With much fanfare, film industry enthusiasts are preparing for one of the year’s most eagerly awaited award shows—a grand celebration of excellence known as the Golden Globes.
The Golden Globes at A Glance
This prestigious event honors talented artists’ achievements and acknowledges their immense effort and dedication to creating meaningful stories. In the digital age, participating in this momentous celebration is as simple as tapping a button.
A Snapshot of History
Looking back eight decades, we are reminded of when the world gathered to laud skilled and hardworking individuals who entertained and moved the world with their craft. The first Golden Globes were born in 1944, and since then, they have evolved, just like the industry itself, to encompass a diverse range of categories. This evolution is a testament to the industry’s durability and adaptability, connecting us to its rich history.
As the Golden Globes Platform notes,
in 1956, the ceremony expanded to include unique categories such as the Trailblazer Award. This award honors pioneers in American storytelling, song, and comedy—including notable names like Walt Disney, Dinah Shore, Lucille Ball, and Desi Arnaz. This marked a significant milestone in the recognition of television alongside motion pictures, a tradition that continues to this day.
One year later, TV content creators finally received more recognition on this revered platform. As we enter a new year of celebration for an industry built on the passions and dreams of true artisans, it’s a time to pay tribute to the past. It’s also a time to inspire future generations to reinvent and innovate and craft their stories for the waiting world.
Celebrating Excellence: Join the 82nd Golden Globes on Paramount+!
The Golden Globes are a source of hope and inspiration, inspiring the upcoming generation to craft and share their narratives. While attending one of the biggest award shows in entertainment may not be viable for most, tuning into Paramount+ with the Showtime add-on allows us to participate in the 82nd year of recognizing excellence within the industry.
The system of acknowledging accomplishments changes with time. Some categories have become less prominent, while others have gained prominence. As the Golden Globes state,
“Currently, there are 27 categories recognized at the Golden Globes—14 for film and 13 for television. January 10, 2023, marked the milestone 80th Golden Globe Awards.”
So it is, as the sun rises in a new year, we are reminded of the tireless efforts and dreams of artisans who birthed this industry. Each year, their accomplishments inspire and propel the next generation toward innovation and storytelling.
Time and Place : Be There
The Golden Globes will be streamed today, January 5, at 8 p.m. This ceremony honors those who have reinvented themselves and shared their stories with future generations.
