Golden Globe Parties: The Complete Guide

A version of this story appears in the Jan. 16 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.

Every January, the Golden Globes afterparties are completely different — and totally the same. The venues at The Beverly Hilton remain mostly unchanged from year to year (HBO will again hold its gathering downstairs by the pool; InStyle will have its at the Oasis courtyard), but, of course, there’ll be a slew of new nominated stars, new decor and maybe even some new appetizers at the a la carte tables. Below, a list to help you Globe-trot on Sunday night, as well as intel on all the other invite-only pre-Globes parties on the nights leading up.

SUNDAY:

Fox
The Fox Pavilion, 4:30 p.m.
It’ll start as a viewing party and then morph into a post-show celebration. And Fox may have plenty to celebrate. Birdman is up for best motion picture comedy, and The Book of Life is nominated for best animated film. Among the stars expected to hobnob in the old Robinsons-May store: Gone Girl nominee Rosamund Pike, best director nominee David Fincher and Louis C.K., nominated for best performance in a TV show.

Paramount Pictures
The Stardust Room
The studio can celebrate its best picture nom for Selma. Expect the film’s David Oyelowo, nominated for best actor in a motion picture drama, to make an appearance.

The Weinstein Co./Netflix
Robinsons-May lot, 8 p.m.
Ever wonder what would happen if Kevin Spacey, Bill Murray and Benedict Cumberbatch were in the same room (or, in this case, tent)? Here’s your chance to find out. The House of Cards, Imitation Game and St. Vincent nominees are all expected to be attending Harvey and Bob‘s second party with Netflix, along with Keira Knightley, Taylor Schilling and Robin Wright.

CAA
Sunset Tower, 8:30 p.m.
Last year, the talent agency didn’t win many friends with Globe organizers by moving its offsite party from 10 p.m. to 8 p.m., siphoning off a lot of talent from the hotel parties (reportedly in retaliation for a seating change that kept agents away from the best tables). Relations have marginally improved: CAA has moved the party back up by 30 minutes.
