No Cecil B. DeMille or Carol Burnett Awards this year
Both the Cecil B. DeMille and Carol Burnett Awards -- meant to honor outstanding contributions to film and excellence in television, respectively -- will not be awarded this year.
"This is not a permanent change, with future awards slated to be given," a Dec. 19 post on the Golden Globes' website states.
The reason for the awards not being given this year is time constraints, with the post noting that two additional competitive categories have been added to the ceremony -- cinematic and box office achievement and best performance in stand-up comedy on television -- as well as 25 of the categories expanding from five to six nominees each.
Last year's recipients of the Cecil B. DeMille and Carol Burnett Awards were Eddie Murphy and Ryan Murphy, respectively.
