## **US awards mainstay will go global, showcasing new emerging markets' screen talent for the first time.**

**The** **Golden Globes**, the fixture of the Hollywood awards calendar owned by Dick Clark Productions, is planning a maiden expansion westward from Los Angeles – almost halfway around the world, in fact – for its first-ever franchise agreement. 

The only such project for any major American awards circuit property, **Vivid Strategies**, a consultant partner, confirms the showcase will honour the diversity of film and television produced in the **Caucasus and Central Asia** later this year.

Still in the planning, the programme is set for this fall and has engaged Vivid and production house **Foresee Films,** which have regional execution expertise. Countries highlighted will include **Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan** from the Caucasus, and Central Asia's **Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan.**

Founded by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in 1943, the rumoured showcase will reflect the growing globalisation of cinema and television talent – and an evolution of the Globes' original founding mission, which originally sought to recognise American-made cinematic art forms as a way of expanding their global commercial audience. The awards have chosen a Non-English Language annual winner since 1949, and the Globes' new ownership continues to make [new voices and expanding global viewership](https://dujour.com/news/jay-penske-golden-globes/?ref=financialht.com) part of its mandate.

Meanwhile, the markets proposed for the new programme have a proud and fast-growing cinema tradition. While many directors and actors from the area have been highly avant-garde and celebrated among their Western peers for artistry and boldness (often in the face of state pressure during the Soviet era), they remain globally under-appreciated today.

The deal would therefore represent a historic moment for the region, one envisioned to provide a retrospective for local cinematic excellence, alongside contemporary nominees for the year, and purposed to bridge local creative talent with global investment and production capacity.
