A Golden Globe nomination is an acknowledgment given to films and television shows that are considered outstanding in various categories, such as Best Motion Picture or Best Television Series. The nominations are determined by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which consists of international journalists based in Hollywood. The nominees are announced annually, typically in December, and the awards ceremony follows in January. Winning a Golden Globe can significantly boost a film or show's visibility and prestige, often influencing future awards, including the Academy Awards.
