The big honor, which was once called Miss Golden Globe but in 2017 was ramed Golden Globe Ambassador, has previously been bestowed upon the likes of Dakota Johnson, Melanie Griffith, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Rumer Willis, as the honor goes to the child of a star. Meet the famous offspring who've helped usher in the Golden Globe winners at the annual awards show over the last 12 years.

Three-time Golden Globe nominee Spike Lee and producer Tonya Lewis Lee's daughter, Satchel, and their son, Jackson, are ambassadors for the 2021 Golden Globes. Jackson is making history as the show's first Black male ambassador.

Pierce Brosnan's youngest sons, Dylan and Paris Brosnan, were named ambassadors for the 2020 Golden Globes. While this was their first time on the big stage, they've both been working in the modeling industry for several years. ET's Lauren Zima spoke with Dylan and Paris about the advice their famous father offered them ahead of the awards show.
"Be kind, take it all in and be compassionate," Paris said, recounting their father's advice for both their time at the Golden Globes and life in general. The 2020 Golden Globes also marked the first time brothers held the ambassador title at the annual awards show.
2019
Just a week after Idris Elba was named People's Sexiest Man Alive, his daughter, Isan, was revealed as the 2019 Golden Globe Ambassador. "My heart stopped," Isan, then 16, told ET in 2018 of her reaction to being named Golden Globe Ambassador. "I was like, jumping and screaming and all over the house, like, 'Are you sure? Are you sure they picked me?' I was not even completely sure."
2018
Dwayne Johnson's daughter was 16 when she became the 2018 Golden Globe Ambassador, the first year the honor was changed from its former title, Miss Golden Globe. "I've been lucky enough to grow up in a household with strong role models and feel so honored to represent the HFPA for its 75th anniversary," Garcia Johnson said in a statement at the time. "As the newly minted Golden Globe Ambassador, I hope to serve as a role model to young people everywhere and empower them to speak out on issues they are passionate about." Simone also shared with ET the advice her famous father gave her for the big nigjt. "The best piece of advice that my dad gave me was just to have and live in the moment," she noted. "I'm keeping that in the back of my mind with everything I do on this journey."
2017
Sylvester Stallone's teenage daughters, Sophia, Sistine and Scarlet Stallone, hit the Golden Globe stage together in 2017. It was the first time the Hollywood Foreign Press Association enlisted the help of three individuals to take on the role of Miss Golden Globe. Their famous father gushed about the "surreal" news to ET in late 2016, saying, "I'm just along for the ride... I'm stunned that life has moved by so quickly, and my daughters turned out so wonderfully. I have to give [my wife] Jennifer all the credit."
2016
Jamie Foxx teared up when his daughter, Corinne Foxx, was announced as the young lady who would hand out statuettes for the 2016 ceremony. ET spoke with the Oscar winner at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association celebration where the announcement was made in November 2015. "Man, I'm over the moon, man!" he gushed. "People don't understand, my daughter's always been cool… ain't never ask me for nothing." Corinne, then 21, was just as thrilled about the honor. "It feels great! I wanted to be Miss Golden Globe for so long and I didn't know how you go about it," she told ET at the time. "And then they told me that they wanted me to do it and I was just over the moon for an hour -- just pacing in my room [with] so much energy I didn't know what to do with it. I'm just happy it's out and everyone knows."
2015
Kelsey Grammer's daughter, Greer Grammer, was 22 when she was crowned Miss Golden Globe. The Awkward actress, whose dad is a three-time Golden Globe winner, said she was "flattered to have been chosen" in a statement in December 2015. “It’s truly an honor to be included in this experience that so many incredible men and women have been a part of. I didn’t even tell my dad because I knew he’d tell everybody and it had to be a secret until the party," she said. "I’m so excited. It’s going to be a wonderful year and so much fun." She also revealed that she knew she wanted to follow in her father's acting footsteps since she was five.
2014
Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick's daughter, Sosie Bacon, graced the Golden Globe stage in 2014. "I am so grateful to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for naming me this year's Miss Golden Globe," she said in a statement in November 2013. "As a young actress who is just beginning my career, it is truly an honor to be a part of such a special night in film and television. I can only hope to continue the legacy and tradition of Miss Golden Globe by following in the footsteps of my predecessors." At the time, Sosie had appeared on her mom's show, The Closer; she made her acting debut in 2005's Loverboy.
2013
Now more well known for appearing with her stepmom on the reality show Mrs. Eastwood and Company, Clint Eastwood and Frances Fisher's daughter, Francesca Eastwood, was named Miss Golden Globe for the 2013 awards show. The blonde beauty took after her parents -- she's been acting since the age of two.
2012
The 2012 Golden Globe Awards marked actress Andie MacDowell and former model Paul Qualley's daughter, Rainey Qualley's, first major Hollywood appearance. Rainey has since made her big-screen debut in 2012's Mighty Fine and released a country album. Her sister, Margaret Qualley, is also an actress.
2011
Gia Mantegna, daughter of Golden Globe nominee Joe Mantegna, told the HFPA that it was "such an honor" to become part of the Miss Golden Globe tradition. "I’m only 20, and I feel there is so much ahead of me," she said at the time. "To be Miss Golden Globe is hugely astounding and really exciting.” She's added plenty to her acting resume since then, including roles on Criminal Minds, The Middle and The Dead Girls Detective Agency.
2010
It was a rainy day when Alfre Woodard accompanied her daughter, Mavis Spencer, to the 2010 Golden Globe Awards! It was sunnier when she was nominated in the fall of 2009, at which time the equestrienne showjumper said, “It means a lot to me as a young person to be a part of something with such a rich history. I know how my mom feels when she brings home a statue. And to hand someone a token of their accomplishments when they're elated will just be really cool. I have memories of my mom traipsing off to the Globes, but this year she's with me! And we're going to have so much fun.” Mavis was 18 when she received the honor. She had already appeared in Teen Vogue and InStyle and continued to model and study acting at Columbia University.
2009
Already known simply for being the eldest daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, Rumer Willis was also bit by the acting bug. Her best-known acting roles were in 2008's House Bunny and a recurring role on Empire, but she became a household name after winning Dancing With the Stars in 2015. That wasn't her only reality show stint; in 2019, she competed on the first season of The Masked Singer.
