Snubs and surprises
While many of the expected films and TV series were nominated, a few of this year's big hitters missed out.
Notably, Ridley Scott's biopic of Napoleon featuring Joaquin Phoenix and Vanessa Kirby received no nominations.
Phoenix instead sprung a surprise nod for best actor in a comedy or musical for his role in Beau is Afraid, a three-hour long black comedy that split critics, with NME calling it the "most bonkers movie of the year".
Although musical drama The Colour Purple received two nominations, for best actress in a musical or comedy and best supporting actress, it failed to make the nominees for best picture.
Saltburn scored two acting nominations for its stars Barry and Keoghan and Rosamund Pike, neither of whom were considered frontrunners.
Nicolas Cage's nod for Dream Scenario was also unexpected. But Ferrari, another awards favourite starring Adam Driver and Penelope Cruz, was snubbed altogether.
Netflix's WWII drama All the Light We Cannot See was nominated for best TV series despite critics giving it the thumbs down, with the Guardian calling it "a terrible mess".
It had looked as if the 81st Golden Globes would not be televised this year, after organisers struggled to find a broadcast partner following recent controversies.
But producers recently struck a deal with US network CBS, which also broadcasts the Grammy Awards, and the ceremony will also stream on Paramount+.
The organisation which was behind the Golden Globes, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), attracted controversy in recent years due to allegations of corruption and a lack of diversity within its membership.
The Globes have introduced changes as a result - membership of the voting body has increased from around 90 to 300 since 2021 and was now significantly more diverse.
It has not yet been announced who will present the 2024 Globes, but the ceremony has a history of hiring acerbic hosts who make cutting jokes at the expense of the A-list nominees in attendance - much to the delight of audiences at home.
Previous Globe hosts have included Ricky Gervais, Jerrod Carmichael, Seth Myers, and Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
The Golden Globes are traditionally a more light-hearted event than many of the other ceremonies in film awards season.
Taking place in the first week of January, celebrity guests are usually in a good mood, fresh from their Christmas break.
In contrast, the Bafta Film Awards and the Oscars are much more formal events - and the prizes more prestigious.
But a win at the Golden Globes can add significant momentum to an awards campaign, with the recipients given the opportunity to deliver a rousing acceptance speech on TV at a time when Oscar voters are considering their own nominations.
There is a much higher chance of a Golden Globe nomination than an Oscar nod - the Globes split their film and lead acting categories into drama and musical or comedy, with six slots available in each instead of the Academy's five.
