The Golden Globes are awards that are presented annually by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) to recognize outstanding achievement in motion pictures and television from the previous year. Considered second in importance to the Academy Awards (for film) and the Emmy Awards (for TV), the Golden Globes are presented in a lavish televised ceremony. They were first awarded in 1944 and initially honored only films; television was added in 1956. Throughout its history, the Golden Globes have faced various controversies, including allegations of ethics violations and criticism about the HFPA’s lack of diversity.
