The 2021 Golden Globes red carpet was a virtual affair with celebs dressed to the nines, watching the awards ceremony from their homes. It was a very, very different Golden Globes this year.
Unrecognisable, really, from its previous glamorous years.
The 78th edition of Hollywood’s prestigious awards ceremony saw just a sprinkling of stars at the Rainbow Room in New York, where the show was hosted by Tina Fey.
Amy Poehler, meanwhile, co-hosted the show from Beverly Hilton, California.
But even though many of the stars did not attend the show, they definitely dressed up for it.
And we get a peek of their Globes style, right from their fashionable homes and hotels!

30 Rock star Tracy Morgan shows off his funny side.
But he was unintentionally funny on the show when he announced the Best Original Score: Motion Picture and mispronounced the show Soul and called it ‘Sal’. It immediately set off a round of Twitter jokes.
Morgan himself later joined in and tweeted, ‘Sorry SOUL. I was thinking about the pizza I was going to get from my guy SAL on the way home!!’

There have been a lot of protests this year, as the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which conducts the Globes, does not have a single black member out of 87.
Interestingly, the first award of the evening was given to the Black actor, Daniel Kaluuya, for his work in Judas and the Black Messiah.
