Getty Actor Halle Berry attends Amazon Studios' Golden Globes Celebration at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on January 7, 2018 in Beverly Hills, California.
The 2019 Golden Globes air tonight at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT/7 p.m. CT, on the NBC network, with Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg as the co-hosts. Ahead of the awards show, Samberg dished on his partner for the night and what to expect. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Samberg said to Oh, “I am so much happier to be doing it with you than to do it alone. Seth [Meyers] was incredible last year — and it was such a tricky year with everything that was coming to light, and he really threaded the needle well — but the years that are more like how I would dream of doing it were Tina [Fey] and Amy [Poehler]’s. I like playing off someone else and having there be a looseness to it and the ability to try things that are not necessarily just straight jokes to prompter. That’s why I’m excited to do it with you ’cause you’re such an incredible performer.”
In addition to hosting, Oh is also a nominee tonight, and she isn’t the only star pulling double duty tonight. Some of the presenters tonight also are nominees. For example, Bradley Cooper, who is a presenter, is up for several awards because of his hit movie A Star Is Born. Lady Gaga, who is in the same boat as Cooper, as his co-star from the movie, is also presenting. Emily Blunt is another presenter, who is nominated tonight and she is up for Best Actress Performance in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, for her role as Mary Poppins in Mary Poppins Returns. Presenter Rachel Weisz is nominated for Best Supporting Actress Performance in a Motion Picture for The Favourite as Sarah Churchill.
Kristen Bell, who is presenting tonight, is also up for Best Actress Performance in a Television Series Musical or Comedy. This is for The Good Place, on which she plays Eleanor Shellstrop. And, Sam Rockwell is up for an award for Vice, according to Womens Wear Daily.

Brown, Kaley Cuoco, Jamie Lee Curtis, Idris Elba, Johnny Galecki, Justin Hartley, Taraji P. Henson, Steve Carell, Olivia Colman, Felicity Huffman, Allison Janney, Michael B. Jordan, William H.
