Timothée Chalamet’s Return, Gucci Selfies, And More We Need To See At The 2019 Golden Globes

The Golden Globes usually are a good time for each person involved. (Unless you were one of the five all-male nominees in The ideal Director category last year.) Not as stuffy and coveted because the Oscars and Emmys, nor as predictable and safe because the Grammys, the Golden Globes have a reputation of being awards season's biggest party — and for good reason: It's the one night of the year where TV people (who are really just happy to be there) get to mix and mingle with A-list movie stars while waiting in line at the open bar.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is known for honoring newcomers — which I guess is pretty predictable of these — although it ultimately makes for a show where anything can take place. (Remember any time Aaron Taylor-Johnson won the Golden Globe for his supporting efficiency in Nocturnal Animals? No one saw that one coming.) There's also not a lot of crossover between the HFPA, an audience of international entertainment industry folks, and the Academy, so while taking residence a freshly redesigned Golden Globe may give a Oscar hopeful momentum, it's definitely not indicative of a win.

Still, it's still an excuse for film and television's elite to dress up, take selfies, and present each other with shiny statuettes. This year, nominee Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg are at the helm of Hollywood's tipsiest award show, and they're planning a "crazy-pants" ceremony.

That being mentioned, here are some of things we're looking forward to seeing at the 76th Annual Golden Globes this Sunday, January 6.

The cast of Pose owning the red carpet

The category is... Red carpet glamour! FX's groundbreaking drama Pose is nominated for Best Television Series in the drama category, while scene-stealer Billy Porter is up for Best Actor — so prepare for this mesmerizing cast to turn the red carpet into their own personalized ballroom for the big event. Sparkle! Lace! Tulle! Beading! Diamonds! Nothing is out of the realm of possibility for stars MJ Rodriguez, Indya Moore, Dominique Jackson, and Tony-winning Porter.

However they better slay on the way to the podium to accept their Golden Globe. Immediately considering that, the HFPA love to be first, and since Pose missed the eligibility deadline for the Emmys, it makes sense that these foreign critics would aspire to be the initial to crown this Ryan Murphy gem victorious. And there isn't a more deserving show in the running.

The return of Timothée Chalamet

Timothée Chalamet didn't walk away a winner on Oscar night last year, although that didn't matter; he had already won awards season, endearing himself to practically each person — on Twitter and off. He became a heartthrob seemingly overnight, and right now he's back on the awards season campaign trail for his devastating supporting efficiency in Beautiful Boy. The Supporting Actor category is maybe the most stacked of the night, so the young actor's chances of walking away a winner are slim, yet — again — the ceremony hasn't even began and it's safe to mention that Timothée Chalamet has already won the night. He'll win in the eyes and hearts of the world wide web the moment he steps onto the carpet, dressed in an impeccably modified suit, with his mom in tow.

Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg's starting monologue

Right after stealing the Emmys with their undeniable charisma, Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg are taking the reins at this year's Globes. It's a fun pairing, if only due to the unpredictable nature of it. Samberg's previously hosted the Emmys, while Oh is the initial Asian American to host a major award show — which is really more embarrassing for us as a society than it is remarkable. As for what to expect from their show? It's all a little bit unknown, which makes it all of the more exhilarating. Yet there really is one thing Oh mentioned she has no interest in: Trump jokes. "What I'm interested in is pointing to actual real change," she told The Hollywood Reporter. "I want to focus on that 'cause people can pooh-pooh Hollywood all they want — and really there is a lot to pooh-pooh, sure — however we also make culture. How several gazillions of people have seen Black Panther and Crazy Wealthy Asians? That changes things." So prepare for a celebratory kick-off to awards season.

And the return of Mama Oh

Here's hoping Oh's parents once again grace us with their regal presence. Oh's mother wore a long-established Korean hanbok to the Emmys, where her daughter was nominated for her lead efficiency in Killing Eve — the initial Asian woman to be nominated in the category. Will Oh's eomma show up to the Globes in another hanbok? Or does she have something else up her delicate sleeve? (TBH, this is all I really care about once it comes to the Globes.)

Lady Gaga's acceptance speech(es)

Lady Gaga looks poised to win not one although two categories at this Sunday's ceremony. It's no secret that the chanteuse has been campaigning hard for that Oscar this awards season for her lead role in Bradley Cooper's A Star Is Born — and the HFPA love stars — so don't be surprised if Gaga walks away a winner for both Best Original Song (for "Shallow") and Best Actress in the drama category. Soon considering that, the Globes already awarded Mother Monster back in 2015 for her gory stint on Ryan Murphy's American Horror Story, so she's clearly a HFPA preference. With the likelihood of her winning at an all-time high, we just have to be emotionally ready to hear some variation of "there can be 100 people in a room and 99 of those don’t believe in you nevertheless all it takes is one." Oh, and for the tears.

Everything's Gucci for Elsie Fisher

If the Golden Globes does not give us a photo of Eighth Grade star Elsie Fisher making her iconic "Gucci" symbol on the red carpet, then what are we even doing here? Bonus points if Fisher snags a selfie with her fellow nominees, and they're all doing it. Olivia Colman and Emily Blunt could be so down!

Bill Hader's very awkward acceptance speech for Barry

Despite the HFPA's undying love for 12-time Globes nominee and five-time winner Michael Douglas, Bill Hader still has a good shot at taking house the trophy for his disturbing HBO "comedy" Barry. Sure, the show is excellent, nevertheless he should win because his acceptance speeches are usually succinct plus a little bit awkward — a brilliant, meme-able mix. Any time as soon as he accepted the Emmy last year, he simply mentioned "I did not think this was going to happen" and then thanked his cast. Simple! Sweet! A little bit sweaty! Other white boys, please take notes.
