Want to know how to watch the Golden Globes 2021? We've got you covered.
This year's ceremony launches Hollywood's annual awards season on Sunday 28th February. The show, which celebrates the top TV and movie releases over the past year, will look a little different this year due to the ongoing pandemic. However, it will still be taking place at its usual location of the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. We're still not exactly sure how many stars will be in attendance on the night, if there'll be a red carpet, and how much of it will be pre-taped content.
But what we can tell you is how you can watch it from the comfort of your home, no matter where you are in the world. Read on to find out...

How to watch the Golden Globes in the UK & the rest of the world
Unfortunately, no UK network is broadcasting the Golden Globes. However, if you're outside your home country but have a subscription to any of the US services broadcasting the event—NBC.com, Locast, YouTube TV, Sling TV and Fubo TV—then, with a good VPN (opens in new tab) you can still watch the show online.
Streaming platforms often block you from using your subscription service when you're outside your country. So, a simple solution is to use a VPN service (opens in new tab), which changes your IP address on your computer, or smart device, allowing you to continue to keep up with your favorite shows when you're away from home.

Golden Globes 2021: what to expect
This year, the Golden Globes (opens in new tab) will be hosted by dynamic comedy duo Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. However, instead of standing side by side, they'll be on opposite coast—with Tina broadcasting live from The Rainbow Room, atop Rockefeller Center, in New York City; while Amy will host from the actual ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, in Los Angeles. The occasion will mark the fourth time the two stars have hosted the Golden Globes together over the years.
As for the nominations, there was a huge backlash around the Globes snubbing I May Destroy You—Michaela Coel's critically-acclaimed and all-around genius BBC/HBO show while celebrating fluffy Netflix series Emily in Paris—which surprised many with two nominations.
Meanwhile, the most Golden Globes nominations went to Netflix’s Mank and The Crown, which dominated this year's list with six nods each. In fact, the list was an overall success for Netflix as the streaming service received a total of 42 nominations across all the categories. Safe to say it's going to be a good night for Netflix!
This year's Cecil B. DeMille Award, the Golden Globe's lifetime achievement award, will honor Jane Fonda. The actress will receive the award as recognition for her outstanding contribution to Hollywood throughout her six-decade-long career.
When are the Golden Globes 2021 on air?
The 78th annual Golden Globes ceremony starts at 5pm (PT) / 8pm (ET) / 1am (UK), Sunday 28th February.
You can also watch all of the pre-show excitement on the Golden Globes’ official Twitter (opens in new tab) account as well as goldenglobes.com (opens in new tab), which will be streaming live coverage starting from 3:30pm (PT) and 6.30pm (ET) in the US. And who knows, we might even get some red carpet action?
Who's presenting at the Golden Globes 2021?
While Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will be hosting the ceremony together, as always, a number of stars will make cameos to present awards for each category. However, it has yet to be announced who will be presenting and for what awards, so we may have to wait for the big night to see who shows up.
Talk about making an impression. Amy and Tina have us laughing out loud already. We can't wait to see what they have planned for the #GoldenGlobes tonight at 8pm ET/5pm PT on @nbc. pic.twitter.com/SDimSKPoEgFebruary 28, 2021
