Golden Globes 2024 nominations announced: Here's everything you need to know about it

After a tumultuous period, the Golden Globes are set for a return, ushering in a revamped approach and nominations for the upcoming awards show scheduled for January. The announcement, slated for Monday, will introduce a restructured group, now a for-profit entity, featuring a more extensive and diverse voting body.

Cedric the Entertainer and Wilmer Valderrama will reveal the nominees at 8 a.m. Eastern on www.CBSNews.com/GoldenGlobes, followed by an additional 10 categories announced on “CBS Mornings” at 8:30 a.m. Notably, the 2024 show will encompass two fresh categories: cinematic and box office achievement and best stand-up comedian on television.

Anticipation surrounds potential top nominations for films like “Barbie,” “Oppenheimer,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Maestro,” “Poor Things,” and “The Color Purple,” according to industry analysts.


The 81st Golden Globe Awards, now relocated to CBS, signify a significant shift after a series of setbacks following revelations in a Los Angeles Times report in 2021. The absence of Black members in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), responsible for award selection, led to widespread boycotts by stars and studios. Consequently, NBC refused to air the show in 2022.

In a bid to address concerns, the HFPA underwent reforms by incorporating journalists of color. However, it wasn't until billionaire Todd Boehly acquired the HFPA's assets, restructuring it as a for-profit organization under Eldridge Industries, that the Golden Globes found a new trajectory. CBS's recent announcement to air the ceremony on Jan. 7 underscores the revamped stature, with streaming available on Paramount+.

Renowned as a high-profile awards broadcast, the Golden Globes historically offered a spirited, star-studded atmosphere distinct from other industry awards. Its focus primarily on prominent filmmaking categories contributed to its allure. However, the small, influential voting body was often criticized for accepting lavish gifts and impacting industry dynamics.

Before the recent reforms, the HFPA faced minimal industry scrutiny, enjoying a pivotal role in the Hollywood awards ecosystem. However, declining viewership in recent years marked a downturn, exemplified by NBC's record low of 6.3 million viewers for its last broadcast.

The voting body, now expanded to over 300 individuals globally, represents a concerted effort toward diversity and inclusivity in award decision-making. This shift signals a turning point for the Golden Globes, poised for a fresh start amidst substantial restructuring and renewed focus on equitable representation in the industry.
