Some details are emerging about how this year’s Golden Globe will be presented, with Deadline reporting on Tuesday that the ceremony hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will be broadcast live on NBC on February 28 in New York and Los Angeles – the first time of the show will be bi-coastal.
New York’s Fey will be the live co-host of The Rainbow Room in Manhattan, while Los Angeles ‘Poehler will be the live co-host of the Globes’ usual home at the Beverly Hilton.
Additional details have yet to be worked out, but a bicastal show would allow more New York nominees and presenters to participate in a live setting, with Covid certainly impacting travel plans. No presenters have been announced yet.
The Globes, like the rest of the film awards season, had to push their 2021 ceremonies because of the pandemic and, in June, abandoned their usual January date to February 28. That had been the date of the Oscars, which changed its ceremony to April 25, 2021, the most recent date of all time.
The news arrives on the eve of nominations for the 78th annual Globe, which are being announced Wednesday from 8h35 ET / 5h35 PT. Sarah Jessica Parker and Taraji P. Henson will appear live on NBC’s Today show to announce the main categories that honored the best of the year in cinema and TV, with all categories being announced in a simultaneous broadcast on the digital channels of sister cable E !, as well as on GoldenGlobes.com.
The Golden Globes are produced by dick clark Produções in association with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
