Rosamund Pike wore what she described as a "protective veil." She said it was added to her outfit after she suffered a skiing accident over Christmas. Her injury has since healed, but Pike said she'd fallen in love with the look, so she decided to keep the headpiece.

Where are the Golden Globes being held?

The awards show is being held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, and for the official pre-show celebrity guests walked the red carpet set up just outside of the venue. The Beverly Hilton's glittering international ballroom is the usual venue for the Golden Globes and has been the locale of most of its ceremonies over the last several decades. 

Golden Globes host Jo Koy helped roll out the red carpet outside the venue at a press preview on Thursday.

Globes ceremonies are set up like formal galas, with award presentations and speeches given from the ballroom's stage while celebrity guests dine at tables arranged around the floor.  

For the first time in decades, the ceremony was broadcast live on CBS as part of a new deal between the Golden Globes and the network. The Golden Globes ceremony was also available to stream on Paramount+ and the CBS app. Paramount Global is the parent company of CBS.
