Concurrent with the announcement of the 2011 Golden Globe nominees, IMDb.com, Inc. (www.imdb.com), the authoritative source of information on movies, TV and celebrities, today announced the launch of its awards season news bureau and annual “Road to the Globes” editorial feature.

“IMDb’s editorial team is passionate about providing the most comprehensive and accurate awards season coverage,” said IMDb’s senior editor, Mark Englehart. “We’re obsessed with posting all related information – from nominations to winners to event photos – faster and more accurately than any other news source. This year we’ve leveraged new site functionality and popular social networks to make our awards season coverage even more participatory and engaging than in past years.”

Beginning today, IMDb’s expert editorial staff is available upon request to participate in print, broadcast and online interviews about the 2011 awards season. Interview topics include:

• The 68th Annual Golden Globe nominees.
• Early speculation on Oscar nominees and winners.
• Commentary on the popularity of awards contenders with IMDb’s millions of unique monthly visitors who visit, vote and make lists as well.
• Commentary on any of the following topics: foreign films; overlooked performances; underrated films; the best independent and genre films of the year; celebrity news; the unique importance of the different awards (winning Globes versus Oscars); prognostication on the broadcast award shows (i.e. who will be a good host; which shows have the most compelling nominees).

IMDb’s just-launched “Road to the Globes” (www.imdb.com/globes) is an annual editorial section that obsessively tracks the Golden Globe race from early speculation to post-award show parties. The fan-favorite resource center includes the following: full lists of nominees for all major awards and guild honors; detailed information about and photos of nominees; user- and editorial-generated lists; fan voting; photo galleries; interactive ballots; videos; and a news desk featuring breaking news from the top entertainment news sources.
