The
Golden Globe Award is an accolade
bestowed by the 93 members of the
Hollywood Foreign Press Association
(HFPA) recognizing excellence in
film and television, both domestic
and foreign. The annual formal
ceremony and dinner at which the
awards are presented is a major part
of the film industry's awards
season, which culminates each year
with the Academy Awards. The first
Golden Globe Awards were held in
1944, at the 20th Century Fox
studios. Subsequent ceremonies would
be held at various venues throughout
the next decade, including the
Beverly Hills Hotel, and the
Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.
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. Until Ricky Gervais
hosted the 67th annual Golden Globe
Awards Ceremony 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
annual Golden Globe Awards in ,
and will return to host the 69th
annual Golden Globe Awards in .
In
acting categories, Meryl Streep
holds the record for the most
competitive Golden Globe wins with
seven. However, including honorary
awards, such as the Henrietta Award
– World Film Favorite Actor/Actress
or Cecil B. DeMille Award – Barbra
Streisand leads with 11 awards. Jack
Nicholson, Angela Lansbury and Alan
Alda have six awards each. Behind
them is Rosalind Russell and Sophia
Loren with five wins. Streep also
holds the record for most
nominations with twenty-six (as of
the nominations) and Jack
Lemmon is second with twenty-two.
