The 83rd Annual Golden Globes® Generates $133.5 Million in Economic Impact for the City of Beverly Hills and Greater Los Angeles Region

‍

The Report Underscores the Organization’s Dual Role as Driver of Premier Cultural Events and as a Powerful Economic Engine for Southern California

‍

LOS ANGELES (April 1, 2026) — Today, Greyhill Advisors, a leading economic analysis consulting firm, in partnership with Dick Clark Productions (DCP), the world’s largest owner and producer of televised live event entertainment programming, announced the results of an economic report analyzing the financial impact of the 83rd Annual Golden Globes® for the city of Beverly Hills and Greater Los Angeles region. The 2026 show and ancillary events leading up to it generated an impressive $133.5 Million in economic impact for the city of Beverly Hills and Greater Los Angeles region, building on the show's long-standing history of fueling job creation and driving significant revenue across key sectors such as hospitality, travel, dining, lifestyle, and more, while deeply enriching the local economy.

‍

The report underscores the dual role of the Golden Globes as a driver of premier cultural events and as a powerful economic engine for Southern California.

‍

The total economic impact reflects spending by Golden Globes attendees and their guests, ancillary events including award dinners, parties and associated celebrations, and local operational expenditures by Dick Clark Productions to produce the internationally recognized broadcast.

‍

This translates into dollars injected into the economy and provides real earnings to a variety of professionals that support the broadcast. In total, the 2026 Golden Globes generated $43.9 million in increased employee earnings and supported approximately 550 full-time equivalent jobs, benefiting a broad range of professionals, from television production crews and event staff to hotel workers, stylists, and security personnel.

‍

Attendee and Visitor Spending Drives Regional Activity

‍

Each January, thousands of nominees, talent, production crews, glam teams, and members of the media travel to Los Angeles for the Golden Globes, “Hollywood’s Party of the Year®” and the first major award show of the season.

‍

Collectively, Golden Globes attendees and related visitors accounted for $39.8 million in economic impact, including:

‍

$18.1 million from personal care services such as stylists, hair and makeup artists, and facialists — marking one of the busiest periods of the year for these professionals in Los Angeles.

‍

$16.4 million in spending at local hotels, restaurants, and retail establishments.

‍

$5.3 million generated through transportation and security services.

‍

“Golden Week” Delivers Additional Boost

‍

The economic benefits begin well before the live telecast. As the first major awards event of the year, the Golden Globes catalyzes a weeklong calendar of brunches, luncheons, dinners, pre-parties, and after-parties across the region leading up to the show.

‍

The economic impact tied to these ancillary events during “Golden Week” totaled $16.8 million, delivering significant revenue to hotels, restaurants, event venues, and hospitality providers throughout Los Angeles.

‍

“The scale of the economic impact shows that the Golden Globes is not just an entertainment event, but also an economic event for Beverly Hills and the Los Angeles area,” said Ben Loftsgaarden, Partner with Greyhill Advisors. “Digging into the numbers reveals the surprising breadth and depth of dollars flowing into the community, to hard working industry professionals and staff behind the scenes that make the week-long celebration a success.”

‍

“We’re incredibly proud of the economic impact the Golden Globes has on our host city. Producing a show of this scale creates hundreds of jobs, supports local businesses, and infuses significant revenue into the surrounding community,” said Bill Bracken, EVP, Production, Dick Clark Productions. “Having staged the Golden Globes in the city of Beverly Hills for so many years, it’s especially rewarding to give back in a meaningful way and contribute to its continued vitality.”

‍

Local Production Investment Strengthens Industry Hub

‍

Producing one of television’s most prestigious awards ceremonies and live broadcasts requires months of preparation and significant local investment. Dick Clark Productions, a Los Angeles–based company, invested heavily in local operations and pours millions of dollars into the local economy each year.

‍

DCP’s production activities for the 2026 Golden Globes generated $77 million in economic impact in the Los Angeles region alone.

‍

A Global Spotlight on Beverly Hills and Los Angeles

‍

Beyond direct economic benefits, the Golden Globes reinforces Los Angeles’ position as the nation’s leading center for cultural content production.

‍

The “83rd Annual Golden Globes,” “ET: Live on the Golden Globes Red Carpet,” and the new primetime special “Golden Eve”) reached a combined 21.77 Million viewers on CBS and Paramount+, according to Nielsen, and 27.07 Million international viewers across 169 territories, placing a global spotlight on the region’s creative workforce, venues, and world-class production capabilities. The city of Beverly Hills received $18.3 Million in broadcast media value from the “83rd Annual Golden Globes” and “Golden Eve,” including visual and verbal on-air exposure.

‍

As the entertainment capital of the world, Beverly Hills and Los Angeles continue to benefit from the Golden Globes’ unique ability to blend cultural significance with measurable economic value by generating jobs, supporting small businesses, and showcasing the region on an international stage.

Inaugural Art Week NYC Announces Participating Cultural Institutions and Nonprofits for Citywide Event

October 16, 2026

Full list of participating institutions: HERE

Art Week NYC today announced the participating cultural institutions and nonprofit organizations for its inaugural citywide event, taking place November 11–14, 2026. Art Week NYC will celebrate New York’s extraordinary art ecosystem by bringing together museums, cultural institutions, galleries, artists, collectors, and audiences across the city. Select museums and institutions are presented in partnership with Bloomberg Connects.

Art Week NYC will feature a full day of public programming presented in partnership with Artforum and the New Museum, Art Week’s primary institutional partner, on Saturday, November 14 at the New Museum Theater.

Under the banner of “Art and the City,” these five talks will feature artists, architects, filmmakers, critics, and writers in five conversations examining the forces shaping art and culture in New York. Topics will include the redesign of notable museum spaces across the city, the growing movement of artists into filmmaking, the economic conditions faced by artists working in New York, and the impact of machine intelligence on studio practice.

This collaboration coincides with a significant moment for the New Museum, including the largest survey to date of the work of Arthur Jafa; the first New York solo museum exhibition of artist Diego Marcon; an exhibition tracing four hundred years in the history of the Bowery; and a new commission by artist Ho Tzu Nyen in the OMA-designed expansion of the museum’s downtown home.

The New Museum’s Toby Devan Lewis Director, Massimiliano Gioni, said, “Art Week NYC is a new initiative that brings the art world together, in a city that has been historically shaped and transformed by artists. We are thrilled that the New Museum will be at its center, as a catalyst for dialogues between artists, architects, curators, filmmakers, and the public: we have always thought of our institution as a place of encounters and conversations—a public plaza for new ideas.”

Art Week NYC will further expand across the city via the participation of leading museums, cultural organizations, nonprofits, and civic institutions.

Designed around the gallery neighborhoods, Art Week NYC will connect programming across Chelsea, Tribeca, the Lower East Side, the Upper East Side, and beyond. The citywide format will encourage audiences to move through New York and experience galleries, museums, cultural institutions, public spaces, and neighborhood destinations as part of one interconnected art week.

“New York City's world-renowned galleries and museums draw art lovers from all over the globe, but they belong first and foremost to the New Yorkers who live here,” said City Council Speaker Julie Menin. “Art Week NYC opens the door for our city's own artists and art lovers to support and be inspired by the creative institutions in our own backyard. The success of our city's cultural sphere has always been built on the voices and hearts of New Yorkers, and this week gives more of them a way to take part.”

“New York City’s cultural landscape is one of our greatest strengths, but it only thrives when New Yorkers are able to experience it, explore it and see themselves as part of it,” said Deputy Speaker Dr. Nantasha Williams. “A thriving cultural ecosystem creates opportunities on both sides: greater visibility and new audiences for artists, and greater access for New Yorkers to the range of art being created and presented across our city. Art Week NYC creates an opportunity to open more doors, bring new audiences into galleries and museums across the city, and introduce people to artists and cultural spaces they may not otherwise encounter. I’m excited about the energy Art Week will bring to our neighborhoods and the opportunity to deepen New Yorkers’ connection to the arts across our city.”

This inaugural four-day event invites collectors, patrons, and art enthusiasts to experience the city’s vibrant art landscape through gallery openings, exhibition walkthroughs, artist talks, public programming, neighborhood walking tours, and retail experiences, all woven into the fabric of New York’s most distinct neighborhoods and cultural institutions.

Highlights include three days of openings and activations with gallery participants invited by Artforum, organized by neighborhood. A full day of public programming, hosted jointly by the New Museum and Artforum, will spotlight artists, curators, writers, and other key voices discussing the forces shaping art and culture today. Additionally, ARTnews will host editor led gallery tours throughout each neighborhood and present conversations exploring the top issues driving the art world today. Art Week NYC will center around a dynamic Midtown hub programmed by ARTnews and Art in America, featuring sponsor activations and conversations with luminaries and leading figures from the art world and beyond.

“We are thrilled to finally bring a dedicated Art Week to the city focused on the galleries. New York City has long been a beacon of creativity and innovation and is home to an unparalleled ecosystem of galleries of all scales with an incredible breadth of expertise,” says Danielle McConnell, Publisher of Artforum. “We’re profoundly grateful to the galleries, museums, and cultural partners for opening their doors to welcome audiences into the spaces where art is best experienced. This week is a celebration of their commitment to keeping art at the center of our city’s cultural heartbeat.”

“Art is more important to more people than ever before, and I’m excited to see Art Week activate the city and its cultural institutions,” said Sarah Douglas, Editor-in-Chief of ARTnews and Art in America. “Every day ARTnews and Art in America bring audiences news from and commentary on the global art world; Art Week will remind us that that world is, at its heart, about community.”

“New York and its incredible institutions, like the New Museum, are offering something truly unprecedented,” says Luke Bahrenburg, President, Art and Luxury Group, Penske Media Corporation. “For one transformative week, we’re inviting art enthusiasts not just to view art but to engage with the ideas, creators, and communities shaping its future.

Penske Media Corporation Acquires Variety

October 9, 2012

Penske Media Corporation purchases the world’s most recognizable trade publication.

October 9, 2012 – LOS ANGELES – Penske Media Corporation (“PMC”), a leading digital media and publishing company, announced today it had purchased Variety from Reed Business Information, part of Reed Elsevier. Terms of the asset purchase agreement between the parties were not disclosed.

Jay Penske, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PMC, said, “Since 1905, Variety has been the world’s premier entertainment news source, and is today one of the most recognized global media brands. We are thrilled to welcome Variety and its exceptional team into the PMC organization. As part of this significant acquisition, we plan to rapidly build upon Variety’s foundation while extending this invaluable brand’s presence across the web, broadcast, mobile, and international markets.”

“We are enthusiastic that PMC will become the new steward of the great Variety franchise, which Reed Elsevier has built over the past 25 years, and the Silverman family for the 80 years before that,” said Neil Stiles, President of Variety. He added, “PMC is uniquely positioned to preserve and build the market presence of Variety. Their shared values and complementary assets provides for many new opportunities for the business model and brand.”

For more than a century, Variety has set the standard for comprehensive and relevant entertainment industry news, with resolute attention to the highest journalistic standards. The Variety business today includes Daily Variety, Weekly Variety, Conferences & Events, along with Variety.com’s searchable archives, interactive box office charting, credits database, film and television data business, in-depth industry calendar, and reviews dating back to 1914.

Mark Kelsey, CEO of Reed Business Information, said: “Variety is an iconic title serving the film and entertainment industry for more than 100 years. With RBI’s increasing focus on data services, it makes sense for us to sell the Variety business. Variety has an incredibly talented team who have successfully innovated and expanded the franchise in industry news and analysis. I have no doubt the business will continue to thrive under PMC’s ownership.”

“We couldn’t be more excited to now operate two of the finest brands in business of entertainment category,” said Nic Paul, SVP Entertainment Sales at PMC. He added, “Deadline.com’s supremacy in breaking news, and Variety’s extraordinary content and industry analysis, coupled with readership that combines key industry decision makers and influencers, creates a compelling value proposition for our partners and advertisers.”

Debt and equity financing for the transaction was provided by affiliates of Third Point LLC. Evercore Partners advised Reed Elsevier on the sale transaction.

PMC brands – Variety, Deadline, TVLine, MovieLine, BGR and Hollywood Life – reach over 113 million monthly unique US visitors and are ranked number 43 on Comscore (as of September 2012).

“PMC has a compelling grasp of traditional and new media industries that will help elevate the D.I.C.E Summit and Awards show to the next level to celebrate the best our industry has to offer – from console to PC to mobile games. With their recent acquisition of Variety, we’re thrilled to work with them to expand coverage of the video games business,” said Martin Rae, President, Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences. “And now with Machinima on board to support our awards show with their creative staff, original programming, and network of YouTube affiliates and directors, this will be an exciting year for AIAS and our members.”

“We’ve been eager to expand our entertainment coverage to the gaming industry, but waited for the right opportunity to enter this ascending marketplace—forging a long-term partnership with the AIAS for the 2013 D.I.C.E. Summit and Awards is the perfect way for PMC to make such an entrance, and we’re thrilled with the opportunity,” said Jay Penske, PMC Founder, Chairman, and CEO. “Since our founding in 2004, we’ve watched video games become a multi-billion dollar industry and a hugely influential contributor to the entertainment industry as a whole. Through all of our branded channels and media platforms, including our premier entertainment trade Variety, we’ll be providing the coverage and attention that the gaming industry has deserved for years–as such an incredibly important part of the entertainment ecosystem.”

“The D.I.C.E. Awards are a huge staple among the gaming community, and Machinima is proud to be the exclusive online destination for the show,” said Allen DeBevoise, Chairman, Co-Founder, and CEO of Machinima. “Our network of content creators, combined with our millions of viewers, are a perfect match for the established D.I.C.E. brand and event.”

Machinima, which boasts 253 million visitors each month (as of October 2012), and 2.3 billion video views per month, will deploy dozens of YouTube broadcasters to cover the D.I.C.E Awards show on February 7, 2013, (at The Joint in the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Las Vegas) with engaging interactive content, exclusive features and retrospectives with The Road to D.I.C.E., as well as interviews with industry luminaries to excite the millions of video game fans who tune into their original online shows each week.

Nominees for the 16th D.I.C.E. Awards will be announced the week of January 21, 2013. Registration for the 2013 D.I.C.E. Summit and the 16th D.I.C.E. Awards is open at www.dicesummit.org.
