The Golden Globes, awarded by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, are making a tentative return to the mainstream after being boycotted last year by its broadcast partner NBC and several Hollywood stars, led by Tom Cruise, over allegations of racism, sexism and other forms of misconduct.
The awards ceremony will take place in Los Angeles on January 10 (early morning of January 11 for India) and will be hosted by comedian Jerrod Carmichael.
