With the Golden Globes less than a week away, we're entering awards season.
The Golden Globes celebrate the best of the previous year on both the big and small screens, and this year's nominees include shows such as "Schitt's Creek" and "The Queen's Gambit" and motion pictures such as "Soul." This year, there was a total of 42 nominations across 25 different categories.
Just as the shows themselves had to be modified in order to accommodate the current circumstances of the world, the ways in which we'll be viewing one of Hollywood's biggest awards shows will also be modified.
When are the Golden Globes 2021?
For the first time in the 78-year-long history of the Golden Globes, the nominees were announced virtually this year. The event itself will take place on Sunday, Feb. 28, beginning at 8 p.m. EST and ending at 11 p.m. EST on NBC. It will be hosted on both the East and West Coasts by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, four-time hosts of the show. Fey will host from the Rainbow Room inside 30 Rockefeller Center, while Poehler will host from the traditional site of the show, The Beverly Hilton.
How to watch the Golden Globes
If you don't have cable, you can stream the Golden Globes with a Hulu + Live TV subscription, a Sling TV subscription or with a YouTube TV subscription to watch live TV from your mobile device or Smart TV. If you don't have a subscription, don't worry! You can take advantage of free trials offered by the platforms in order to watch. The Golden Globes can also be streamed on NBC's website or the NBC app. The preshow will be livestreamed on the Golden Globes' Twitter account.
