The telecasting of the Golden Globe Awards is generally considered to be at the third rank, in terms of viewing the program on television. The popularity of this award function is just behind the Oscar and the Grammys. Different film studios mention their Golden Globe award or nomination for this award on their advertisements and posters. The award of Golden Globe is among the most prestigious honors for the actors and actresses of the world. This award is considered to be as prestigious as its British equivalent, BAFTA Awards. The Golden Globe Awards are awarded based on the votes of the part time journalists and the people engaged in reporting Hollywood related incidents. Even journalists from outside the United States also vote for the nominees of the Golden Globe Award. The eligibility period of the Golden Globe Awards is a bit different from that of the Academy Award. The eligibility period for the nomination for the award starts from 1st October. The Golden Globe Award does not have a regular host, while, Grammy, Oscar and Emmys have their regular host (the Screen Actors Guild). Every year, the function of Golden Globe Awards has a new host.
The first Golden Globes Award was held in the year 1944 at the studio of 20th Century Fox. Since then it has been held every year at different other locations throughout the whole of the next decade. Hollywood Knickerbocker Club, Beverly Hills Hotel, and the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel are among the different location where the function of Golden Globe Award has been held. During the early part of the 1950s, Hollywood Foreign Press Association initiated a special award for excellent performance in the entertainment world. In the year 1952, Cecil B. DeMille was presented with this award. The very next year the Golden Globe Award was presented to the Walt Disney. All these efforts are supposed to be made to elevate the image of the whole award function and the image of this prestigious award.
Initially the awards were presented to the awardees by the journalists associated with the authority of the Golden Globe. In the year 1958, the local telecast of the Golden Globe Award ceremony got started. As soon as, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and Sammy Davis, Jr., popularly known as the “Rat Pack” heard about the telecasting of this award ceremony, they took a flight and reached the venue almost in no time. They almost overtook the stage and entertained the audience with cigarettes and whiskey in their hand. The audience was enthralled by their performance and the next year they were asked to host the Golden Globe Award Ceremony.
