6 Reasons to Get Psyched for the 2016 Golden Globes

Not only is the list of nominees worthy of being glued to the NBC live broadcast nonstop (we’re on the lookout for Viola Davis, Cate Blanchett, and Lady Gaga), you’ll want to tune in for the presenters, too. Cover girl Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry, Amy Adams, Amber Heard, Eva Longoria, Channing Tatum, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and designer Tom Ford are each taking the stage to hand out trophies and cheek kisses. Plus, our inner circle seems particularly jazzed to see Amy Schumer’s first Golden Globes appearance, as she’s attending both as a presenter and nominee. At the Emmys, she accessorized with a fan to cool her down on the red carpet and photobombed the Game of Thrones cast in the press room. Who knows what she’ll do this time. (Or who she’ll bring.) 

A new fashion darling is crowned every year during awards season, and it starts at the Golden Globes. In 2014, Lupita Nyong’o made jaws drop with her red caped gown by Ralph Lauren. Last year, it was Lorde, who blew us away with her minimalist Narciso Rodriguez tuxedo. Who will it be this year? We’re looking out for nominees Brie Larson, Taraji P. Henson, Alicia Vikander, Saoirse Ronan, Rachel Bloom, Sarah Hay, Joanne Froggatt, and Caitriona Balfe.

Ricky Gervais is hosting this year for the fourth time. He hosted in 2010 through 2012, until Tina Fey and Amy Poehler took over in 2013. While Tina and Amy’s jokes packed punch, Gervais’s snark-slinging one-liners have a tone of did-he-really-say-that. Be prepared to laugh (and maybe cringe). Case in point: “The Golden Globes are just like the Oscars but without all that esteem,” he said in 2012. "They are to the Oscar what Kim Kardashian is to Kate Middleton… a bit louder, a bit trashier, a bit drunker and more easily bought — allegedly. Nothing has been proved.”

Six nominees aged 70 and above earned 10 percent of the individual acting nominations, proving talent only gets better with age. Style does too: Look for Helen Mirren and Jane Fonda on the red carpet, showing the world the epitome of how to age gracefully.
