The first awards presentation for distinguished achievements in the film industry granted by - Hollywood Foreign Correspondents Association the precursor of today's Hollywood Foreign Press Association - took place in early 1944 with an informal ceremony at 20th Century Fox. There, Jennifer Jones was awarded Best Actress honors for The Song of Bernadette, which also won for Best Film, while Paul Lukas took home Best Actor laurels for Watch on the Rhine. Awards were presented in the form of scrolls.

In 2007 a new category was introduced: Best Animated Feature Film. The first year's nominees were Cars, Happy Feet, and Monster House, with Pixar's Cars taking the Globe. In 2018, the Carol Burnett Award was created to honor excellence in television - Carol Burnett was the recipient of the first award, in January 2019. Today, the Golden Globes recognize achievements in 25 categories; 14 in motion pictures and 11 in television.
The formal ceremony is preceded by a dinner and has become more and more exclusive, thus obtaining tickets has become very difficult.
