The Golden Globes will add a new category recognizing podcasts starting next year
The Golden Globes are adding a new category to recognize something other than achievements film and television.
On Wednesday, the Globes announced that a best podcast of the year category will be added to its awards slate, to debut starting next year when the ceremony will be broadcast on January 11, 2026, according to a news release.
The category will honor the 'extraordinary and diverse talents in podcasting,' the release read, while acknowledging that the annual awards ceremony is committed to giving a platform to 'the full spectrum of entertainment, while reflecting today's audiences and consumption behavior around the world.'
'As the world of entertainment continues to evolve, we are excited to recognize new forms of storytelling,' Golden Globes president Helen Hoehne said in a statement on Wednesday.
Hoehne added that 'by celebrating achievements in both audio and visual podcasts, we aim to honor our heritage categories while making room for new voices and formats to be heard.'
According to the release, only the 'top 25 podcasts' will qualify for the award and the category will include a total of six nominees.
A representative for the Golden Globes confirmed to CNN on Wednesday that narrative, video, interview and news-based podcasts will be eligible.
The Golden Globes will announce more eligibility criteria in the coming weeks.
Comedian Nikki Glaser is set to emcee the glitzy awards ceremony in 2026, marking her second time serving as the show's host after her debut earlier this year.
In March, Glaser said that hosting 'was without a doubt the most fun I have ever had in my career. I can't wait to do it again, and this time in front of the team from 'The White Lotus' who will finally recognize my talent and cast me in season four as a Scandinavian Pilates instructor with a shadowy past.'

Popular TikTok star Khaby Lame leaves the U.S. after being detained by ICE
Khaby Lame, the world's most popular TikTok personality with millions of followers, has left the U.S. after being detained by immigration agents in Las Vegas for allegedly overstaying his visa. The Senegalese-Italian influencer, whose legal name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was detained Friday at Harry Reid International Airport but was allowed to leave the country without a deportation order, a spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed in a statement. Lame arrived in the U.S. on April 30 and 'overstayed the terms of his visa,' the ICE spokesperson said. The Associated Press sent a message seeking comment Tuesday to the email address listed on Lame's Instagram account. He has not publicly commented on his detainment. His detainment and voluntary departure from the U.S. comes amid President Donald Trump's escalating crackdown on immigration, including raids in Los Angeles that sparked days of protests against ICE, as the president tests the bounds of his executive authority. A voluntary departure – which was granted to Lame – allows those facing removal from the U.S. to avoid a deportation order on their immigration record, which could prevent them from being allowed back into the U.S. for up to a decade. The 25-year-old rose to international fame during the pandemic without ever saying a word in his videos, which would show him reacting to absurdly complicated 'life hacks.' He has over 162 million followers on TikTok alone. The Senegal-born influencer moved to Italy when he was an infant with his working class parents and has Italian citizenship. His internet fame quickly evolved. He signed a multi-year partnership with designer brand Hugo Boss in 2022. In January, he was appointed as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. Last month, he attended the Met Gala in New York City, days after arriving in the U.S.
