{{Main|List of Golden Globe Awards ceremonies}}
The broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards, broadcast to 167 countries worldwide, generally ranks as the third most-watched awards show each year, behind only the [[Academy Award|Oscars]] and the [[Grammy Award]]s. Since 2010, it was televised live in all United States time zones. Until [[Ricky Gervais]] hosted in 2010, the award ceremony was one of two major [[Hollywood (film industry)|Hollywood]] award ceremonies (the other being the [[Screen Actors Guild Award]]s) that did not have a regular host; every year a different presenter introduced the ceremony at the beginning of the broadcast. Gervais returned to host the 68th and 69th Golden Globe Awards the next two years.<ref name="auto">{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9IxSHfWDbQ&feature=youtu.be |title=Celebrity Couples Who Stole the Spotlight at Golden Globes 2025 |date=2025-01-06 |last=StarVibe |access-date=2025-01-06 |via=YouTube}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=84317|title= Ricky Gervais to Return as Golden Globes Host!|access-date= November 16, 2011|date= November 16, 2011|publisher= ComingSoon.net|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20111117115745/http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=84317|archive-date= November 17, 2011|url-status= live}}</ref> [[Tina Fey]] and [[Amy Poehler]] hosted the 70th, 71st and 72nd Golden Globe Awards in 2013 through 2015.<ref name="auto"/> The Golden Globe Awards' theme song, which debuted in 2012, was written by Japanese musician and songwriter [[Yoshiki (musician)|Yoshiki Hayashi]].<ref>{{cite web|first=Yoshiki|last=Hayashi|url=https://metal-temple.com/news/x-japan-yoshiki-composes-2012-golden-globes-theme/|title=X JAPAN: Yoshiki Composes 2012 Golden Globes Theme|access-date=November 26, 2024|date=January 15, 2012|website=Metal Temple}}</ref>

=== Broadcasting ===
The HFPA had previously held a lucrative broadcasting agreement with [[NBC]],<ref>{{cite web|last=Tucker|first=Reed|date=January 16, 2011|title=The Moet the merrier|url=https://nypost.com/2011/01/16/the-moet-the-merrier/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://archive.today/20180816190815/https://nypost.com/2011/01/16/the-moet-the-merrier/|archive-date=August 16, 2018|work=The NY Post|quote=And the HFPA has no problem paying for it; a lucrative contract with NBC makes the organization rich.}}</ref> which began televising the Golden Globes ceremony locally in Los Angeles in 1958, then nationally in 1964. However, in 1968, the [[Federal Communications Commission]] (FCC) claimed the show "misled the public as to how the winners were determined" (allegations included that winners were determined by lobby; to motivate winners to show up to the awards ceremony winners were informed if they did not attend another winner would be named). The FCC admonished NBC for participating in the scandal. Subsequently, NBC refused to broadcast the ceremony from 1968 until after 1974.<ref>{{cite web|last=Tucker|first=Reed|date=January 16, 2011|title=The Moet the merrier|url=https://nypost.com/2011/01/16/the-moet-the-merrier/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://archive.today/20180816190815/https://nypost.com/2011/01/16/the-moet-the-merrier/|archive-date=August 16, 2018|work=The NY Post|quote=The HFPA’s seemingly cozy relationship with the stars they cover has occasionally led to scandal.

Since 1993, [[Dick Clark Productions]] (DCP) had produced the ceremony with NBC as a broadcaster; DCP's involvement came at a time of instability for the Golden Globes, including reduced credibility and having lost its contract with [[CBS]] (the interim period saw it contract with cable network [[TBS (U.S. TV channel)|TBS]] to air the ceremony).<ref name=":1">{{cite news |last1=Weinraub |first1=Bernard |title=Track Record Polishes Golden Globes' Gleam |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1992/01/20/movies/track-record-polishes-golden-globes-gleam.html |access-date=June 22, 2022 |agency=New York Times |date=January 20, 1992 |archive-date=June 22, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220622214008/https://www.nytimes.com/1992/01/20/movies/track-record-polishes-golden-globes-gleam.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Enthusiastic over [[Dick Clark|Clark]]'s commitment, the HFPA's contract contained an unusual provision granting DCP the role of producer in perpetuity, provided that it continued to maintain a broadcast rights agreement with NBC.<ref name="thr-dcpsuit">{{Cite news|title=Dick Clark Productions Prevails in Golden Globes Trial, Will Remain Show Producer|language=en|work=The Hollywood Reporter|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/dick-clark-productions-prevails-golden-318099|url-status=live|access-date=December 2, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171202102810/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/dick-clark-productions-prevails-golden-318099|archive-date=December 2, 2017}}</ref>

Due to threats of writers picketing the event as part of the ongoing [[2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike|Writers Guild of America strike]], the [[65th Golden Globe Awards]] ceremony was cancelled and replaced by an hour-long press conference to announce the winners. While NBC sought to be the exclusive broadcaster of the press conference, NBC faced conflicts with the HFPA and Dick Clark Productions over the proposed coverage, including a demand for a rights fee, and concerns over plans to have [[Billy Bush]] and [[Nancy O'Dell]] of NBC's [[Broadcast syndication|syndicated]] entertainment news program ''[[Access Hollywood]]'' serve as presenters. The HFPA subsequently announced that it would not restrict coverage of the press conference by other broadcasters.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last1=Schneider |first1=Michael |last2=Adalian |first2=Josef |date=January 11, 2008 |title=Golden Globes telecast up for grabs |url=https://variety.com/2008/tv/news/golden-globes-telecast-up-for-grabs-1117978923/ |access-date=March 30, 2019 |website=Variety |language=en |archive-date=April 30, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230430055248/https://variety.com/2008/tv/news/golden-globes-telecast-up-for-grabs-1117978923/ |url-status=live }}</ref> [[E!]] and [[TV Guide Network]] (who were typically known for red carpet coverage from major awards shows) both aired coverage of the press conference, as well as [[CNN]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=No Red Carpet For TV Guide Net's 'Golden Globes' |url=https://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/73976/no-red-carpet-for-tv-guide-nets-golden-globes.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190330070627/https://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/73976/no-red-carpet-for-tv-guide-nets-golden-globes.html |archive-date=March 30, 2019 |access-date=March 30, 2019 |website=Mediapost |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=January 8, 2008 |title=TV Guide Network downsizes, but doesn't cancel, Golden Globes coverage |url=https://variety.com/2008/biz/awards/tv-guide-network-downsizes-but-doesnt-cancel-golden-globes-coverage-24127/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190330093438/https://variety.com/2008/biz/awards/tv-guide-network-downsizes-but-doesnt-cancel-golden-globes-coverage-24127/ |archive-date=March 30, 2019 |access-date=March 30, 2019 |website=Variety |language=en}}</ref> NBC declined to air the conference itself; the ceremony timeslot was filled by a ''[[Dateline NBC]]'' preview special, an hour-long results special hosted by Bush and O'Dell, and an ''Access Hollywood'' post-show also hosted by Bush and O'Dell.<ref name="CTribune">{{cite web |author=Ryan, Maureen |date=January 13, 2008 |title=Golden Globes winners?

In 2010, Dick Clark Productions reached an extension with NBC through 2018. However, the deal was negotiated without the HFPA's knowledge. The HFPA sued DCP over the deal, as well as claims that the company was attempting to sell digital rights that it did not hold; the HFPA had wanted a new contract that would grant them a larger share of revenue from the telecast.<ref name="thr-dcpsuit" /> In April 2012, judge [[Howard Matz]] upheld the NBC perpetuity clause and ruled in favor of DCP, noting that the HFPA had a history of "unbusinesslike display[s] of misplaced priorities" and "[succumbing] to bouts of pronounced turmoil and personal feuds", in contrast to DCP, which had been "represented by one experienced executive who was adept at dealing fairly and effectively with the often amateurish conduct of HFPA." Matz pointed out examples of the HFPA's enthusiasm over the relationship and their desire to "not get cancelled", such as having disregarded its own bylaws by approving an extension in 2001 without a formal vote. The case was taken to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.<ref name="thr-dcpsuit" />

In 2014, Dick Clark Productions and the HFPA reached a settlement; details were not released, but DCP committed to continue its role as producer through at least the end of its current contract with NBC, and to work with the HFPA to "expand the brand with unique and exciting entertainment experiences". NBC held a right of first refusal to renew its contract beyond 2018, but bidding was to be open to other broadcasters;<ref name="variety-settlehfpa">{{Cite news|last=Johnson|first=Ted|date=July 14, 2014|title=HFPA Settles Golden Globes Lawsuit With Dick Clark Prods.|language=en-US|work=Variety|url=https://variety.com/2014/tv/news/hfpa-settles-golden-globes-lawsuit-with-dick-clark-prods-1201262046/|url-status=live|access-date=December 2, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180114001218/http://variety.com/2014/tv/news/hfpa-settles-golden-globes-lawsuit-with-dick-clark-prods-1201262046/|archive-date=January 14, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|title=Golden Globes Players Settle Long-Running Legal War (Exclusive)|language=en|work=The Hollywood Reporter|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/golden-globes-players-settle-long-716353|url-status=live|access-date=December 2, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171203224425/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/golden-globes-players-settle-long-716353|archive-date=December 3, 2017}}</ref> in September 2018, NBC agreed to renew its rights to the Golden Globes through 2027, maintaining the current broadcast arrangement and the involvement of Dick Clark Productions.<ref>{{Cite news|title=NBC and HFPA Sign 8-Year Deal for Golden Globes|language=en|work=The Hollywood Reporter|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/nbc-hfpa-sign-8-year-deal-golden-globes-1143478|url-status=live|access-date=September 18, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180918123533/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/nbc-hfpa-sign-8-year-deal-golden-globes-1143478|archive-date=September 18, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Holloway|first=Daniel|date=September 14, 2018|title=NBC Sets Eight-Year Golden Globes Deal|language=en-US|work=Variety|url=https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/nbc-closes-golden-globes-deal-1202942412/|url-status=live|access-date=September 18, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180918123626/https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/nbc-closes-golden-globes-deal-1202942412/|archive-date=September 18, 2018}}</ref>

In 2019 and 2020, NBC televised the late Sunday afternoon [[National Football League]] (NFL) playoff game (which had historically gone to another NFL broadcaster) as a lead-in to the Golden Globes. Because of the large viewership of NFL playoff games, this was intended to boost the Golden Globes' television ratings, which dropped 11% between 2017 and 2018.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Maglio|first1=Tony|last2=Baysinger|first2=Tim|date=January 3, 2019|title=Why the 2019 Golden Globes Are Already a Ratings Hit – Probably|url=https://www.thewrap.com/golden-globes-are-already-ratings-hit-nfl-playoffs/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190106055124/https://www.thewrap.com/golden-globes-are-already-ratings-hit-nfl-playoffs/|archive-date=January 6, 2019|access-date=January 5, 2019|website=The Wrap}}</ref> If the game ever went long, NBC planned to still air the Golden Globes in its entirety on a [[broadcast delay]].<ref>{{Cite news|last=Schneider|first=Michael|date=January 3, 2020|title=Golden Globes: Here's What Will Happen if NBC's NFL Game Spills Into the Awards on Sunday|language=en-US|work=Variety|url=https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/golden-globes-nfl-game-philadelphia-eagles-seattle-seahawks-1203455960/|url-status=live|access-date=January 6, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200106183536/https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/golden-globes-nfl-game-philadelphia-eagles-seattle-seahawks-1203455960/|archive-date=January 6, 2020}}</ref> The 2021 ceremony was then postponed to February 28 due to the [[impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cinema]] and [[Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on television|on television]], avoiding the NFL season altogether.<ref name="Postponement">{{cite web |url=https://variety.com/2020/film/news/golden-globes-postponed-date-nbc-1234637007/ |title=Golden Globes 2021 Postponed Nearly Two Months |last=McNary |first=Dave |work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] |date=June 22, 2020 |access-date=February 2, 2021 |language=en |archive-date=June 22, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200622192814/https://variety.com/2020/film/news/golden-globes-postponed-date-nbc-1234637007/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
