The organizer, Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), is an organization of journalists who cover the United States film industry, but are affiliated with publications outside North America. Since the 5th Golden Globe Awards (1947), the award is presented every year, except from 1953 to 1958. The nominations from 1947 and 1948 are not available.John Williams is the artist with most nominations (19); those resulted in 4 wins. Dimitri Tiomkin had the same number of wins, but out of only 5 nominations. Other notable achievers include Maurice Jarre (10 nominations, 3 wins) and Alan Menken (5 nominations, 3 wins). Artists like Jerry Goldsmith (9 nominations) and Michel Legrand (7 nominations) were nominated several times, but never received the award.
