The announcement, which was livestreamed on CBSNews.com, showcased the industry’s best in film and television. In a nod to inclusivity, nominations in 10 categories were broadcast live on “CBS Mornings,” allowing fans around the world to witness the excitement in real-time.

Erik Davis of Fandango shared his enthusiasm on “CBS Mornings,” stating, “I think the best picture nominees, across the board, are some of the strongest that we’ve had in years.”

Mark your calendars for the main event! The 2024 Golden Globe Awards ceremony is set to take place on Sunday, January 7, from 8-11 p.m. ET (5-8 p.m. PT), broadcasting live on CBS. Thanks to a new partnership between the Golden Globes and CBS, viewers can also stream the ceremony on Paramount+ and the CBS app.

This year marks a significant shift as the Golden Globes make their CBS debut, ending a longstanding relationship with NBC. The change follows a turbulent period for the award show, which underwent restructuring and ownership changes in the wake of widely publicized scandals and boycotts over allegations of racism and ethical lapses within the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA).

Dick Clark Productions now owns and produces the Golden Globe Awards, with nominees and winners chosen by a voting body of 300 members from 75 countries, marking a fresh start for the prestigious ceremony.

In a move to stay ahead of the curve, the 2024 Golden Globes will introduce two new categories: cinematic and box office achievement in motion pictures and best stand-up comedian on television.

The eligibility period for consideration spans from January 1 to December 31, ensuring that films and series released within that timeframe qualify for the coveted Golden Globe recognition.
