The 80th Golden Globes are due to take place in 2023 and the exact date has now been revealed and the ceremony’s organising body has reiterated its commitment to increase diversity.
Returning to the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, the landmark show is scheduled to take place on January 10, 2023.
According to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), US networks NBC and Peacock will broadcast the event.
A muted ceremony took place earlier this year after the HFPA faced heavy criticism over diversity issues within the organisation.

Periodic updates from the Golden Globes website and official social media accounts replaced the typically star-studded and joke-filled event.
The HFPA announced that the upcoming show next year would see the organisation make greater efforts to diversify its voting pool.
Recently, international-based voters became part of the voting pool for the first time with 103 new voters now added to the HFPA’s ranks.
The voting body is now represented by 62 different countries around the world.
Combined with the current HFPA membership, the total Golden Globe Awards voting body is now 52% female, 51.5% racially and ethnically diverse, with 19.5% Latinx, 12% Asian, 10% Black and 10% Middle Eastern, the HFPA said.
