Here Are the Key Dates for the 2024 Golden Globe Awards

The Golden Globes made a series of major announcements on Thursday (Aug. 31). They announced all the key dates for the 2024 Golden Globe Awards; named eight of the nine members of their newly-formed membership board of directors; and committed to revealing the full list of the new voting body and distribution partner by Oct. 2.

Nominations are set to be announced on Monday, Dec. 11. The awards will take place on Sunday, January 7, 2024. No host has been announced. Comedian Jerrod Carmichael hosted the 2023 show, which was held at the Globes’ usual venue, The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif., and carried on NBC.

The membership board of directors is responsible for selecting, ratifying and accrediting journalists as voting members for the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards. Five of the nine members are appointed independent entertainment or media professionals. The four others are elected from within the Golden Globe Association membership. The board is helmed by long-time Golden Globes president Helen Hoehne.

“We are proud of how the Golden Globes has evolved over the past two years and where the organization is headed,” Hoehne said in a statement. “With its unique international footprint and global perspective on the entertainment world, this esteemed and trusted board truly sets the Golden Globes apart as an organization intent on recognizing achievements in film and television with superior credibility and integrity.”

Tim Gray, former awards editor and senior vice president for Variety, joins the board and the Golden Globes organization as executive vice president, effective immediately. 

“I spent 42 years of my life at Variety, so it would take a special job opportunity to get me to leave. This is definitely it,” said Gray. “Major changes are already underway at the Golden Globes and I think people in Hollywood, and around the world, will be pleased when they see integrity restored while the sense of fun remains. I’m impressed with each person on the board – their experience, reputation, and their high standards.”

Dick Clark Productions (DCP) and its partners will plan, host and produce the annual Golden Globe Awards, which are one of the few awards ceremonies to include achievements in both motion pictures and television. The awards date to 1944.

DCP and Eldridge acquired all the Golden Globes’ assets, rights, and properties from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) on June 12. The transaction resulted in the wind-down of the HFPA and its membership. The proceeds from the transaction, plus the existing resources of the HFPA, transitioned into a newly formed Golden Globe Foundation which continues the legacy of the HFPA’s history of entertainment-related charitable giving. 

Over the last three decades, the licensing fees from the Golden Globe Awards have enabled donations of more than $55 million to entertainment-related charities including scholarship programs, film restoration projects and humanitarian efforts. This funding has also supported diverse programs in partnership with advocacy groups aimed at promoting greater access in Hollywood for underserved communities.

This year, Ernst & Young LLP marks its 51st consecutive year overseeing the voting, balloting and tabulation process for the Golden Globes.
