How Long Is the Golden Globes 2021? When Does It End?

78th Annual Golden Globe Awards

NBCUniversal Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are hosting the 78th Annual Golden Globe Awards on NBC.

Tonight Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are reuniting as hosts for the 78th Annual Golden Globe Awards on NBC. It serves as the kickoff of awards season after being delayed amid the coronavirus pandemic.

With the ceremony starting at 8 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. PT, as a three-hour-long broadcast, it is scheduled to end at 11 p.m. ET/ 8 p.m. PT.

However, since live events notoriously run beyond their scheduled airtime, anyone trying to watch the Golden Globes later should extend their recording time.

Fey and Poehler Are Reuniting as Hosts of the 3-Hour Ceremony

This is the fourth time Fey and Poehler are hosting the award ceremony run by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

“NBC has long been the home to two of the funniest people on the planet – Tina Fey and Amy Poehler” revealed the Chairman of NBC Entertainment, Paul Telegdy, in a press release announcing their hosting gig.

“There’s no denying that Tina and Amy’s comedic chemistry is infectious,” Lorenzo Soria, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, added in the release. “We can’t wait to see the dynamic duo return to the Golden Globes stage.”

However, the comedic friends will not be taking the same stage. The show will air live with the Parks and Recreation star in the Beverly Hotel in Beverly Hills and the 30 Rock creator in the Rainbow Room in Rockefeller Center in New York City.
