The Golden Globes

First held in 1944, the Golden Globes are accolades hosted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA). Every year, members of the association vote for the best movies and TV series in the United States and abroad. In the past years, the ceremony received criticism and, consequently, the number of Golden Globes TV viewers decreased in the United States, reaching an all-time low in 2021, with only 5.4 million viewers.

TV and movie awards shows

The Golden Globes ceremony is just one of the many TV and movie awards shows taking place every year to recognize achievements in the film and television industries. Other examples are the Academy Awards and the Emmy Awards. The Academy Awards are the most popular awards show in the United States, with an audience of over 15 million viewers. The Emmy Awards, bestowed by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS), recognize excellence in 25 different categories in separate ceremonies throughout the year. For instance, the program The White Lotus won the most Emmy awards in September 2022.
