Hollywood’s awards season officially got underway with the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. The star-studded ceremony marked the first major awards night of the year, setting the tone for the road to the Oscars.
Comedian Nikki Glaser returned as host for the second consecutive year, presiding over a lively evening celebrating the best in film, television, streaming content, stand-up comedy and podcasts. Early buzz suggested that One Battle After Another and Sinners would dominate the night—and both films featured prominently across major categories.
