The Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced Wednesday that 16-year-old Isan Elba will assume the ambassador title for the 76th annual Golden Globes Awards in January.

Which Actor Has Won the Most Oscars and Golden Globes Combined?
To some actors, winning a statuette—almost any kind, as long as it’s gold and shiny—is of the utmost importance. Despite her numerous musical and business achievements, Rihanna has spoken about her desire to win an Academy Award, although not many others admit to their naked Oscar ambitions. On the other hand, Johnny Depp has said that he doesn’t ever want to win one. Marlon Brando took his disdain one step further by refusing to pick up his Academy Award for The Godfather , and instead sent actress Sacheen Littlefeather to protest the treatment of Native Americans in the film industry. So should actors care about their award ceremony success?
