5 Topics to Get Ready for the Golden Globes

Gabriella Schwarz / January 9, 2016

Film stars were awarded scrolls upon their wins in 1944, in the ceremony that served as a precursor to the glitzy Golden Globes we know today. A year later, in 1945, the first gala social event took place, during which Ingrid Bergman was awarded Best Actress and Alexander Knox received the Best Actor prize. The list of awards has grown since the celebration’s inception to the 25 categories that will make up this year’s presentation. Though winners now receive a gold statue instead of a traditional scroll, the Golden Globes remain the most high profile party of the year.

Get ready for the 73th presentation of the Golden Globe Awards Sunday night, hosted by Ricky Gervais, with topics on some of the most buzzed-about names of the season.

Leonardo DiCaprio: The former child star’s extreme performance in The Revenant has received award season buzz. Learn more about the actor, from his roles to his new single status.
