This year’s Golden Globes will be the first major awards show since the avalanche of sexual assault and harassment that rocked Hollywood this fall and winter. There is currently a push for actresses to wear only black as a sign of solidarity with women (and men) who have come forward with their stories. Dwayne Johnson also suggested men do the same.

The 75th Annual Golden Globe Awards will air live from the Beverly Hilton on January 7, 2018 at 8pm ET/5pm PT on NBC. Seth Meyers will host the ceremony. For a list of the nominations for Motion Pictures go here and for Television go here.

This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013.

He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Critics Choice Association (CCA), San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle (SFBAFCC) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
