The 2021 Golden Globe Awards are fast-approaching.<\/p>\n

While it would appear no event on the awards season calendar could ever eclipse the disaster that was the 2017 Oscars and that<\/em> Moonlight<\/em>-versus-La-La-Land<\/em> bungle<\/a>, a little part of us as journalists and spectators still pray. Traditionally speaking, and in a COVID-free world, the Golden Globes \u2013 with its open bar and social dinner setting \u2013 has always been the rowdier, fancy-free sister to the pompous Academy Awards; a night where the biggest names in film can unpin their hairsprayed-stiff top knots and dance into the evening at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles. (Remember dancing?)<\/p>\n

Come 8pm EST on February 28 – and in lieu of honoring the wrong film with the wrong accolade – comedy legends Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will return as hosts of the Golden Globe Awards for the fourth time (and we can probably count on some candid political pontificating surrounding Trump and questioning Emily In Paris<\/em>‘ nomination.)<\/a><\/p>\n

Like a lot of things this year, awards season has been delayed due to the pandemic. The Golden Globe Awards, now taking place in February instead of January, will be followed by the Critics Choice Awards on March 7, the Screen Actors Guild Awards on April 4, the BAFTAs on April 11 and the Academy Awards on April 25. The Globes will still take place inside the Beverly Hilton Hotel but with the virus still circulating throughout California, it is widely expected to be a partially virtual show.<\/p>\n

Yes, chances are we’re in for a more somber affair. With this in mind, let\u2019s revisit some of the most scandalous Golden Globe moments, because where there\u2019s smoke (read: unlimited alcohol), there\u2019s always a little bit of (movie star grade) fire.<\/p>\n

Seth Meyers Calls Out Kevin Spacey<\/h5>\n

A couple of months after director, Ridley Scott, spectacularly replaced the disgraced Kevin Spacey with the late Christopher Plummer in All The Money In The World<\/em>, Golden Globes host Seth Meyers had his first victim. Well, next to Harvey Weinstein of course. \u201cGood evening ladies and remaining gentlemen,\u201d Meyers began his 2018 opening monologue. \u201cIt\u2019s 2018 and marijuana is finally allowed and sexual harassment finally isn\u2019t,\u201d he began. They\u2019re going to do another season of House of Cards<\/em>. Is Christopher Plummer available for that, too? I hope he can do a Southern accent because Kevin Spacey sure couldn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
