Everything You’d Ever Need to Know About the Golden Globe Awards
Meryl Streep, no surprise, holds the record for both most Globe nominations (29 as of now) and most competitive wins (seven, plus an honorary Cecil B. DeMille Award) although Barbra Streisand has nine total, counting wins for directing (she is the only female winner in the film directing category), producing, composing, and honorary awards. Four times in the ceremony’s history, an actor has taken home two statues in the same night: Sigourney Weaver, Joan Plowright, Helen Mirren, and Kate Winslet. At the 46th Globes a three-way tie occurred between Weaver, Jodie Foster, and Shirley MacLaine. During the 2017 ceremony, “La La Land” earned the most Globe statues ever for a single movie with seven, and swept more than any project—records that may hold for a while. Last year “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” and “Big Little Lies” won big.
In general HFPA voters recognize eventual Oscar hopefuls, freshman TV series, and rising stars. Below we’ve rounded up everything you’ve ever wondered about the glamorous Globes.

The history of the HFPA is a fascinating one. Per its website, though versions of international journalist groups existed previously, a version of the organization as we know it rose during WWII when the Hollywood Foreign Correspondents Association was formed “to share contacts, information, and material.” Their first Golden Globes ceremony took place in 1944, although the HFCA did not immediately grow into the HFPA; a group of members split off in 1950 to start the Foreign Press Association of Hollywood, which handed out the Henriettas (named after then-president Henry Gris). In 1955 the separate entities became one again.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is a collection of about 90 largely obscure journalists from around the world who reside in Southern California and ostensibly write about the movies. Over the years, to make sense of their sometimes bizarre choices, other reporters have dug into exactly who they are. In 2015 Vulture presented an investigation: “Some HFPA members are legitimate journalists and critics whose work could be found in major newspapers and magazines. Many more are junketeers who seem more interested in getting a picture with their subject than asking probing questions.”
The balloting procedure remains pretty simple. Members are asked to rank five nominees (from a reminder list of what’s eligible). The ranking will be used in the event of ties. That then goes back to an accounting firm. Final ballots are sent out in December and due in early January. Movies, to be eligible, must be screened for voters in the Los Angeles area.
The 76th annual Golden Globe ceremony will be held Jan. 6, 2019 at the The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles.
What differentiates the Globes most from the other major show of the season is the split between drama and musical or comedy in the film categories. This divide can become hairy given that sometimes genre isn’t that simple. Last year, for instance, there was mild controversy over whether “Get Out” really could be considered a comedy. And putting 2016’s “The Martian” under that label struck some as, well, laughable.

On top of all of that, the Globes also regularly pay tribute to a Hollywood legend with the Cecil B. DeMille Award. Last year Oprah Winfrey became the first black woman to receive one.
The requirements are fairly self-explanatory but also fairly prohibitive. You must, according to the 2017 application, live in L.A., be able to prove you’re a paid “Hollywood correspondent” for a foreign publication, be registered in the International Directory for the Motion Picture Association of America, and be sponsored by two people who are presently members. So start schmoozing!
Because of the prominence of the broadcast, the Globes are seen as a major stop on the way to the Academy Awards. And while they certainly they can swing public opinion about a particular movie or star, it’s worth remembering people who are in the HFPA are not in the Academy.
A 2013 study from FiveThirtyEight found that the Best Motion Picture Drama category has a 48 percent success rate of predicting the Oscar winner. That statistic resembles a 2016 Flavorwire analysis of the past decade that found that the Globes’ Best Picture (both comedy and drama) has a 50 percent chance of ending up the same as the Oscars’.
