The History of the Golden Globes
In 1944, the HFPA presented scrolls of achievement in six motion picture categories: Best Picture (Song of Bernadette); Best Director (Henry King for Song of Bernadette); Best Actor (Paul Lukas in Watch on the Rhine); Best Actress (Jennifer Jones in Song of Bernadette); Best Supporting Actor (Akim Tamiroff in For Whom the Bell Tolls); and, Best Supporting Actress (Katina Paxinou in For Whom the Bell Tolls). None of the first winners were selected from a list of nominees.
As time passed, HFPA created the Award of Merit which is the familiar golden globe with a strip of film encircling it, added new categories, added nominations, and recognized achievements in television. Today, there are fourteen categories for movies, eleven for television, and one honorary Globe (Cecil B. DeMille Award). Unlike the Oscars, many of the categories are subdivided into "Drama" and "Comedy/Musical". This year's winners will be selected by ninety journalists who are based in the United States but work for foreign newspapers and journals.
