How to watch every moment of the 2020 Golden Globes on Sunday
Two golden globes trophies on the red carpet.

The 77th annual Golden Globe Awards will air live on Sunday, January 5, from the Beverly Hilton ballroom in Beverly Hills, California. Ricky Gervais will host the traditionally raucous show for the fifth (and supposedly final) time, which may mean viewers are in for an even more merciless night of roasting and satire than usual. Often considered a gauge for which films will earn Academy Awards honors, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's (HFPA) Golden Globes are the first stop on the Hollywood awards circuit for 2020.

The nominees are in, with streaming services earning a surprising amount of recognition, so it's sure to be an interesting show.

You probably haven’t seen 2024’s best movies. Here’s why you need to right now
Two guys sit in a car in Anora.

Let’s not mince words: 2024 was a miserable year for America, for the world, and for humanity at large. No wonder moviegoers retreated in huge numbers to familiar pleasures; even Wicked, the only non-sequel to set the box office on fire these past 12 months, is a form of reheated comfort food. If it wasn’t pure franchise escapism, if it didn’t promise a good time for their hard-earned cash, most people couldn’t be bothered. And so the overlap of movies for so-called cinephiles and movies for the so-called masses seemed to shrink, inching us closer to a future where that Venn diagram is just two circles not touching. 

But then there was Anora. Wild, hilarious, shatteringly sad Anora. No perceived binary that splits movie culture into “art” versus “entertainment” could account for Sean Baker’s screwball tragicomedy about a Brighton Beach erotic dancer who falls, against her best judgement, into a whirlwind romance with the playboy son of a Russian oligarch. Anora is a great time, but it’s not escapism. If anything, the movie is about the delusion of escape, and about the desperate reality of an America where everything is transactional. In a year where people treated the movies like a much-needed distraction, Anora looked right at the inequities of the here and now, even as it offered bigger hits of pleasure than any blockbuster.
