Hosted by Comedian Jerrod Carmichael, the event returns to television after being dropped by NBC last year due to a series of controversies that included a lack of diversity among voters.

Considered a predicter for the Academy Awards, winners at the Globes often go on to take home Oscars, as was the path for New Zealand’s Jane Campion and her Western psychological drama The Power of The Dog last year.
