BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) – The latest from Sunday’s 73rd Annual Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California (all times local):
1:30 p.m.
It’s still hours to showtime, but the Golden Globes red carpet is already warming up.
With intermittent sun beating down outside the Beverly Hilton Hotel following days of rain, “Today” show co-hosts Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie rehearsed for celebrity arrivals at their prime, rose-covered red carpet location. Dressed casually with shades covering their faces, the pair interviewed a stand-in wearing a pink Jennifer Lawrence sign around her neck.
With the threat of rain diminished, “Entertainment Tonight” stagehands ascended ladders on the other side of the carpet to remove tarps covering their red carpet headquarters. If there is any drizzle, a transparent tent will protect celebrities – but not the fans.
