Podcasts Stepping into the Golden Globes Spotlight
Recognition Event Expands to Include Accolades for Podcast Creators - Recognition event to celebrate podcast creators as well.
Friend, listen up! The Golden Globes Awards, a big-deal event in the entertainment world, is shaking things up by introducing a new category that'll have podcasters shaking in their mic stands. The organisers have made an announcement - starting from 2026, podcasts will be celebrated in the Golden Globes for the very first time!
A Historic Step Forward in Audio Narratives
Hey there! Hear me out, buddy. It's not every day that a major film and TV awards show decides to recognize a growing medium. The President of the Golden Globes, Helen Hoehne, put it like this, "As the entertainment landscape evolves, we're excited to acknowledge new forms of storytelling." Podcasts, she said, are a powerful platform for sharing stories and building communities, transcending geographical borders and reaching all generations.
While podcasts have managed to nab trophies at digital awards shows, the Golden Globes - up till now - have only honored films and TV shows. But the times they are a-changin'! The current plan is to consider the "Top 25 Podcasts" for nomination, narrowing them down to the final six contenders for the category. More details about the ranking system and other specifics will be unveiled in the near future.
Curious about the event? Mark your calendars! Nominations for the Golden Globes 2026 will drop on December 8, making it the 83rd annual event, don't you know? The grand affair will take place on January 11, 2026, and your girl Nikki Glaser (40) will once again host the show. The event will be broadcast live on CBS and Paramount+ with Showtime.
