This puts the show back in its traditional time slot – the first Sunday in January – after the 2023 show aired on Tuesday Jan. 10.
The show has long kicked off the entertainment industry’s awards season. Produced by dick clark productions (dcp), the Golden Globe Awards is one of the few awards ceremonies to honor recipients in both motion picture and television.
The 80th Annual Golden Globe Awards were held on Tuesday (Jan. 10) at its long-time home, the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. Jerrod Carmichael served as host. Abbott Elementary and The Banshees of Inisherin were the night’s top winners, with three awards each. The show resulted in more than 24.2 billion impressions on social media platforms worldwide.
Rihanna, A$AP Rocky and Selena Gomez were among the music stars to attend the 2023 Golden Globes. Rihanna’s song “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was nominated for best original song in a motion picture. Gomez was nominated for best actress in a TV series comedy or musical for the hit Hulu comedy series Only Murders in the Building.
Numerous stars attended the 2023 Golden Globes afterparty powered by Billboard. Among them: Jennifer Coolidge, Mike White, Heidi Klum, Tom Kaulitz (of Tokio Hotel), Ke Huy Quan, Justin Hurwitz, M.M. Keeravani, Quinta Brunson, Jenna Ortega, Percy Hynes White, Tyler James Williams, Janelle James, Bob Odenkirk, Regina Hall, Salma Hayek, Adam Scott and Michaela Jaé Rodriguez.
Proceeds from the annual Golden Globes broadcast provide funding for its philanthropy and charitable giving programs. In 2022, more than $4.5 million dollars was awarded to 93 programs and organizations.
Some winners at the 2023 Golden Globe Awards Tuesday (Jan. 10) weren’t too pleased when it sounded like live pianist Chloe Flower playing to urge them to wrap up their acceptance speeches. Neither was the internet.
Since the event, though, Flower has cleared the air with folks such as Michelle Yeoh and Austin Butler, both of whom made digs at the play-off music during their time onstage. And now, she wants to set the record straight for everyone else: It wasn’t her who was playing the piano in the middle of winners’ speeches — it was a pre-recorded track.
“I was hired to play piano when we come back from commercial break and re-enter the program,” she told People in a story published Thursday (Jan. 12). “It’s called a rejoin. That was the only time I was ever supposed to play, and that’s the only time I played. I think that all of the winners and celebrities who were being cut off didn’t … all of a sudden, I became the face of the playoff music.”
“I was kind of sad,” she continued. “I mean, you saw it. They cut to me. I’m not an actress. I was sad that everyone thought that I would be that disrespectful. I would never do that as a live musician.”
Flower caught a lot of flack on social media during the course of the show from upset viewers who assumed it was her piano-playing that was interrupting the stars’ big moments. An insta-viral clip of Yeoh looking off stage, presumably at Flower — who was sitting at the piano but not playing — “Shut up, please … I can beat you up, OK? And that’s serious,” while accepting the award for best actress in a musical or comedy didn’t help the misunderstanding.
Butler, accepting best actor in a motion picture, drama for his title role in Elvis, quipped: “You could at least play ‘Suspicious Minds’ or something.” And Farrell, who won best actor in a motion picture, musical or comedy said, “You can forget that piano.”
Though viewers may have missed it as many in the crowd were talking over him in the moment, host Jerrod Carmichael set the record straight on camera before the show had even ended — something Flower said made her cry because she felt “protected.”
“Look, this show here is not easy,” Carmichael said during the ceremony. “We are very lucky to have tonight, someone who is an incredible, incredible pianist. People on Twitter are like, ‘Man, she’s playing people off.’ It’s actually a track.”
According to Flower, she was able to explain what had really happened to Yeoh before the night was over. “She walked past the piano, and I stopped her and I was like, ‘I would never play during your speech,” she recalled. “I respect you, and I am a huge fan,’ and she held my hand. She was so lovely, and she was so nice.”
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Flower shared that she also got the chance to clear the air with Butler. “I definitely reached out to him and I said, ‘I was not playing during your play-off,’” she said. “He was like, ‘Really?’ He’s like, ‘Sorry. Thank you.’”
“They’re all artists, and I think they just want their moments to say thank you, and they don’t want to be cut off,” she added. “I think in the moment, they’re not really thinking about me. They’re not thinking about the producers, they’re just thinking about, ‘Why is someone cutting me off?’ I didn’t feel like it was necessarily directed at me, if that makes sense, even though it was at me.”
No, Donald Glover has not retired his beloved musical alter ego, Childish Gambino.
The 39-year-old Atlanta actor joined Laverne Cox for E! News on the Golden Globes red carpet on Tuesday (Jan. 10), where he revealed that music is on its way. “I’m making music right now. I love it,” he shared. “I’m in the studio, bringing people in, secret people, working on little things. I’ve just been making it for fun right now but soon something will happen, I promise.”
“I thought I heard you were retiring Childish Gambino,” Cox said, before Glover replied, “No, that was out in the ether. You don’t have to worry about that. He will be back.”

The star, who was nominated for best actor in a musical/comedy series, also chatted with Billboard at the official Golden Globes afterparty, where he revealed his plans for 2023. “I cannot wait for this year,” he shared. “I think this year is the year of positivity. I think people are actually going to be — and I don’t mean, like, bulls— YouTube inspirational videos. I mean actual happiness.”
Glover’s last release as Childish Gambino was his fourth studio album, 3.15.20, which arrived back in March 2020. Watch Billboard‘s full interview below.

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!”

She revealed that she hasn’t yet started shooting with Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo — who play Glinda the Good Witch and Elphaba the Wicked Witch of the West, respectively. “Those two are so adorable, so gorgeous, so talented,” Yeoh added. “I’m so blessed that I’m going to be one of them and I’m really looking forward to it.”
The Everything Everywhere All at Once star also shared that she recently watched the Wicked Broadway musical last weekend while in New York City. “I loved it, and then I go, ‘Oh my God, Madame Morrible sings a lot.’”
When asked if she sings a lot, Yeoh replied with a laugh, “No, only in the bathroom.”
Yeoh won her first Golden Globe at Tuesday night’s (Jan. 10) ceremony, taking home the trophy for best actress in a motion picture, musical or comedy for her role as laundromat owner Evelyn Wang in A24’s Everything Everywhere All at Once.
“I’m just going to stand here and take this all in,” she said during her acceptance speech, clutching the gold statue. “40 years… I’m not letting go of this.”
“Thank you A24 for believing in these two goofy, insanely smart, wonderful geniuses, [directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert], who had the courage to write about a very ordinary immigrant, aging woman, mother, daughter,” she continued. “I was given this gift of playing this woman who resonated so deeply with me and with so many people because, at the end of the day, in whatever universe she was at, she was fighting for love, for her family.”
