The Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy was first awarded by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association as a separate category in 1951. Previously, there was a single award for "Best Actor in a Motion Picture" but the splitting allowed for recognition of it and the Best Actor – Drama.
The formal title has varied since its inception. In 2006, it was officially called: "Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy". As of 2013, the wording is "Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy".
Notes:
- "†" indicates an Academy Award-winning performance.
- "‡" indicates an Academy Award-nominated performance that same year.
- "$" indicates an Academy Award-nominated actor for a different role that year.
