The 69th Golden Globe Awards will be broadcast live from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California on January 15, 2012, by NBC. The host is Ricky Gervais. The nominations were announced by Woody Harrelson, Sofia Vergara, Gerard Butler and Rashida Jones on December 15, 2011.

The Golden Globe Award is an accolade bestowed by the 93 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) recognizing excellence in film and television, both domestic and foreign. The annual formal ceremony and dinner at which the awards are presented is a major part of the film industry's awards season, which culminates each year with the Academy Awards.

The Golden Globe Awards participants will get all dressed up on Sunday, have a few stiff drinks, and then present themselves to be kicked around by Ricky Gervais. They seem to welcome the attention -- even Philip Berk (Gervais: "I just had to help him off the toilet and pop his teeth in"), president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which puts on the event.

Attention is what the Globes are all about: These are the awards decided by 90 obscure journalists who, nonetheless, set the stage for the Oscars and draw a worldwide TV audience of 250 million.

"Winners good-naturedly moon the crowd (Jack Nicholson in 1999), have to be rousted out of the bathroom (Christine Lahti in 1998) or give their award away (Ving Rhames giving his statuette to his idol Jack Lemmon in 1998)," the association says in its online history of the Globes. It was founded as a freewheeling event presented by the group's members until 1958, "when Rat Packers Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr. stormed the stage, with whiskies and cigarettes in tow, and took over the show, to the delight of the audience." It's not easy towing whisky and cigarettes, but Sinatra wasn't called the Chairman of the Board for nothing.

Gervais fits right into this irreverent tone, and the Globe nominations often do, as well: Last year, for instance, the much-derided comedy The Tourist was up for several awards. (Gervais: "It seems like everything this year was three-dimensional -- except the characters in The Tourist.") This year's slate is a more comprehensible collection, which could hurt Gervais' opening monologue, but does make for some intriguing competitions.
