Though HBO doesn’t seem to really announce ratings that often it sure likes to be recognized for the awards and accolades it receives. Why not? The more prestige awards you garner the more of an elite brand you become. HBO has proven that time and time again. It might not always win the prize every time but HBO certainly stands up proudly for all of the nominees in the stable. With awards season ramping up the focus right now is the Golden Globes.
If you are not familiar with the award, note the following. The Golden Globe Awards are accolades bestowed by the 93 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association beginning in January 1944, recognizing excellence in film and television, both domestic and foreign. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is a non-profit organization of journalists and photographers who report on the entertainment industry in the United States for media predominantly outside the U.S.
Here is a link to all the nominees in all categories and below, via an HBO press release, are those that pertain to HBO content.
