The 2024 Golden Globes awards ceremony takes place tonight (January 7) in Beverly Hills, California.

The ceremony marks the traditional start to the awards season in cinema, and this year’s edition marks the first time the awards show has taken place since its former governing body, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, disbanded in 2023.

TV production company Dick Clark Productions, along with Eldridge Industries, acquired the rights and properties to the Golden Globes in June.

The event is being hosted by the comedian Jo Koy at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

The nominees for all categories were announced in December, with Barbie just edging out its summer box office rival Oppenheimer for the film with the most nominations, with a total of nine, ahead of Oppenheimer’s eight.
