Created by Chef Aida Mollenkamp, who was at the preview to share details about the new cocktail, the Moët Golden Night is a sophisticated, unpredictable medley of Moët Impérial, cardamom simple syrup, and pear brandy.

1. The stars can eat – if they arrive on time

Even though the Globes serve a three-course meal catered by the Beverly Hilton Hotel’s chefs,dinner is served to nominees and guests closer to lunch time around 3:30 p.m. Why so early? Producers don’t want dining noises, such as the clinking of silverware, to be heard during the telecast. So by the time the show begins at 5 p.m. PST, dinner has already been served. The good news: The attendees are still served alcohol, which is why guests often seem tipsy (and get tipsier) throughout the three-hour show.

2. Drinking with the stars

The champagne will definitely be flowing during the glitzy event, with 400 magnums of Moet & Chandon made available for guests, one bottle per table. The celebs can get even get the party started early, since 1,500 bottles of Moet minis will be given out on the red carpet.

3. Mixing and mingling

During commercial breaks, the stars love to get up and mingle with each other, exchanging pleasantries, air kisses and posing for selfies. The banquet-style seating encourages these kinds of casual interactions, but since it’s a live broadcast, those freewheeling conversations sometimes mean it’s a scramble to get attendees back into their seats on time. In order to get the A-listers seated before the show comes back on air, announcements are made at mid-commercial break and at the one-minute mark so stars can make their way back to their seats.

4. Amy Poehler and Tina Fey belong to a very exclusive club

In the history of the 72-year-old awards show, just six celebrities have hosted the Golden Globes. Besides this year’s returning hosts Fey and Poehler, the show has only been emceed by four other people: Andy Williams (mid-1960s), John Larroquette and Janine Turner (1995) and Ricky Gervais (2011-2013).

5. Frank Sinatra unwittingly started an A-list tradition

The Golden Globes are hosted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, whose members are comprised of 100 international journalists.HFPA members were tasked with handing out the awards until the Globes were hijacked by the Rat Pack in 1958, when Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. “stormed the stage with whiskey and cigarettes in tow” to hand out the trophies. The HFPA asked the trio to repeat their performance the following year, and celebs have been tasked with giving out awards on stage ever since.

6. Celebs skipped the 2008 Golden Globes

Out of solidarity with the Writers Guild of America writers strike, no actors attended the awards show that year. Instead, the winners were announced via a live news conference hosted by entertainment news personalities. So how did the winners finally receive their awards? According to TV Guide’soral history about the 2008 Globes, “Entourage” star Jeremy Piven was given his statuette in his driveway.

7. Not a Golden Globes nominee? Good luck getting in!

The Golden Globes are hosted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, whose members are comprised of 100 international journalists. HFPA members were tasked with handing out the awards until the Globes were hijacked by the Rat Pack in 1958, when Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. “stormed the stage with whiskey and cigarettes” to hand out the trophies. Celebs have been tasked with giving out awards on stage ever since.

8. The Globes is also the rare awards show with empty seats

Unlike other awards shows, the Golden Globes use no seat fillers. So when Clooney goes up to collect his Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award on Sunday, no seat filler will take his place.

 

9. The Golden Globe weighs more than you think

When someone wins an award for the first time, he or she generally remarks on heavy the statuette feels. When it comes to the Globes, there’s a reason for this, since the trophy weighs 5.5 pounds. To give some perspective, that’s about the average weight of a bulldog puppy.

10. The event’s red carpet is almost as long as Noah’s Ark

Noah’s Ark, which in Biblical lore housed two of every animal on Earth, is generally considered to have measured 450 feet in length. Keep that in mind when you see the Golden Globe red carpet, since it measures around 437 feet – which should be just enough to fit nearly every movie and TV star in Hollywood.
