A week after the Oscars unveiled stringent new rules on the use of AI for the upcoming awards season, the Golden Globes have followed suit.
On Thursday, Globes organizers released the timeline, eligibility rules, and campaign guidelines for the 84th annual Golden Globes, which will take place on Jan. 10, 2027. Included in the information was an updated section featuring new AI regulations, as well as tweaks to the podcast category that debuted at this year’s ceremony.
Read on for everything to know about the 2027 Globes.
The new rules
When it comes to AI, the organization has established specific guidelines that state: “The use of artificial intelligence (AI), including generative AI, does not automatically disqualify a work from consideration, provided that human creative direction, artistic judgment, and authorship remain primary throughout the production process. All submitted work will be evaluated based on the extent to which creative direction, artistic decision-making, and execution originate from credited individuals. AI and similar technologies may be used as part of the production process in the manner described below, but may not replace the core creative contributions of human talent. All submissions must include a disclosure describing any generative AI used anywhere in the production of the completed work, including if any AI alteration was made to a credited performer’s likeness or voice.”
Another change will be to the podcast category. The pool of contenders will expand for 2027, with eligible podcasts being drawn from a curated list of the top 30 podcasts compared to 25 last year. Good Hang With Amy Poehler won the inaugural award this year.
