Golden Globes 2017
The Golden Globes Awards presentation is held each year to honor those who have managed to make their mark in the world of entertainment with their extraordinary contributions and performances. The night lit up with all the stars of Hollywood, acknowledging the 74th Golden Globe Awards show. Broadcasted live on NBC on January 8th (from Beverly Hills) the ceremony was astounding, as it has been for the past seven decades.
In 2014 Jimmy Fallon was the host of the show along with actress Melissa McCarthy who presented the Cecil B. DeMille award to the recipient of the year Michael Douglas. Jimmy’s presence this year at the red carpet event added playfulness and created the perfect ingredient of fun, making the Golden Globes one of the leading Hollywood soirees that are broadcasted every year.
