A Golden Globe Award is an accolade presented by the 93 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) to recognize excellence in film and television, both domestic and foreign. The annual 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, were presented on January 16, 2011, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, where they have been held annually since 1961.

Ceremony

The broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards, telecast to 167 countries worldwide, generally ranks as the third most-watched awards show each year, behind only the Oscars and the Grammy Awards. Until Ricky Gervais hosted the 67th annual Golden Globe Awards Ceremony in 2010, the award ceremony was one of two major Hollywood award ceremonies (the other being the Screen Actors Guild Awards) that did not have a regular host; every year a different presenter introduced the ceremony at the beginning of the broadcast. Gervais returned to host the 68th annual Golden Globe Awards in 2011.

History

The first Golden Globe Awards were held in 1944, at the 20th Century Fox studios. It has since been held annually, at various locations. Throughout the next decade, it will be held at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.

In 1950, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association made the decision to establish a special award that recognizes outstanding contributions to the entertainment industry. To give importance to the award and recognize its subject as an international figure in the entertainment industry, the initial award was presented to director and producer Cecil B. DeMille. The official name of the award thus became the Cecil B. DeMille Award.

In 1963, the Miss Golden Globe concept was introduced. In its inaugural year, two Miss Golden Globes were awarded, one for film and one for television. They were respectively, Eva Six (of the films ''Operation Bikini'' and ''Beach Party'') and Donna Douglas (of television's ''The Beverly Hillbillies'').

In 1964, the national telecast was distributed through a special segment on ''The Andy Williams Show''.

Recognizing the impact that animated films have on the industry, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced in 2006 that a Golden Globe would be awarded for the Best Animated Feature at the 64th Annual Golden Globe Awards.

The awards show income has enabled the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to donate millions of dollars to entertainment-related charities, as well as funding scholarships and other programs for future film and television professionals.

2008 disruption

On January 7, 2008, it was announced that due to the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, the 65th Golden Globe Awards would not be telecast live. The ceremony was faced with a threat by striking writers to picket the event and by actors, threatening to boycott the ceremony, rather than cross picket lines. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association was forced to adopt another approach for the broadcast.

NBC originally had exclusive broadcast rights to the ceremonies, but on January 11, HFPA President Jorge Camara announced there would be no restrictions placed on media outlets covering the January 13 press conference, announcing the winners at 6:00pm PST. As a result, E!, CNN, the TV Guide Network and KNBC-TV, the network's Los Angeles owned-and-operated affiliate, aired the 31-minute event, emanating from the Grand Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel live, leaving NBC to fill the hour from 9:00–10:00pm ET with announcements, made after-the-fact by ''Access Hollywood'' hosts Billy Bush and Nancy O'Dell. The remaining hours of programming, set aside for the ceremonies by the network, were filled with a special two-hour edition of ''Dateline'', hosted by Matt Lauer, that included film clips, interviews with some of the nominees and commentary from comedienne Kathy Griffin and the panelists from ''Football Night in America''.

Controversies

Both the Golden Globe Award ceremony and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has been involved in a number of controversies. Some of the more notable events include:

1968-1974 NBC broadcast ban

The HFPA has had a lucrative contract with NBC for decades, which began broadcasting the award ceremony locally in Los Angeles in 1958, then nationally in 1964. However, in 1968, the Federal Communications Commission claimed the show “misled the public as to how the winners were determined” (winners were determined by lobby; if winners did not attend the event then another name would be chosen) and admonished NBC for participating in the scandal. Subsequently, NBC refused to broadcast the ceremony from 1968 until after 1974.

Pia Zadora awarded 1981 "Newcomer-of-the-Year"

In 1981, Pia Zadora won a Golden Globe in the category "Newcomer-of-the-Year" for her performance in ''Butterfly,'' over such competition as Elizabeth McGovern (''Ragtime'') and Kathleen Turner (''Body Heat''). Accusations were made that the Foreign Press Association members had been bought off. Zadora'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. The film had not been released in the U.S. at the time of the awards, which should have made Zadora ineligible for an award associated with it. Furthermore, Zadora had made her film debut some 17 years earlier as a child performer in ''Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.''

2011 ''The Tourist'' Best Musical/Comedy nominations

The nominations for the 2011 Globes drew initial skepticism, as the Foreign Press Association nominated ''The Tourist'' in its Best Musical/Comedy category, despite the critical failures of the film. The skepticism turned to outrage when rumors surfaced that Sony, the distributor of ''The Tourist'' had "treated" Globes voters to an all-expenses-paid trip to Las Vegas, culminating in a concert by Cher.

There is the over-all jury chairman who along with the Globe Award secretariat, keeps that the process and selection of applications is obeyed. Globe Award is an initiative by Globe Forum.

History

When started in 2007, Globe Award was a Swedish CSR Award. After two years of success in Sweden, Globe Forum decided to go further with Globe Award. Struggling in making a difference and increasing awareness towards sustainable development in all societies, it made sense in creating Globe Award a truly global prize focusing on sustainability, instead of CSR, starting from 2009. The award ceremony takes place annually in Stockholm. The initiative is supported by H.R.H. Victoria Princess of Sweden. Despite the world-wide edition, there was a national edition in Poland. It took place in Gdansk in 2009. The Globe Award Polish Edition was handed out in two categories: Sustainability Innovation and Sustainable City.

name	Peter Dinklage
birth date	June 11, 1969
birth place	Morristown, New Jersey, U.S.
occupation	Actor
years active	1995–present
spouse	Erica Schmidt (2005-present) }}

Peter Dinklage (born June 11, 1969) is an American film, television and theater actor. Since his breakout role in the 2003 film ''The Station Agent'', he has acted in ''Elf'', ''Underdog'', ''Find Me Guilty'', the 2007 film ''Death at a Funeral'' and its 2010 remake, and ''The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian''. Since 2011 he has starred in the HBO series ''Game of Thrones'', based on George R.R. Martin's series of novels ''A Song of Ice and Fire''.

Dinklage was born with achondroplasia, causing dwarfism. His height is 4'5" (1.35m).

Early life

Dinklage was born in Morristown, New Jersey, the son of Diane, an elementary school music teacher, and John Carl Dinklage, a retired insurance salesman. He grew up in Mendham Township, New Jersey. Dinklage graduated from Delbarton School in Morristown in 1987, pursuing his future in acting, and graduated from Bennington College in 1991.

Career

Dinklage made his feature debut in the 1995 cult art house film ''Living in Oblivion'' playing the role of a frustrated dwarf actor complaining about his clichéd part. 2003's award winning film ''The Station Agent'' was a breakout role for Dinklage, and his first mainstream movie. He received Independent Spirit and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for Best Actor for his performance in that film. That same year, he appeared in the direct-to-DVD movie ''Tiptoes'' with Gary Oldman. As well as appearing in films, Dinklage has starred multiple times in off-Broadway productions.

In ''Elf'', Dinklage played a pretentious children's author who beats up Will Ferrell's character after he is unintentionally insulted. In 2005, Dinklage starred in the short-lived CBS science fiction series ''Threshold'' and appeared in the Michael Showalter comedy ''The Baxter'' as a wedding planner. In 2006, Dinklage appeared in Sidney Lumet's courtroom drama, ''Find Me Guilty'', and in episodes of ''Nip/Tuck''. He played himself in one episode of the HBO television series ''Entourage'' and was featured on NBC's ''30 Rock''.

Dinklage also had a role in the 2007 British ''Death at a Funeral''. He plays the same role in the American remake of the film. That same year, he played the villanous Simon Bar Sinister in ''Underdog''.

Dinklage was chosen by director Andrew Adamson for the role of Trumpkin in the 2008 film ''Prince Caspian'' although film critic Bill Gibron described his role as a "cutesy stereotype [Dinklage] has tried to avoid."

Dinklage starred in the thriller ''Knights of Badassdom'', directed by Joe Lynch.

Dinklage plays Tyrion Lannister in HBO's ''Game of Thrones'', an adaptation of author George R. R. Martin's ''A Song of Ice and Fire'' series. His performance has received praise with Ken Tucker from ''Entertainment Weekly'' stating, "...if Dinklage doesn't get an Emmy for his clever, rude Tyrion Lannister, I'll be gobsmacked" and Mary McNamara from the ''Los Angeles Times'' stating, "If the man doesn't win an Emmy, heads should certainly roll." When the nominations for the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards were released, they included a nomination for Dinklage in the category of Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.

Personal life

Dinklage married Erica Schmidt, a theatre director, in 2005. As of 2011, they are expecting their first child. He is of German and Irish descent.

When asked about his height in a 2003 interview, he said: "When I was younger, definitely, I let it get to me. As an adolescent, I was bitter and angry and I definitely put up these walls. But the older you get, you realize you just have to have a sense of humor. You just know that it's not your problem. It's theirs."

Both of his parents were of average height, as is his brother, Jonathan.

Dinklage is a vegetarian.

Richard E. Roeper (born October 17, 1959) is an American columnist and film critic for ''The Chicago Sun-Times'' and now a co-host on ''The Roe Conn Show'' on WLS-AM. He co-hosted the television series ''At the Movies'' with Roger Ebert from 2000–2008, as the late Gene Siskel's replacement.

Early life

Roeper was born in Chicago, Illinois, and was raised in south suburban Dolton, Illinois. He attended Thornridge High School and graduated from Illinois State University in 1982.

Career

Roeper began working as a columnist for the ''Chicago Sun-Times'' in 1987. The topics of his columns range from politics to media to entertainment. He has written seven books, on topics from movies to urban legends to conspiracy theories to the Chicago White Sox. In 2009 Roeper appeared on Howard Stern's show and said he had written a book on gambling, entitled ''Bet the House'', which was released in the first quarter of 2010.

Roeper also was a radio host on WLS AM 890 in Chicago. He also hosted shows on WLUP-FM, WLS-FM and WMVP-AM in Chicago. He won three Emmy awards for his news commentaries on Fox in the 1990s, and was the film critic for CBS in Chicago for three years in the early 2000s. He won the National Headliner Award as the top newspaper columnist in the country in 1992, and has been voted best columnist in Illinois by the Associated Press on numerous occasions.

His columns have been syndicated by the New York Times to publications around the world. Roeper has written for a number of magazines, including ''Esquire'', ''Spy'', ''TV Guide'', ''Playboy'', ''Maxim'' and ''Entertainment Weekly''. He was once named as one of People magazine's most eligible bachelors.

Roeper has been a frequent guest on the ''Tonight Show'', ''Live with Regis and Kelly'', ''The O'Reilly Factor'' and countless other national programs. He is currently the host of ''Starz Inside'', a monthly documentary series airing on the Starz network since the fall of 2007. Roeper appeared on the first episode of the fifth season of Entourage reviewing the fake movie ''Medellin'' starring fictional movie star Vincent Chase. In April 2008, Roeper was the central figure on an episode of ''Top Chef'', in which the contestants served up movie themed dishes to Roeper and his friends, including Aisha Tyler.

In February 2009, Roeper launched his own web site, , which features movie reviews, blog entries about politics, sports and movies, photos and Twitter entries. For most of the year Roeper was posting print reviews and blog entries. In December 2009, he launched a video section, with on-camera reviews of movies. The video segments are produced in partnership with the Starz premium cable channel. Roeper announced the reviews will appear first on his site, then on the Starz channel.

In December 2009, it was reported Roeper had signed a "six-figure" deal with ReelzChannel to be a regular contributor. He will continue to review movies online for his website and for Starz.

As of Monday, April 12, 2010, he is now the co-host of ''The Roe Conn Show'' on Chicago's WLS-AM 890 radio station from 2-6pm CST.

Work as a film critic

After Gene Siskel of ''Siskel & Ebert'' died on Saturday, February 20, 1999, Roger Ebert did the show with nearly 30 co-hosts. After 10 guest stints, Roeper was offered the opportunity to permanently co-host the popular film review show with Ebert. The series was renamed ''Ebert & Roeper at the Movies'' in 2000, and shortened to ''Ebert & Roeper'' in 2002.

Beginning in August 2006, while his co-host Roger Ebert was recovering from cancer surgery, Roeper was joined by guest critics, including ''Clerks'' director Kevin Smith and ''The Tonight Show'' host Jay Leno. On Sunday, July 20, 2008, Roeper announced he was leaving the show in mid-August and would return with a new show later in the year. He continues to write his general interest column, and also contributes reviews to the ''Sun-Times'' and to newspapers across the country.

The role won him the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy, the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role, the Cannes Film Festival Best Actor Award, and the Academy Award for Best Actor. He is the first French actor to win the Academy Award for Best Actor.

Early life

Dujardin was born and raised in Rueil-Malmaison (Hauts-de-Seine, Île-de-France), a commune in the western suburbs of Paris, France. After attending high school, he went to work for his parents' construction company. Dujardin began contemplating a career in acting while serving his mandatory military service a few years later.

Career

Dujardin began his acting career performing a one-man show he wrote in various bars and cabarets in Paris. He first gained attention when he appeared on the French talent show ''Graines de star'' in 1996 as part of the comedy group ''Nous C Nous'', which was formed by members of the ''Carré blanc'' theater.

From 1999-2003, Dujardin starred in the France production of the originally Canadian comedy series ''Un gars, une fille'', alongside his future wife Alexandra Lamy, before transitioning to a career in film. The TV series charted the path of a relationship; each episode was less than ten minutes long. In 2005, he portrayed the titular surfer in the popular comedic film ''Brice de Nice'' and performed on its accompanying soundtrack.

In 2006, Dujardin starred as racist, sexist secret agent Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath in the comedy ''OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies'', a role which earned him an Etoile D'Or Award and a César Award nomination for Best Actor. The film's success spawned a sequel, ''OSS 117: Lost in Rio''. In 2007, directed by Jan Kounen, he starred in the film ''99F (99 francs)'', a very successful existential parody of an advertising exec, adapted from the eponymous best-seller written by Frédéric Beigbeder. This same year, he ventured in drama for the first time on the silver screen, playing a tortured father and cop in Franck Mancuso's ''Contre-enquête''. In 2009, he appeared in ''A Man and His Dog'' alongside screen legend Jean-Paul Belmondo, with whom he has often been compared. In 2010, he starred alongside Albert Dupontel, playing his character's cancer in ''The Clink of Ice'', a French black comedy written and directed by Bertrand Blier.

In 2011, Dujardin starred as movie star George Valentin in the silent film ''The Artist'', directed by Michel Hazanavicius. The film premiered at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, where he received the Best Actor Award. His performance garnered much critical acclaim and he received numerous nominations, including the Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for Best Actor and the Screen Actors Guild for Best Actor. On January 15, 2012, Dujardin won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. On January 24, 2012, Dujardin received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor. He later went on to win the Screen Actors Guild for Best Actor, the BAFTA for Best Actor and the Academy Award for Best Actor. He was also nominated for the ''César award'' of the best actor but lost it to newcomer ''Omar Sy'' for his role in the most ever viewed movie in France ''Untouchables''. He has been described as France's answer to George Clooney.

In 2012, he will appear in ''Les Infidèles'' set to release in February in France. Dujardin's next project is a remake of Claude Berri's ''One Wild Moment'' (Un moment d'égarement) in which he will star opposite Vincent Cassel. Jean Dujardin is the fourth French actor to be nominated to an Oscar and the first to win one as the best actor.
