The big day is finally here! The 73rd Annual Golden Globe Awards will be broadcast live from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California on Sunday, January 10, 2016, by NBC. Ricky Gervais will serve as host for the awards ceremony, which begins at 8 Pm Et/5 Pm Pt, and we'll be updating this story all night long with all of the award winners as they're announced live on the air.

The three-hour ceremony serves as the official kick-off to awards season and will be aired live coast to coast from 8-11 p.m. Et on NBC. Ricky Gervais is returning as host for the fourth time.

Scott rounded off by saying: “Finally I know my [late] brother Tony would have been here tonight for sure and I know many of you knew him and loved him. I love you...

Todd Haynes’ Carol headed into the ceremony at the Beverly Hilton on Sunday evening with the highest number of nominations - five - and left empty-handed. Similarly The Big Short, nominated for four, failed to translate a single nod into a trophy at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s annual shindig.

Away from the business of winning awards, arguably the most anticipated part of the evening was the inevitable encounter between show host Ricky Gervais and Mel Gibson, making his return to the limelight after years in the wilderness following a series of anti-Semitic and misogynistic remarks and erratic behaviour.
