The Hollywood Foreign Press Association recognized outstanding achievements in film and television from 2009, with nominations announced on December 15, 2009. Up in the Air led all films with six nominations, while television programs such as Glee, Mad Men, and 30 Rock received multiple nods.
The 67th Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held on January 17, 2010, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills and broadcast live on NBC for the first time, hosted by comedian Ricky Gervais. Avatar won Best Motion Picture – Drama and Best Director, while Crazy Heart took Best Actor – Drama and Best Original Song.
Avatar's two Golden Globe wins reinforced its momentum ahead of the Academy Awards season, where it competed closely with The Hurt Locker. Martin Scorsese's receipt of the Cecil B. DeMille Award affirmed his standing as one of cinema's most celebrated directors. Ricky Gervais's sardonic hosting style drew widespread attention and set a tone for subsequent ceremonies.
