Golden Globe Awards
The last nine Golden Globe Awards, including this year's upcoming broadcast, appear to have been merged into the series listing "Golden Globe Awards" (1944). I find this inappropriate as is not the usual way of listing annual shows in IMDb. I had previously reported the series listing for deletion, instead I now find the TV specials being removed.
I have now submitted corrections to bring them back as TV specials with the previous, correct on-screen titles. If these are not accepted, please provide an explanation.

Hi Peter -
I just reviewed the series listing you mentioned and can confirm that the listing is invalid as it violates our Title formatting, Award shows should be listed on the site as individual TV Specials and not as a TV Series with episodes for each annual event.
This will involve a great deal of clean-up, as such I have filed a ticket for our editors to investigate and sort out.
As soon as I have an update on the status I will let you know here.
Cheers!

I don't think much clean-up has been done by IMDb, but I did what I could. Here is where I leave it:
1. The series title that I originally reported is still listed.
2. Because the series episodes were split into TV movies without concern for whether the listings were accurate, there are now TV movies/specials listed for almost every year since the first Golden Globe Awards in 1944 even though the awards were (according to my research) first aired in 1958 and were off the air from 1969 to 1972. I have contacted the help desk about this, but they said they would keep the titles, referring only to the IMDb listings as evidence of their existence, a circular argument which I do not plan to follow further. This is despite Michelle's reply to me about Early award shows.
3. Many of the titles are listed with titles on the form The 75th Annual Golden Globe Awards 2018, where the year in the title is superfluous. This is because that is how the series episodes were added, and they were merged or moved without preserving the previously listed titles and without respect for the formats used by the award ceremony. I have submitted original title screen titles where I could find evidence, but video is not available for every year, and some edits have not been made despite video/screengrab evidence:
#210311-195018-213000 (76th)
#210311-194644-765000 (75th)
#210311-200948-153000 (50th)
#210311-200822-826000 (48th)
#210311-195912-017000 (45th)
#210311-195724-031000 (43rd)
#210311-195513-749000 (41st)

Peter: Could you also check on the 1980s editions of the Golden Globes? I was under the impression that the Globes were off television for a certain number of years after Pia Zadora won the "New Star of the Year" award at the Globes for 1981 (held in 1982), after her husband paid for a junket for the voters. From The Encyclopedia of Movie Awards by Michael Gebert:
Granted, it's possible that the Globes could still have been broadcast in syndication, on cable (unlikely early in the 1980s, plausible later in the decade), or on television outside the U.S.

Hi @Peter_pbn & @gromit82 -
I'm just following up on this older thread to confirm if there are any related outstanding issues you are aware of with The Golden Globes or any needed clean-up. If so, let us know and our staff can take look.
