Golden Globes 2019: A Night To Remember
Hey there! Picture this: it's January 6, 2019, and we're talking about the Golden Globes. The stars were out in full force, looking absolutely stunning, and they definitely turned heads.

Yes, you heard that right — the Golden Globes trophies got an upgrade just in time for the big night.

You know how sometimes a simple update can make all the difference? Well, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association unveiled the new design of the coveted trophies on January 4, just a few days before the ceremony. The older version featured a gold globe sitting on a rectangular stone base, but this year, they went all out with an entirely gold design. Talk about making a statement!
The redesign of the Golden Globes trophies is nothing short of spectacular. These new awards are longer, leaner, and way more golden — all thanks to their 24-carat gold-plated design. They've retained the iconic look of the original Golden Globe with the filmstrip accolade but added a modern twist. There are even two versions of the award: one completely gold for film and TV winners, and another with a black base for the Cecil B. DeMille honor and the newly created Carol Burnett Award. It's like they're saying, "Here's to celebrating excellence in all its forms!"

So, what exactly changed in the design? Well, the new statues aren't just shinier; they've also grown in size. The old Golden Globes stood at 10.75 inches tall with a base width of 3.5 inches. Now, they're 11.5 inches tall with a base width of 3.75 inches. And here's the kicker — the older trophies weighed just over 10 pounds, but the new ones are a bit lighter at 7.8 pounds. That's right, they shaved off 2.3 pounds. But wait, there's more! Each award comes with a special "proof of authenticity" that includes the winner's name, the category they won in, and the year they received it. Talk about personalization!
Who Took Home the Trophies?
This year, the Golden Globes had some incredible winners. Regina King took home the award for her role in If Beale Street Could Talk. Glenn Close was celebrated for her performance in The Wife. Rami Malek dazzled audiences as Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, while Olivia Colman was praised for her role in The Favourite. Christian Bale's portrayal in Vice earned him a trophy, as did Mahershala Ali for Green Book. Patricia Arquette, Darren Criss, Sandra Oh, Rachel Brosnahan, Michael Douglas, and Patricia Clarkson were also among the night's big winners. It was a night filled with talent and celebration!
