Earlier in the week, Cecil B. DeMille honoree Helen Mirren and Carol Burnett Award recipient Sarah Jessica Parker headlined the “Golden Eve” special, which filmed Tuesday and aired this past Thursday on CBS.

Momentum will pick up today, as the primary day for pre-ceremony celebrations, starting with the sophisticated BAFTA Tea Party at the Four Season Hotel, Beverly Hills, in the afternoon, and the Amazon MGM Studios and Vanity Fair Awards Season Celebration at Bar Marmont.

The week culminates on Sunday, January 11, with the main awards ceremony hosted by Nikki Glaser at the Beverly Hilton. The day starts with the red carpet arrivals followed by the live broadcast. Once the show concludes, the festivities transition into late-night after-parties, including the official Golden Globes celebration held on-site at the Hilton, where winners and nominees gather to celebrate through the night. Nikki Glaser will host an afterparty at Sunset Tower, co-hosted by UTA & Brillstein Entertainment Partners; Netflix will host a private event at Spago, and Universal Entertainment post-party will be at Dante Beverly Hills.
