===Foreign Press Association of Hollywood's Henrietta Awards=== In 1950, some of the journalists in the HFCA broke away to form the Foreign Press Association of Hollywood (FPAH). It was the FPAH that instituted the Henrietta Award for World Film Favorite, which was subsequently given out by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the new name for the organization when the FPAH and HFCA merged in 1955, minus the "Henrietta" name through 1980 (for the 1979 movie year).<ref name="Henrietta Awards" /> The FPAH held its first World Film Favorite Festival on January 27, 1951, giving out Henrietta Awards in various categories. The award, an angel above a globe raised on four tall pillars, was named for the president of the FPAH, Henry Gris. Winners of the Henrietta for World Film Favorite were [[Gregory Peck]] and [[Jane Wyman]]. At the FPAH's second World Film Favorite Festival held January 26, 1952, the Henrietta was a large statuette of a naked woman holding a flower. Based on an international poll of 900 newspapers, magazines and radio stations, [[Alan Ladd]] and [[Esther Williams]] were presented the gold Henrietta for World Favorites. while silver Henriettas for "Best Young Box Office Personality" were presented to [[Leslie Caron]], [[Tony Curtis]], [[John Derek]], [[Mitzi Gaynor]], [[Marilyn Monroe]] and [[Patrice Wymore]]. At the third festival held on February 14, 1953, [[John Wayne]] and [[Susan Hayward]] won the gold Henriettas.<ref name="Henrietta Awards" /> The HFCA continued to hold their Golden Globe Awards. In 1950, the HFCA had established a special honorary award to recognize outstanding contributions to the entertainment industry. Recognizing its subject as an international figure within the entertainment industry, the first award was presented to director and producer [[Cecil B. DeMille]]. The official name of the award thus became the [[Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award|Cecil B. DeMille Award]].<ref name="Cecil B. deMille Award">{{cite web|url=https://www.goldenglobes.com/cecil-b-demille-award-0|title=The Cecil B. deMille Award|work=Golden Globe Awards|publisher=Hollywood Foreign Press Association|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200119110215/https://www.goldenglobes.com/cecil-b-demille-award-0|archive-date=January 19, 2020|url-status=live}}</ref> In January 1954, the two organizations held a joint ceremony, and the following year, they merged under the new Hollywood Foreign Press Association name. The Henrietta Award was terminated, but the HFPA instituted a special award called World Film Favorite, a Golden Globe surmounted by an angel. Similar to the Henrietta Award for World Film Favorite, the winner of the new HFPA Golden Globe was determined by a worldwide poll conducted by [[Reuters]]. This award, sometimes referred to as The Henrietta Award, was given out through 1980 for the 1979, movie year, when it was terminated.<ref name="Henrietta Awards" />
