What to Expect at the Golden Globes: From Jennifer Aniston & Ricky Gervais to Jennifer Lopez

The Golden Globes are right around the corner — and so is the rest of the Hollywood award season.

The first award show kicks off this Sunday and a slew of A-listers are expected to attend — which is sure to bring fans a glimpse of their favorite stars.

Among them are Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lopez who are both nominated for strong performances that were favorably reviewed last year.

Lopez, 50, is nominated for best supporting actress in a motion picture for her turn as a stripper in Hustlers. Meanwhile, Aniston’s highly-acclaimed return to television garnered her a nomination for best actress in a television series drama for The Morning Show.

Ricky Gervais is returning to hosting duties for the fifth time — which he said will be his last time in the role.

“Once again, they’ve made me an offer I can’t refuse. But this is the very last time I’m doing this, which could make for a fun evening,” Gervais said in a press release in November.
