After a year of controversy that was a result of several accusations, one of Hollywood’s most popular events, the Golden Globes, is back with a full-scale, live awards ceremony. The 80th edition of the Golden Globes is scheduled to take place on January 10 (January 11 IST) this year at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. Comedian-actor Jerrod Carmichael will host the ceremony while Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Tracy Morgan will be presenters.
Last year, the Golden Globes awards was boycotted by media companies and celebrities and was not broadcasted as a sign of protest against the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which faced accusations of lack of diversity and sexism among their nominees and HFPA members, and ethical and financial lapses among members of the HFPA.
Hence, the event was cut short and took place in private without a TV show, a star-studded red carpet, hosts and presenters, the press, or even a live stream. The winners were announced in a press release.
However, this year’s line-up of nominations and methods of selection are reportedly expected to be more diverse, following the accusations of lack of inclusivity levelled against the HFPA last year. The nominations for Best Film include The Fabelmans, Elvis, Avatar: The Way of Water, and Top Gun: Maverick. The Best Actor nominees include Austin Butler for Elvis and Hugh Jackman for The Son. Meanwhile, Ana De Armas and Olivia Coleman are among the nominees for the Best Actress title for their roles in Blonde and Empire of Light respectively.

Jr NTR and SS Rajamouli are also currently in LA to attend the ceremony.
