A Look At The 2021 Golden Globes
February 26, 2021
As February comes to a close, the televised award ceremonies commence, starting with the Golden Globes. For the 78th consecutive year, NBC will broadcast the Golden Globes award show to the public on Feb. 28 at 8:00 p.m. EST.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a group of around 90 international journalists based in California, presents the Golden Globe Awards. Since the beginning of the show in 1944, HFPA has given awards for excellence in international and American film and American television.
For this year’s program, nominations for the various accolades — which range from best motion picture to best actress — were announced Feb. 3 on the TODAY show by previous winners Sarah Jessica Parker and Taraji P. Henson.
Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, organizers have planned the event as not only a virtual affair, but a bicoastal one, too. Four-time hosts and comedians Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will announce the winning recipients from two separate locations. Fey plans to tune in from Manhattan, New York in the Rainbow Room, while Poehler has prepared to host from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in California.
In addition to the regular presentations, the show plans to mention other special people, including 15-time nominee and seven-time winner Jane Fonda and television trendsetter Norman Lear.

Although the ceremony normally airs in early January, the pandemic has delayed production. This has led to rising tensions between competing award shows that began in June 2020, when the announcement of the postponed Oscars’s date, Apr. 25, 2021, became public. With that, the Golden Globes took the original Oscars air date.
