In Golden Globe Awards history, Meryl Streep has received the most nominations. She has specifically received 30 Golden Globe Award nominations, winning eight—more nominations, and more competitive (non-honorary) wins than any other actor (male or female). Meryl Streep has stated that being nominated and winning Golden Globe Awards on different occasions have for her been great personal accomplishments. This is because it is publicly known that the Golden Globe Award is an American accolade bestowed by 93 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), recognizing excellence in film and television, both domestic and foreign. The annual formal ceremony and dinner at which the awards are presented are a major part of the film industry's awards season, which culminates each year with the U.S. Academy Awards.
