The Golden Globes, ordinarily the star-studded party that heralds the beginning of awards season, will look very different this year in the wake of the coronavirus crisis. But, what remains the same is the event’s power to shape the awards race and build momentum for the actors, directors and producers hoping to ride the wave all the way to the Oscars podium. Ahead of the ceremony, we round up all of the details we know so far, from the date and location to the nominees.
When will the Golden Globes 2021 take place?
The 78th annual Golden Globe Awards are set to be presented from 8pm EST on 28 February 2021. Although the ceremony is usually scheduled for early January, the pandemic has delayed proceedings. When it was announced in June 2020 that the Oscars would be pushed back to 25 April 2021, the Golden Globes snagged the original Oscars air date. The Golden Globes will be followed by the Critics Choice Awards on 7 March, the Screen Actors Guild Awards on 4 April and the BAFTAs on 11 April. The hope for awards bodies is that by extending eligibility periods, filmmakers are given more time to finish and release their work in an ever-changing landscape. As a result, late entries such as Shaka King’s Judas and the Black Messiah and Sam Levinson’s Malcolm & Marie could be in with a shot.
Where will the Golden Globes 2021 take place?
The international ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel, which has hosted the Golden Globes since 1961, will be the setting for this year’s ceremony. However, with coronavirus still circulating in California, the show is widely expected to be either fully or partially virtual. Such a format proved to be successful last September with the 2020 Emmy Awards.
When were the Golden Globes 2021 nominations be announced?
Nominations were unveiled at 8am EST on 3 February 2021.

Who will host the Golden Globes 2021?
Comedy legends Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are set to host for the fourth time. They previously took to the stage in 2013, 2014, and 2015, delivering quips about everything from Kathryn Bigelow’s marriage to James Cameron to Meryl Streep’s record-breaking winning streak.
Who will win a Golden Globe in 2021?
Frontrunners for the Golden Globe for Best Picture: Drama range from Chloé Zhao’s Nomadland and Regina King’s One Night in Miami to Aaron Sorkin’s The Trial of the Chicago 7 and David Fincher’s Mank. The Best Picture: Comedy or Musical category might be more unpredictable, with Ryan Murphy’s The Prom, Thomas Kail’s Hamilton and Jason Woliner’s Borat Subsequent Moviefilm vying for prominence. Meanwhile, when it comes to the TV awards, recent favourites such as The Crown, Schitt’s Creek, The Queen’s Gambit, and The Undoing will likely dominate.
However, two winners have already been anointed. Jane Fonda has been named the recipient of this year’s Cecil B DeMille Award for outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment. Previous honorees include Tom Hanks, Oprah Winfrey, Barbra Streisand and this year’s recipient’s father, Henry Fonda. “For more than five decades, Jane’s breadth of work has been anchored in her unrelenting activism, using her platform to address some of the most important social issues of our time,” said Ali Sar, the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, in a statement. “Her undeniable talent has gained her the highest level of recognition, and while her professional life has taken many turns, her unwavering commitment to evoking change has remained.”
The other pioneer to be recognised is Norman Lear, the creator of groundbreaking US sitcoms All in the Family (1971 to 1979) and Sanford and Son (1972 to 1977). He will become the third recipient of the Carol Burnett Award for outstanding contributions to TV, after Ellen DeGeneres and Burnett herself.
