The Golden Globes has added a pair of new competitive categories, one for box office achievements and another for stand-up comedians.
As the HFPA era of the Golden Globes is phased out, a pair of competitive categories will be added to the 81st ceremony, according to a press release from the organization.
The two new categories are Cinematic and Box Office Achievement in Motion Pictures and Best Stand-Up Comedian on Television. They'll be presented during the Jan. 7 ceremony. Per an official description of the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category, the bracket will recognize eight of the "most acclaimed, highest-earning and/or most viewed films that have garnered extensive global audience." Rules indicate that eligible films must have grossed over $150 million globally — with at least $100 million of that haul coming from the United States — and/or must "obtain commensurate digital streaming viewership recognized by trusted industry sources.
"The new Cinematic and Box Office Achievement award is more than just rewarding the year's top earning and most viewed motion pictures," said Tim Gray, Executive Vice President of the Golden Globes. "These films have typically not been recognized among industry awards, but they should be." On the television side, the Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television will honor six "traditional stand-up comedy performances of at least 30 minutes" that first aired in the United States, excluding work that's part of larger series or TV films.
