Over the years the Golden Globe Awards have come to be the third most watched awards show after the Academy Awards and The Grammys. The Award show is telecast to more than 150 countries worldwide. The Golden Globe Award for Best Actress Motion Picture Musical or Comedywas introduced in 1950. There were two recipients for the award in 1977 (Diane Keaton/ Marsha Mason) and 1978 (Ellen Burstyn/ Maggie Smith). The official title of the award was changed in 2005 to Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture-Musical or Comedy.
