The changes are prompted by the coronavirus
pandemic, which has ruled out the usual glitzy seated dinner for
A-list celebrities at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.
Instead, comedian Tina Fey will broadcast live on NBC television
from the Rainbow Room in New York, while co-host Amy Poehler
will be inside the Beverly Hilton.
Other details are still being worked out for the Feb. 28
ceremony, which is the first major award show in the lead-up to
the Oscars.
Nominations for the Golden Globes, organized by the Hollywood
Foreign Press Association, will be announced on Wednesday.
The pandemic has forced big changes to the way award shows are
produced and televised in recent months. The Emmy Awards last
September had dozens of nominees appearing from remote
locations, while other shows have featured a mixture of
pre-recorded and live performances.
The pandemic also pushed the Golden Globes and the Oscars
ceremonies back a couple of months. The Golden Globes were
delayed from their usual early January spot, while the Academy
Awards will now take place on April 25 rather than the usual
late February or early March date.
