Unfortunately, no TV channel in the UK will be broadcasting the awards – so it won't be possible for fans this side of the Atlantic to watch the ceremony in full.
However, there will be frequent updates from the Golden Globes Twitter account – including all the winner announcements and various clips posted throughout the night.
In the US, the ceremony is airing on NBC.
