2024 Golden Globes
That is where it all went down. The 2024 Golden Globes are where two massive Star Wars met for the very first time and fans cannot get enough of it. Let's recap a bit here. So our beloved Mark Hamill played Luke Skywalker in the original trilogy, Episode IV, V, and VI of Star Wars. Then, after those three movies were made, George Lucas created to the prequel trilogy, Episode I, II and III.
What's interesting about the prequel of course is that it happens BEFORE the events of the first trilogy however, obviously, the actors are from a completely different generation. For example, someone who played an original trilogy's mother, might be younger than that original character is today, more than likely.
Star Wars Fans Losing Their Minds
That's exactly what happened, Mark Hamill met Natalie Portman! She played Padme Amidala, who ultimately would become the mother of Luke and Leia. Those two characters famously fathered by Anakin Skywalker, a.k.a. Darth Vader!
Here's the photo of the two stars, so cool. Fans are freaking out.
Whoever told you that the 2024 Golden Globes were just for honoring television and film lied. The red carpet is where the action begins. It's where actors, actresses, directors, and more can all shine.
The award show streams on Paramount+ starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT Sunday (Jan. 7). Comedian Jo Koy is hosting and the show will have A-list presenters such as Daniel Kaluuya, Florence Pugh, Oprah Winfrey, Simu Liu, Michelle Yeoh, America Ferrera, and more.
"I’ve had [hosting] gigs before, but nothing to this level," Koy told The Washington Post. "So I gotta make sure I bring it."
As for the night's vibe, Koy said that he "just wants to have fun" and plans to treat it like his own comedy shows. Koy is not alone in being a comedian on the host roster for the award show. Past comedian hosts of the Golden Globes have been Ellen DeGeneres, Chris Rock, Billy Crystal, and Trevor Noah.
