The 1st Golden Globe Awards, honoring the best achievements in 1943 filmmaking, was held in January 1944, at the 20th Century - Fox studios. Subsequent ceremonies were held at various venues throughout the next decade, including the Beverly Hills Hotel, and the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. In 1950, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association made the decision to establish a special honorary award to recognize outstanding contributions to the entertainment industry. Recognizing its subject as an international figure within the entertainment industry, the first award was presented to director and producer, Cecil B. DeMille. The official name of the award thus became the Cecil B. DeMille Award. Since 1963, the trophies are handed out by one or more `` Miss Golden Globe '', a title renamed in 2018 to `` Golden Globe Ambassador ''. The position is traditionally held by the daughter or sometimes the son of a celebrity, and as a point of pride is often contested among celebrity parents. In 2009, the Golden Globe statuette was redesigned ( but not for the first time in its history ). The New York firm Society Awards collaborated for a year with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to produce a statuette that included a unique marble and enhanced the statuette 's quality and gold content. It was unveiled at a press conference at the Beverly Hilton prior to the show. Revenues generated from the annual ceremony have enabled the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to donate millions of dollars to entertainment - related charities, as well as funding scholarships and other programs for future film and television professionals. The most prominent beneficiary being the Young Artist Awards, presented annually by the Young Artist Foundation, established in 1978 by late Hollywood Foreign Press member, Maureen Dragone to recognize and award excellence of young Hollywood performers under the age of 21, and to provide scholarships for young artists who may be physically and / or financially challenged. Rules Eligibility The qualifying eligibility period for all nominations is the calendar year from January 1 through December 31. Voice - over performances and cameo appearances in which persons play themselves are disqualified from all of the film and TV acting categories. Films must be at least 70 minutes, and released for at least a seven - day run in the Greater Los Angeles area starting prior to midnight on December 31. Films can either be released in theaters, on pay - per - view, or digital delivery. For the Best Foreign Language Film category, they do not need to be released in the United States. At least 51 percent of the dialogue must still be in a language other than English, and they must first be released in their country of origin during a 14 - month period from November 1 to December 31 prior to the Awards. However, if a film was not released in its country of origin due to censorship, it can still qualify if it had a one - week release in the United States during the qualifying calendar year. There is no limit to the number of submitted films from a given country. A TV program must air in the United States between the prime time hours of 8 : 00 p.m. and 11 : 00 p.m ( or 7 : 00 p.m. and 11 : 00 p.m on Sundays ). A show can air on broadcast television, basic or premium cable, or digital delivery ; it does not qualify of it is only on pay - per - view or via digital delivery of film. Also, a TV show must either be made in the United States, or is a co-production financially and creatively between an American and a foreign production company. Furthermore, reality and non-scripted shows are disqualified. For a television film, it can not be entered in both the film and TV categories, and instead should be entered based on its original release format. If it was first aired on American television, then it can be entered into the TV categories. If it was released in theaters or on pay - per - view, then it should instead to be entered into the film categories. A film festival showing does not count towards disqualifying what would otherwise be a TV program. Actors in a TV series must appear in at least six episodes during the qualifying calendar year. Actors in a TV film or miniseries must appear in at least five percent of the time in that TV film or miniseries. Screening requirements Active HFPA members need to be invited to an official screening of each eligible film directly by its respective distributor or publicist. The screening must take place in the Greater Los Angeles area, either before the film 's release or up to one week afterwards. The screening can be a regular one in a theater with the public or a press screening ; it does not need to be an HFPA member - only event. The screening must also be cleared with the Motion Picture Association of America so there are not scheduling conflicts with other official screening. For TV programs, they must merely be available to be seen by HFPA members in any common format, such as the original TV broadcast. Nominations and voting Entry forms for films need to be received by the HFPA within ten days of the official screening. TV programs should be submitted `` as early as possible '' before the deadline. As part of their regular journalistic jobs, active HFPA members will participate in covering the press conferences, and interviewing cast members, of selected films and TV programs. The film press conferences need to take place either before the film 's release in the Greater Los Angeles area or up to one week afterwards. Ballots to select the nominations are sent to HFPA members in November, along with a `` Reminder List '' of eligible film and TV programs. Each HFPA member then votes for their top five choices in each category, numbering them 5 to 1, with 5 being their top choice. The nominees in each category are then the five selections that receive the most votes. The ranked voting is only used to break ties, with number 5 worth 5 points, number 4 worth 4 points, and so on. After the nominations are announced in mid-December, HFPA members receive the final ballots. The winner in each category is selected from among the nominees by plurality voting. In case of a tie, the winner is the one that had the most votes on the nomination ballot. Ceremony The broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards, telecast to 167 countries worldwide, generally ranks as the third most - watched awards show each year, behind only the Oscars and the Grammy Awards. Since 2010, it was televised live in all United States time zones. Until Ricky Gervais hosted in 2010, the award ceremony was one of two major Hollywood award ceremonies ( the other being the Screen Actors Guild Awards ) that did not have a regular host ; every year a different presenter introduced the ceremony at the beginning of the broadcast. Gervais returned to host the 68th and 69th Golden Globe Awards the next two years. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosted the 70th, 71st and 72nd Golden Globe Awards in 2015. The Golden Globe Awards ' theme song, which debuted in 2012, was written by Japanese musician and songwriter Yoshiki Hayashi. Since 1993, Dick Clark Productions has produced the ceremony with NBC as broadcaster ; its involvement came at a time of instability for the Golden Globes, including reduced credibility and having lost its contract with CBS. Enthusiastic over Clark 's commitment, the HFPA granted the studio an unusual clause, that allowed Dick Clark Productions to retain production rights in perpetuity as long as it continued to maintain broadcast rights with NBC. In 2010, Dick Clark Productions reached an extension with NBC through 2018 ; however, the deal was negotiated without the HFPA 's knowledge. The HFPA sued DCP over the deal, as well as claims that the company was attempting to sell digital rights that it did not hold ; the HFPA had wanted a new contract that would grant them a larger share of revenue from the telecast. In April 2012, judge Howard Matz upheld the NBC perpetuity clause and ruled in favor of DCP, noting that the HFPA had a history of `` unbusiness - like display ( s ) of misplaced priorities '' and `` ( succumbing ) to bouts of pronounced turmoil and personal feuds '', in contrast to DCP, which had been `` represented by one experienced executive who was adept at dealing fairly and effectively with the often amateurish conduct of HFPA. '' Matz pointed out examples of the HFPA 's enthusiasm over the relationship and their desire to `` not get cancelled '', such as having disregarded its own bylaws by approving an extension in 2001 without a formal vote. The case was taken to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. In 2014, Dick Clark Productions and the HFPA reached a settlement ; details were not released, but DCP committed to continue its role as producer through at least the end of its current contract with NBC, and to work with the HFPA to `` expand the brand with unique and exciting entertainment experiences ''. While NBC will hold a right of first refusal to renew its contract beyond 2018, the ceremony may be offered to other broadcasters. 2008 disruption On January 7, 2008, it was announced that due to the 2007 -- 2008 Writers Guild of America strike, the 65th Golden Globe Awards would not be telecast live. The ceremony was faced with a threat by striking writers to picket the event and by actors threatening to boycott the ceremony rather than cross picket lines. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association was forced to adopt another approach for the broadcast. NBC originally had exclusive broadcast rights to the ceremonies, but on January 11, HFPA President Jorge Camara announced there would be no restrictions placed on media outlets covering the January 13 press conference, announcing the winners at 6 : 00pm PST. As a result, E !, CNN, the TV Guide Network and KNBC - TV, the network 's Los Angeles owned - and - operated affiliate, aired the 31 - minute event, emanating from the Grand Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel live, leaving NBC to fill the hour from 9 : 00 -- 10 : 00pm ET with announcements, made after - the - fact by Access Hollywood hosts Billy Bush and Nancy O'Dell. The remaining hours of programming, set aside for the ceremonies by the network, were filled with a special two - hour edition of Dateline, hosted by Matt Lauer, that included film clips, interviews with some of the nominees and commentary from comedian Kathy Griffin and the panelists from Football Night in America.

However, in 1968, the Federal Communications Commission claimed the show `` misled the public as to how the winners were determined '' ( allegations included that winners were determined by lobby ; to motivate winners to show up to the awards ceremony winners were informed if they did not attend another winner would be named ). The FCC admonished NBC for participating in the scandal. Subsequently, NBC refused to broadcast the ceremony from 1968 until after 1974. Pia Zadora awarded `` New Star of the year in a Motion Picture '' in 1982 In 1982, Pia Zadora won a Golden Globe in the category `` New Star of the Year in a Motion Picture -- Female '' for her performance in Butterfly, over such competition as Elizabeth McGovern ( Ragtime ) and Kathleen Turner ( Body Heat ). Accusations were made that the Foreign Press Association members had been bought off. Zadora 's husband, multimillionaire Meshulam Riklis, flew voting members to his casino, the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas, which gave the appearance that they voted for Zadora to repay this. Riklis also invited voting members to his house for a lavish lunch and a showing of the film. He also spent a great deal on advertising. Furthermore, Zadora had made her film debut some 17 years earlier as a child performer in Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. The Tourist for Best Musical / Comedy nominations in 2011 The nominations for the 2011 Globes drew initial skepticism, as the Hollywood Foreign Press Association nominated The Tourist in its Best Musical / Comedy category, although it was originally advertised as a spy thriller, and also one of the most panned films of the season with host Ricky Gervais even joking to main star of the film Johnny Depp if he had seen the movie. Rumors then surfaced that Sony, the distributor of The Tourist, had influenced Globes voters with an all - expenses - paid trip to Las Vegas, culminating in a concert by Cher.
