The Golden Globes has issued new eligibility rules stating that the use of AI — including generative AI — will not disqualify a film, TV show or podcast from award consideration.
According to the AI guidelines, the technology can be used as long as human creative direction guides the authorship and production process. This includes filmmakers, TV creators, performers and podcast producers.
For acting performances, AI is only allowed to enhance the credited performer and only with their permission. Performances cannot be generated using digital likeness, voice replication or biometric data.
Hollywood says it draws a clear line between AI-assisted and AI-replaced creativity, and that the new guidelines reflect its use of AI tools while also protecting creatives in the industry.
Submissions for award consideration open June 1 and must be submitted by Oct. 30. Nominations are announced Dec. 7.
The 2027 Golden Globes is expected to air on Sunday, Jan. 10, on CBS and streamed on Paramount+. Comedian Nikki Glaser is set to return as host.
