A look back at the 2024 Golden Globes
The previous Golden Globes ceremony saw a remarkable increase in viewership, drawing in 10 million viewers, a 50% rise from the year before. Despite mixed reviews for host Jo Koy, the event was the third-largest live-streamed CBS special on Paramount+. This success can be attributed to the meticulous planning and execution by Weiss and Kirshner, who have a long history of producing high-profile events.
The legacy of White Cherry Entertainment
Founded in 1999, White Cherry Entertainment has an impressive portfolio, including the Primetime Emmys, the Super Bowl halftime show, the Tony Awards, the Kennedy Center Honors, and presidential inaugurations. Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner have collectively won 24 Emmy Awards, with Weiss famously proposing to his girlfriend on stage during one of his wins.
Weiss has also collaborated with Dick Clark Productions on various projects, such as the Academy of Country Music Awards, “Dick Clark’s New Year Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest,” and the American Music Awards.
What to expect from the 2025 Golden Globes
With Weiss and Kirshner at the helm, the 2025 Golden Globes promise to be a night of glitz, glamour, and unforgettable moments. The duo’s experience and innovative approach to live television production ensure that viewers can look forward to a seamless and engaging broadcast.
For cinema and TV series enthusiasts, the Golden Globes are a chance to celebrate the best in entertainment. Whether you’re rooting for your favorite film or eagerly awaiting the latest TV series to be recognized, the Golden Globes offer a unique blend of excitement and prestige.
