Amazon is celebrating its Golden Globe Wins and wants to share the good feeling with the world.

The top etailer is dropping its annual subscription price for its Prime service from $99 to $73 for those who sign up this weekend and is streaming all episodes of season one and two of Mozart in the Jungle, an Amazon original series, for free to anyone interested in watching the award-winning program, according to a company release.

The special celebration offerings start today at 9 p.m. PT and will be inactive come Sunday, Jan. 17, at 11:59 p.m. Those who are not Amazon users just need to download the free Amazon video app to watch the video streamed program. To sign up for the limited-time Prime offer click here.

Mozart in the Jungle took home the 2016 Golden Globe award for Best Musical or Comedy Series, while its lead star, Gael García Bernal, earned the title of Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy Series.

This year's win marks four total Golden Globe awards for Amazon.

"What an incredible honor to be recognized by the Hollywood Foreign Press two years in a row," said Roy Price, VP of Amazon Studios, in the release.

Last September Amazon offered a similar Prime price drop after another of its original series, Transparent, won five Emmys.
