The 2021 Golden Globe Awards will be broadcast live from different backs for the first time, with the return of co-hosts Tina Fey in New York and Amy Poehler in Los Angeles, Variety reports. Fey will lead the event in the Rainbow Room at the Rockefeller Center, while Poehler will lead the festivities at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where the Golden Globes usually take place.
This will be the fourth time that Fey and Poehler have shared the Golden Globe hosting functions; the pair co-hosted three consecutive years, from 2013-2015. As previously announced, Satchel and Jackson Lee – sons of filmmaker and three-time Golden Globe winner Spike Lee, and producer / philanthropist Tonya Lewis Lee – will serve as Golden Globe Ambassadors.
The details of how presenters and nominees will participate – whether in person, virtually or in some combination – are unclear. Several award programs had to adjust their plans in the midst of the pandemic. This year’s Golden Globes ceremony has been postponed by almost two months, since it normally takes place annually.
Golden Globe’s bicastal news arrives on the eve of the nomination announcement on Wednesday morning, when Sarah Jessica Parker and Taraji P. Henson will reveal the nominees for the main category live on NBC Today Show.
The 78th Golden Globe Awards will be broadcast live on Sunday, February 28 at 8:00 pm ET on NBC.
