The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Dick Clark Productions and NBC have announced that the 75th Annual Golden Globe Awards will take place on Sunday, Jan. 7, 2018.

The ceremony will air on NBC live coast-to-coast. The awards are viewed in more than 236 countries worldwide and are one of the few to include both best motion picture and television achievements.

This year’s big Golden Globe winners included “Moonlight” for Best Drama Motion Picture, Damien Chazelle for Best Director, Viola Davis for Best Supporting Actress and “La La Land” for Best Musical or Comedy Motion Picture.

The 2017 Golden Globes took place on Jan. 8 at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. During the ceremony, Meryl Streep stole the show when she took President Donald Trump to task.

“It was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter, someone he outranked in privilege, power, and the capacity to fight back,” Streep said, referring to an incident with Trump on the campaign trail. “It kind of broke my heart when I saw it. I still can’t get it out of my head because it wasn’t in a movie. It was real life.”

Trump responded that he was “not surprised” that “liberal movie people” would complain about him and referred to Streep in particular as a “Hillary lover.”

NBC’s 2017 Golden Globes hauled in 20 million total viewers, according to Nielsen. That’s 1.5 million more than 2016, or up 8 percent year over year.
