The Golden Globe Awards are presented annually by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) to recognize outstanding achievements in the entertainment industry, both domestic and foreign, and to focus wide public attention upon the best in motion pictures and television. The formal ceremony and dinner at which the awards are presented is a major part of the film industry's awards season, which culminates each year with the Academy Awards.
The 1st Golden Globe Awards, were held in January 1944 at the 20th Century Fox studios in Los Angeles. The 68th Golden Globe Awards, honoring the best in film and television for 2010, will be presented January 16, 2011 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, where they have been held annually since 1961.
The broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards, telecast to more than 150 countries worldwide, generally ranks as the third most-watched awards show each year, behind only the Oscars and the Grammy Awards. Unlike the Oscars, the Grammys and the Emmy Awards, the Golden Globe Awards is one of two major Hollywood awards ceremonies, the other being the Screen Actors Guild Awards, that does not have a regular host; there is a different presenter every year, who introduces the ceremony at the beginning of the broadcast.
In acting categories, Meryl Streep holds the record for the most Golden Globe wins with seven (Lyricist and Composer Alan Menken also has 7 Golden Globes but if counting only his individual wins, he has 3) while Jack Nicholson, Angela Lansbury and Alan Alda each have six. She also holds the record for most nominations with twenty-five (as of the 2010 nominations) and Jack Lemmon is second with twenty-two. However, including special awards, such as the Henrietta Award - World Film Favorite Actor/Actress or Cecil B. DeMille Award, Barbra Streisand would win with 11 awards and behind her, Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep each with seven, Angela Lansbury and Alan Alda with six and Sophia Loren with five.
Pia Zadora won a Golden Globe in 1981 in the category "Newcomer-of-the-Year" for her performance in Butterfly. There were accusations that the Foreign Press Association members had been bought off. Pia's husband, multimillionaire Meshulam Riklis, flew voting members to his casino, the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas, which gave the appearance that they voted for Zadora to repay this. Riklis also invited voting members to his house for a lavish lunch and a showing of the film. He also spent a great deal on advertising.
Additionally, the film had not been released at the time of the awards, which should have made her ineligible for an award.
