Paul Giamatti Wins Golden Globe For Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy

Paul Giamatti simply gained Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy on the 2024 Golden Globes for his position in The Holdovers.

The first main awards season of the yr is underway because the 2024 Golden Globes are going down at The Beverly Hilton. Leading into the Emmys and Oscars, this yr’s Golden Globes mark the primary time the occasion is not being placed on by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. After disbanding final yr, the HFPA bought the present to Dick Clark Productions and Eldridge Industries, which now produce the awards gala with Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss.

As with previous years, this yr’s Best Actor award is cut up into two classes, with one actor profitable for Best Actor in a Drama, and one other profitable for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy. This yr’s winner for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy is Paul Giamatti, for his position in 2023’s The Holdovers.

Also nominated for the award included Nicolas Cage (Dream Scenario), Timothée Chalament (Wonka), Matt Damon (Air), Joaquin Phoenix (Beau Is Afraid), and Jeffery Wright (American Fiction).

“The Golden Globes has a rich history of supporting and celebrating the work of comedians, and we’re thrilled to honor their brilliance alongside outstanding motion picture and television performances of the year,” Golden Globes president Helen Hoehne mentioned of this yr’s gala. “Additionally, we are proud to recognize the hard work and innovation that goes into making a film that is both a blockbuster and artistically exceptional.”

How To Watch The Golden Globes:

It was confirmed on the finish of final yr that the Golden Globes have discovered a new broadcast house. The 2024 Golden Globes will air on CBS, with the telecast scheduled for Sunday, January seventh at 8 PM ET, following the community’s NFL doubleheader. Fans of movie and tv’s large evening will be capable of watch the ceremony on community tv or on Paramount+ and CBS apps. 

The swap to CBS comes after NBC selected to not renew its contract with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. That resolution was made amid controversy surrounding the HFPA’s lack of variety and inclusion efforts, which started to be criticized at size in 2020.
