What are the Golden Globes?
The Golden Globes are the first film awards show in the calendar year. Held by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association since 1943, the event recognizes excellence in both foreign and domestic film and TV shows from the past year.
As the leadoff awards show each year, the Golden Globes are known for being a bit wild and unpredictable—a boozier cousin to the glitzy Oscars, if you will.
Where are the Golden Globes held?
Since 1961, the Golden Globes have always been held in the swanky International Ballroom of The Beverly Hilton hotel. The massive room usually holds up to 1,300 of the biggest names in Hollywood. The pandemic has changed that this year, though, with both the hosts and attendees attending the ceremony virtually.
Who’s hosting the Golden Globes?
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who previously hosted the awards in 2013 and 2015, will take the torch back once again from last year’s Golden Globes host, Ricky Gervais.
What time do the Golden Globes start?
This year’s Golden Globes will be televised on NBC live on Sunday, February 28, 2021, at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, or 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time.
The 2021 Golden Globe nominations
As usual, the nominees for the Golden Globes represent the best in film and television. Many of the nominations came from streaming platforms like Netflix, HBO, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+, where you can watch all the nominated movies and TV shows before the awards start.
