RANDOM TIDBITS
The Golden Globe Awards were founded in 1943 by 21 foreign journalists. The first Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held during a luncheon at 20th Century Fox and had only five categories: Best Motion Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress. Instead of receiving statuettes, winners were given scrolls.
The actual Golden Globe award we all know today didn't come about until 1946 when Marina Cisternas, former Hollywood Foreign Press Association's president, suggested creating statuettes that resembled an actual gold globe on a pedestal.
The Golden Globe statuettes are estimated to cost $800 each and are plated in 24-karat gold.
Meryl Streep holds the record for most Golden Globe nominations, with 29. She's also taken home the award eight times, which is also a record.
In 2008 the ceremony was canceled due to a Writer's Guild strike. Celebrities refused to show up to the show, so instead winners were announced Jan. 13 of that year during an hourlong press conference.
In 1973, Marlon Brando refused to accept his Golden Globe for Best Actor for his role in "The Godfather" because he was protesting U.S. "imperialism and racism."
