7 Things You Need to Know Before the 2018 Golden Globes


It's almost time for the 2018 Golden Globes!
The award show takes place this Sunday night at The Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. This year is particularly special because it marks the Golden Globes' 75th anniversary. So, there will be a lot to celebrate.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association—the organization that votes for the winners—already announced the nominees back in December. However, there's still so much more viewers need to know before the winners are revealed.
So before you pop the popcorn or uncork the champagne, check out this list and read the seven key facts you need to know before tomorrow's big show. You'll be glad you did.

1. Seth Meyers is hosting
The Late Night host will serve as M.C. for the evening. Meyers already rolled out the red carpet on Thursday. Now, all that's left to do is host the show. No pressure.
In terms of material, Meyers plans to address Hollywood's current climate but still celebrate 
2. Attendees will enjoy a multi-course dinner—and a signature drink 
Hopefully, the nominees will come hungry because The Beverly Hilton's executive chef Alberico Nunziata is cooking up a multi-course dinner. The stars will start off with a burrata appetizer served with olives, garlic flowers and vegetables. Then, they'll enjoy Chilean sea bass served with beet and parmesan risotto for the entrée. As for dessert, executive pastry chef Thomas Henzi will serve guests a treat called the Efendi, which consists of Frangelico crème brûlée and mousse. 
Celebrities will also sip the night's signature champagne cocktail—The Moët 75.
3. Everything will be coming up roses 
Especially when it comes to the décor. Mark Held from the florist Mark's Garden tells E! News the centerpieces will consist of red roses to represent the red carpet and gold-toned roses to represent the Golden Globe statue. The centerpieces will also feature diamond-like accents in honor of the award show's diamond anniversary. According to Held, more than 10,000 roses were used to create the centerpieces. The flowers were also grown in Ecuador.

6. There will be lots of signs of solidarity
Word has been spreading about Time's Up—a movement launched by leaders in the entertainment industry that promotes equality and safety in the workplace and fights against sexual harassment. Several celebrities, both men and women, will be showing their support for the initiative. For instance, Witherspoon and fellow Time's Up supporter Eva Longoria will be walking the red carpet together to show a united front.
