The upcoming 2024 edition of the awards show, airing Sunday, Jan. 7 on CBS, will feature two Golden Globes classics: the Cecil B. DeMille and Carol Burnett honorary trophies.
The two lifetime achievement awards, which were awarded to Eddie Murphy and Ryan Murphy respectively last year, will not be presented this year, but are expected to be presented again in the future.
The development comes as the Globes changed ownership and status over the past 12 months, becoming a for-profit organization owned by Deadline parent company PMC and show producer Dick Clark Prods. in a joint venture with Eldridge; its electoral body, which grows to 300 members from 76 countries; and network, moving to CBS (streaming on Paramount+) after decades at NBC.
The ceremony added two new categories this year, for film and box office performance and for best performance by a stand-up comedian on television, the first with eight nominees.
“Awards also increased, with 25 of the competition categories growing from five nominees to six, but that increase comes with a reduction for this year without the Cecil B. DeMille and Carol Burnett Awards,” Globes’ Tim Gray said in ‘ wrote a post on the program’s website last month. “This is not a permanent change; Future awards are planned.”
The film-oriented Cecil B. DeMille Award is presented every year beginning with DeMille in 1952, except 1976; 2008, when there was no ceremony due to the WGA strike and the winners were announced at a press conference; and in 2022, when the ceremony was not televised due to the diversity of the HFPA voting body and other controversies.
The Carol Burnett Award in Television was established in 2019 with Burnett as the first recipient. Since then, the award has taken place annually, except in 2022.
