The Golden Globe Awards are annual accolades presented for excellence in both international film and American television. Held since 1944, the ceremony is a significant event in the film industry's awards season, typically occurring each January and culminating in the Academy Awards. The awards recognize achievements in various categories for motion pictures, including Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, and individual acting and directing honors. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, founded over 70 years ago, established the Golden Globe Awards to recognize outstanding achievements and promote cultural ties between foreign countries and the United States through film and television. The 82nd Golden Globe Awards, for example, honored film and television productions of 2024.
