If you’re looking for a distraction as the world resumes regular programming, look no further than the 81st Golden Globes… Celebs will start hitting the red carpet in their finery at 11am Aussie Eastern daylight savings time (Sunday night in the US) before the awards ceremony kicks off at noon. And if you’re wondering what films are up for the top gongs, it’s another Barbenheimer special… Greta Gerwig’s Barbie is nominated in 9 categories – including best actress for Aussie Margot Robbie – and Oppenheimer is up for 8 awards. Other names in the mix for best picture include the indie romantic drama Past Lives and dark comedy/sci-fi flick Poor Things. Hosting the spectacle is comedian/actor Jo Koy – he only got the gig 2 weeks ago… Keen beans can watch it live on Stan.
