Who is hosting?

Global comedy superstar Ricky Gervais, in his unique and legendary fashion, will resume hosting duties for a record fifth time. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he said, "As soon as NBC called and said, 'Do you want to do it?' I thought, 'Well, that's Christmas ruined because I've got to work.'" He added, "People think that I'd go out there and I'd get drunk and say off-the-cuff (things). I don't. I write jokes."

The nominations for the 77th Annual Golden Globe Awards were announced on December 9. Voted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which is made up of 90 journalists from around the world, the nominations were announced by Tim Allen, Susan Kelechi Watson, and Dakota Fanning.
