Starting with the 9th Golden Globe Awards, the Golden Globes split the Acting and Best Picture awards into Drama and Musical-or-Comedy categories. As the Golden Globe spins Wendell Wittler Since 1951, the only time the awards were reunified was in 1953. HFPS Golden Globes Page This year, the award of "Best Picture" went to The Robe.
