Hollywood’s 2019 awards season kicks off tonight with the 76th annual presentation of the Golden Globe Awards. The Golden Globes, which honor the best in film and TV, are presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and offer an early peek at this year’s possible Oscar contenders.
Here’s how to join the nearly 20 million viewers expected to tune in Sunday night.
“Killing Eve” star Sandra Oh and “Saturday Night Live” alum Andy Sandberg will team up to host this year’s Golden Globes. Jessica Chastain, a past Golden Globe winner for “Zero Dark Thirty,” and Sam Rockwell, who won for “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” are among those scheduled to present.
This year’s Golden Globes will debut the Carol Burnett Award, which “honors the highest level of achievement” in television. The first-ever recipient of the designation is Carol Burnett herself, whose career in television has spanned seven decades. Burnett is best-known for her CBS variety show, “The Carol Burnett Show,” which ran from 1967-1978 and was the first show of its kind to be hosted by a woman.
“The Big Lebowski’s” Jeff Bridges will receive this year’s Cecil B. deMille Award, which honors a “talented individual who has made a lasting impact on the world of entertainment.” “The Dude” will be in good company; former recipients include Audrey Hepburn, Robert De Niro, Harrison Ford, George Clooney, Jodie Foster, Robin Williams and Oprah Winfrey.
Unlike the Academy Awards, the Golden Globes divide movies into two categories: dramas and musicals/comedies. Here’s a look at this year’s nominees:
