Actors, directors and all manner of crew members will be busy in the coming weeks scribbling down speeches they hope they’ll get to deliver while gratefully clutching an award of some kind.
Awards season for stars of film and TV begins in earnest in the next few weeks and first up is the 76th Golden Globe Awards. They will hand out awards across a wide range of categories, recognizing excellence film and television for the calendar year of 2018.
The first Golden Globes ceremony took place in January 1944. The awards are voted on by the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and cover films and television programmes in the US and internationally.
They are often compared to the Academy Awards, but differ greatly. Not only do they hand out awards for television, but they also have sub-categories such as musical/comedy and drama for film and TV.
However, there are similarities with the Oscars as some familiar names top the lists of multiple winners. Not surprisingly, no-one was won more acting Golden Globes for motion pictures than Meryl Streep, who has seven Globes from 29 nominations. Three-time Oscar winner Jack Nicholson is just behind Streep on the list with six acting Golden Globes and a total of 17 nominations.
In television, Alan Alda has won six Golden Globes for his MASH while Carol Burnett has five for her self-titled TV show.
British actress Helen Mirren holds the distinction of winning Golden Globe acting awards for both film and television in the same year when she won awards in 2007 for the movie The Queen and the television show Elizabeth I.
