The Golden Globe Awards in 2021 will be broadcast live from a separate coast for the first time, with returning co-hosts Tina Fey in New York and Amy Poehler in Los Angeles, Variety reports. Fey will lead the event from the Rainbow Room in Rockefeller Center, while Poehler will lead the festival at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where the Golden Globes are usually held.
This is the fourth time Fey and Poehler have shared Golden Globes hosting duties; the pair were three consecutive years, from 2013-2015 ,. As previously announced, Satchel and Jackson Lee – children of filmmaker and three-time Golden Globe winner Spike Lee, and producer / philanthropist Tonya Lewis Lee – will serve as Golden Globe ambassadors.
Details on how presenters and nominees will participate, whether personal, factual or a combination, are unclear. Several awards had to fit the plans amid the pandemic. This year, the Golden Globe ceremony was pushed back almost two months from the fact that it usually takes place annually.
The bicoastal Golden Globes news comes on the eve of the announcement of nominations on Wednesday morning, when Sarah Jessica Parker and Taraji P. Henson will announce the main category nominees live on NBCs Today Show.
The 78th Golden Globe Awards will be broadcast live on Sunday 28 February at 20:00 ET on NBC.
