Golden Globe Award co-hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler opened the show Sunday by taking on COVID-era life and the fact that “smoking hot” first responders were in the live bicoastal audience instead of the usual A-listers.
“Thank you for being here so the celebrities can stay at home,” Fey told the audience.
They also addressed the much-discussed absence of diversity within the Globe’s voters in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, with Fey describing the group as “around 90 no black journalists.”
“You guys have to change that,” she later warned.
The twosome ran down a bunch of the nominated movies in play, like Pixar’s animated “Soul,” where a Black character’s soul gets put into a cat.
”The HFPA really responded to the movie because they do have five cat members,” said Fey one of the stars of “Soul.”
