Gold Derby

Gold Derby, the original awards platform in Hollywood, was established in 2000 by Tom O’Neil, a renowned expert in awards and the author of notable books like “Movie Awards,” “The Emmys,” and “The Grammys” (published by Penguin Putnam). In 2005, the site was licensed to the Los Angeles Times and became part of their new awards initiative, TheEnvelope, where Gold Derby transformed into a blog and its message boards found a new home. In November 2010, O’Neil regained ownership of Gold Derby and relaunched it as an independent site, separate from the Times. By July 2015, Gold Derby was acquired by Penske Media Corporation, which also owns Variety, Deadline, TV Line, and WWD.
