After a boost in ratings last January for the Golden Globes, the production team of Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner of White Cherry Entertainment will return to once again serve as executive producers and showrunners. Weiss and Kirshner also won the Globes last January.
The news comes as the Globes and CBS announced that entries are now open for the 82nd Golden Globes, which will air live on Sunday, January 5, 2025 at 8:00 PM ET/5:00 PM PT on CBS. (The Kudocast is also streaming in the US on Paramount+).
Deadline for film and TV submissions is Monday, November 4; these entries can be found here. The nominations will be announced on Monday, December 9.
Dick Clark Productions is behind the Golden Globe Awards, which averaged 10 million viewers last January, up nearly 50% from the year before and scoring its largest audience since 2020. (The increase came despite poor reviews for host Jo Koy.) According to the Globes, the broadcast was the third-largest live-streamed CBS special event on Paramount+ ever.
Weiss and Kirshner founded White Cherry Entertainment in 1999 and have produced previous editions of the Primetime Emmys, the Super Bowl halftime show, the Tony Awards, the Kennedy Center Honors and presidential inaugurations (including President Biden’s in 2021). Weiss has won fourteen Emmy Awards over the years (including the infamous time he proposed to his girlfriend on stage), while Kirshner has won ten Emmys.
Weiss has also worked as a director with Dick Clark Productions on such productions as the Academy of Country Music Awards, “Dick Clark’s New Year Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest” and the American Music Awards.
