The Official DIS Golden Globes LIVE WATCH PARTY Thread!!! TONITE

[Imzadi]

It's that time of year! Yet, the Golden Globes are very early this year. They are the official kick off the live entertainment award show season and all of our annual LIVE WATCH PARTY threads! This is my favorite time of year on the DIS.

The Red Carpet is back on E! on TV. Last year, the GGs decided to only stream the Red Carpet. Since it's back on TV, that must not have gone over well last year.

So, get ready for lots of dresses to talk about.

Some [drunken] speeches to laugh at cry or be forced to sit through.
And awards handed out.

Host: Comedian Nikki Glaser.
Her standout performance at the Netflix Tom Brady roast last spring is what caught the attention of Globes producers. In the same vein, Nikki promises light roasting and laughs.

Onto to the awards:
Everyone is invited. Newbies welcome! Load up on munchies & drinks, wine & booze welcome. Including the Red Carpet, it's 5 hours depending on when you arrive or if you stay for the whole event! Pop in and out any time throughout!

Start times:
East Coast (EST):
The Red Carpet starts at 6:00PM (ET) on E!
The Award Show starts at 8PM (ET) on CBS.
It will also stream on Paramount+.

West Coast (PST):
The Red Carpet starts at 3:00PM (PT) on E!
The Award Show starts at 5PM (PT) on CBS.
It will also stream on Paramount+.


This is a NO SPELLING POLICE THREAD!
The Spelling Police will be off duty and possibly slurring their own typing by the end of the evening. Typos allowed!

Let's have another fun evening!

 

[Imzadi]

A little heads up for newbies: The Red Carpet segment goes really quickly on this thread. People are typing like crazy all at the same time, seeing different dresses, possibly on different streaming platforms this year.

If you post something or ask a question and it seems to get ignored you are NOT being ignored. ) Everyone is just watching, typing & posting so quickly before the dress goes off the screen. We do most of the reading, scrolling back & posting back to each others comments during the COMMERCIALS! Your posts will get a response then.

Once the show starts, it slows down to a more comfortable pace. Just hang in with us! It's going to be a great evening.

Reposting some fun facts from an article from 2015.

Golden Globes 2015: 10 fun facts about Hollywood's most free-spirited awards show

From: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/golden-globes-2015-10-fun-facts-show-article-1.2070172


1. The stars can eat if they arrive on time

Even though the Globes serve a three-course meal catered by the Beverly Hilton Hotels chefs, dinner is served to nominees and guests closer to lunch time around 3:30 p.m. Why so early? Producers dont want dining noises, such as the clinking of silverware, to be heard during the telecast. So by the time the show begins at 5 p.m. PST, dinner has already been served. The good news: The attendees are still served alcohol, which is why guests often seem tipsy (and get tipsier) throughout the three-hour show.

2. Drinking with the stars

The champagne will definitely be flowing during the glitzy event, with 400 magnums of Moet & Chandon made available for guests, one bottle per table. The celebs can get even get the party started early, since 1,500 bottles of Moet minis will be given out on the red carpet.

3. Mixing and mingling

During commercial breaks, the stars love to get up and mingle with each other, exchanging pleasantries, air kisses and posing for selfies. The banquet-style seating encourages these kinds of casual interactions, but since its a live broadcast, those freewheeling conversations sometimes mean its a scramble to get attendees back into their seats on time. In order to get the A-listers seated before the show comes back on air, announcements are made at mid-commercial break and at the one-minute mark so stars can make their way back to their seats.

4. Amy Poehler and Tina Fey (the 2014 hosts) belong to a very exclusive club

In the history of the 72-year-old awards show, just six celebrities have hosted the Golden Globes. Besides this years returning hosts Fey and Poehler, the show has only been emceed by four other people: Andy Williams (mid-1960s), John Larroquette and Janine Turner (1995) and Ricky Gervais (2011-2013) and this year again.

Poehler is also the only host to win a Golden Globe while hosting the show, winning for her lead role on Parks and Recreation in 2014.

5. Frank Sinatra unwittingly started an A-list tradition

The Golden Globes are hosted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, whose members are comprised of journalists. HFPA members were tasked with handing out the awards until the Globes were hijacked by the Rat Pack in 1958, when Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. stormed the stage with whiskey and cigarettes in tow to hand out the trophies. The HFPA asked the trio to repeat their performance the following year, and celebs have been tasked with giving out awards on stage ever since.

6. Celebs skipped the 2008 Golden Globes

Out of solidarity with the Writers Guild of America writers strike, no actors attended the awards show that year. Instead, the winners were announced via a live news conference hosted by entertainment news personalities. So how did the winners finally receive their awards? According to TV Guides oral history about the 2008 Globes, Entourage star Jeremy Piven was given his statuette in his driveway.

And they skipped it again last year, in 2022. See first post for short explanation.

7. Not a Golden Globes nominee? Good luck getting in!

While its one of the most coveted tickets in town, its also one of the hardest to get, especially if youre not nominated. Held annually at the Hiltons International Ballroom, the space holds 111 tables. With 10-12 people seated at each table, that means less than 1,300 people will score invites to one of Hollywoods biggest nights. To compare, the Dolby Theater, which hosts the Academy Awards, seats 3,400 people.

8. The Globes is also the rare awards show with empty seats

Unlike other awards shows, the Golden Globes use no seat fillers. So when Clooney goes up to collect his Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award, no seat filler will take his place.

9. The Golden Globe weighs more than you think

When someone wins an award for the first time, he or she generally remarks on heavy the statuette feels. When it comes to the Globes, theres a reason for this, since the trophy weighs 5.5 pounds. To give some perspective, thats about the average weight of a bulldog puppy.

10. The events red carpet is almost as long as Noah's Ark

Noah's Ark, which in Biblical lore housed two of every animal on Earth, is generally considered to have measured 450 feet in length. Keep that in mind when you see the Golden Globe red carpet, since it measures around 437 feet which should be just enough to fit nearly every movie and TV star in Hollywood.

 

[K and K's Mommy]

Thanks for the reminder! I’m hoping to watch, but I am so behind on movie watching. I’ve seen Wicked, Dune, and Conclave. My daughter and I are the ones who watch all the Oscar nominated films. We need to get going!

 

[Hillbeans]

My favorite awards show! I’m excited to see Nikki’s monologue.

 

[Dan Murphy]

Great to see you Hill! You're missed here.

 

[Dan Murphy]

It's that time of year! Yet, the Golden Globes

 

[Nancy]

Looking forward to the red carpet and hoping for a funny opening.

 

[Mizzoufan]

Rooting for Wicked!! In my opinion the Director and Defying Gravity should have been nominated.

Also, shocked nomination for Grosterquie
Huge slap to Nicey Nash. My opinion again.

 

[TB'sWidow]

Thanks @Imzadi for the invite I’m hoping to be able to participate this time ! Won’t see the red carpet so counting on everyone to post about it. Definitely will see the show !

 

[Karin1984]

Still trying to make sense of Hugh Grant's nomination in the category 'musical or comedy'.

I have seen Heretic. It was not a musical or a comedy

(For those who do not know, it is a horror movie)

Sometimes, it's a strategic move. There is a series called The Bear. It is not a comedy, people have said it's a drama. Yet the producers got it placed it in the comedy category. As the acting is more substantial than the other light, fluffy comedy nominees in the category, the show keeps winning in that category.

 

[Mizzoufan]

I saw Ted Danson was getting the Carol Burnett award. Viola Davis the Cecil B Demile award

 

[Mizzoufan]

The red carpet is streaming on Roku. FYI
