History of the Golden Globe Awards

The Golden Globes awards were held for the first time in 1944 at the 20th Century-Fox studios, to honor the best film achievements of the year 1943. The Awards were held thanks to the fact that several writers came together to form the Association of the Hollywood Foreign Press (HFPA).

The category of "Special honorific prize" was established in 1950, to recognize the outstanding achievements in the film industry. The first special honorific award was given to the American director and producer Cecil B. DeMille. Then the name of this category was changed Cecil B. DeMille Award.

The income obtained by the presentations of the Golden Globes awards has allowed the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to donate millions of dollars to organizations, fund scholarships and programs related to film and television.

For the Best Foreign Language Film award, the film is required to be presented in your country and does not require it to be shown in the United States.
