There's no party in Tinseltown quite like the Golden Globes. As the best in television and film are honored by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. So break out the Moet and Chandon as we explore this epic night by the Numbers. Coinage. Life, well spent. Presented by GEICO. The Golden Globe awards have come a long way since its debut in 1944. 2018 ceremony drew a massive audience with a whopping 19 million viewers across the country. And rights to that colossal viewership doesn't come cheap. NBC reportedly forks over more than $ 20 million a year to broadcast the star- studded event. The network's been home to the award show since 1993. The biggest star of the evening is the coveted 24- Karat Gold- Plated Trophy. The 10. 75 inch statuette is said to cost $ 800 to produce. But its value can extend much further. In 2014, actor Burt Reynolds auctioned off two of his Golden Globes for about $ 36, 000. Attending the festivities carries its own hefty price tag. Perfecting that red carpet look can set an actress back more than 40 grand. Thanks to expenses like $ 6, 000 for hair and $ 5, 000 for make- up. And while many may not go home a winner, everyone leaves with a deluxe swag bag. Last year, attendees received gifts valued around $ 600 each. Ladies were treated to $ 328 designer totes. And gentlemen were gifted luggage worth $ 225. Who needs a statue when handed such a lavish bundle. With Andy Samberg and Sandra Taking the helm as hosts, this year, we're sure to expect another ceremony for the books. Coinage. Life, well spent. Presented by Geico.
