- Story Text: Comedian and host of the 74th Golden Globe Awards, Jimmy Fallon, helped roll out the red carpet on Wednesday (January 4) as part of the show preparations in Beverly Hills.
Fallon rolled the carpet down the drive of the Beverly Hilton hotel with the help of show producers and this year's three Miss Golden Globes, Sophia, Sistine and Scarlet Stallone, daughters of actor Sylvester Stallone.
Fallon, who hosts his own late-night comedy show, said he is excited to host an award show that honors so many different parts of the Hollywood industry.
"I'm so excited, this is going to be fun, I love award shows, this is the award show to do. It's a mix tape of best of movies, best of TV, best of music all in one award show. So, if you haven't seen the movies, you go, I didn't see that movie, it doesn't matter because you're going to see somebody from 'The Walking Dead' or some show you've seen, 'Stranger Things' or O.J. - O.J. is not going to be here but we tried. Apparently he's in jail but we're going to figure it out. But, you'll see all the big stars. Everyone is coming, Leonardo DiCaprio is coming Ben Affleck is coming and a lot of crazy guests and it's in this tiny room that you can see behind me," said Fallon.
Both Fallon and the show producers, Barry Adelman and Allen Shapiro, say it will be hard to avoid the hot topic of politics at this year's show.
"We'll have to bring up what everyone's talking about in the monologue but this is the first party of the year and hopefully not the last. Let's try to kick it off in a good way," said Fallon.
"Well, look, I think that's up to the audiences. Obviously it was a hard fought election and some people were happy, some people weren't but the Golden Globes has always been an opportunity no matter what the year has been like to kind of kick back and just have fun for one night and we hope everybody does," said Adelman.
Musical "La La Land," indie grief drama "Manchester by the Sea," and black coming of age film "Moonlight" are leading awards buzz in a season that has been dominated by small, intimate fare.
"La La Land," a romantic musical about two artists struggling in Hollywood, has a leading seven Golden Globe nods, including for best musical/comedy, stars Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, and writer-director Damien Chazelle.
The drama category, both at the Globes and elsewhere, appears to be a close race between "Moonlight," a low-budget movie about an impoverished black boy struggling with sexual identity in Miami, and "Manchester by the Sea" a study of family grief starring Casey Affleck.
The Golden Globes, chosen by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, are known for springing surprises and its 85 or so members have no say in nominations or voting for the Oscars.
The Golden Globes will be held in Beverly Hills, California on Sunday (January 08). - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
