It's been only two weeks since the Golden Globes, but the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has wasted no time in announcing the date for the 2016 awards ceremony.

Next year's telecast will take place on Sunday, January 10, 2016 from 8-11 p.m. EST (5-8 p.m. PST). It will be the 73rd annual Golden Globes ceremony.

"We look forward to follow this year's successful Golden Globe Awards by celebrating what looks like another exceptional year in both film and television," said HFPA president Theo Kingma in a statement.

The 2015 Golden Globes, hosted for the third and final time by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, scored 19.3 million viewers for NBC. No word yet on who may be hosting in 2016, but they have some big shoes to fill.
