The Golden Globes, now under new ownership, have made a comeback this year following a period of criticism and boycotts directed at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the former award presenters. The awards are currently owned by the production company responsible for producing and broadcasting the show for decades. Hosted by comedian Jo Koy, the Golden Globes have introduced two new categories this year: cinematic and box office achievement and best performance in stand-up comedy on TV.
