Hollywood stars have arrived on the red carpet for the 2024 Golden Globe Awards – and they’ve all put in a lot of effort with their outfits.
This year’s awards season kicks off tonight and will give a strong indication of who is going to win big at the Oscars in March.
The three-hour long spectacle begins at 8pm EST, which means viewers in the UK will have to stay up until 1am to watch the live show.
Comedian Jo Koy will be hosting proceedings from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles and will be hoping to avoid any scandals.
The presenters and nominees have certainly dressed to impress tonight, including Heidi Klum in a head turning red dress and 19-year-old The Last of Us star Bella Ramsey.

The Golden Globes has seen some big changes this time round, after CBS picked up the rights to air the awards.
In 2021, the Los Angeles Times reported that there were no Black members in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which voted on the awards.
Stars and even some studios boycotted the Globes and former broadcaster NBC refused to air it in 2022 as a result.

Its assets were acquired by Boehly’s Eldridge Industries, along with Dick Clark Productions, a group that is owned by Penske Media.
