Last year, Parasite cleaned up at the Academy Awards without making much of an impression in the main Globes categories. They’re voted for by only the 90-odd mysterious people who make up the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, so not
The Golden Globes Awards will be announced at 8pm ET, 5pm PST (or midnight if you’re in the UK) on February 28. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will delivering the juicy barbs and killer one-liners from opposite coasts of American, which makes it worth tuning into.
