You talkin’ to Joaquin?

The Golden Globes are about to start in a few short hours, so if you’re looking for an early insight into how the Oscars might play out, be sure to tune in. Netflix’s Marriage Story leads the nominations with six, followed by The Irishman (another from Netflix) and Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time in Hollywood with five each. The Joaquin Phoenix-starring Joker has four, including one for best picture, while Netflix’s The Two Popes also has four.
It’s probably also worth checking out purely to see what host Ricky Gervais gets up to. He’s back for a fifth round of tearing celebrity egos to shreds whilst sipping beers on stage.
Below you’ll find everything you need to know to catch the TV and movie awards show.

The red carpet
For the best, worst and weirdest looks from the red carpet, you can watch NBC’s live coverage at 4 p.m. PT/7 p.m. ET. Or you can tune in to E!’s Live From the Red Carpet special, which begins an hour earlier at 3 p.m. PT/6 p.m. ET.
You can also livestream the red carpet show on NBC.com or the NBC app.
Who’s nominated?
The big best picture category is dominated by Netflix, but the likes of Taika Waititi’s Jojo Rabbit, Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Killing Eve and Rian Johnson’s Knives Out have all received much-deserved nods in other categories. The full list is worth a good look. (Cats is buried right in there in the best original song category.)
