The Golden Globes are being held in Los Angeles with comedian Jerrod Carmichael as host. The awards return to the Hollywood mainstream after making internal reforms following criticism of its allegedly racist and sexist voting practices. Last year's Golden Globes were boycotted by NBC, which broadcasts the show, and many of Hollywood's big stars led by Tom Cruise who returned his three Globes.
