Big Winners of the 78th Golden Globe Awards 2021

The virtual 78th Golden Globe Awards 2021 began with great gusto on March 1. Actors Amy Poehler and Tina Fey returned as the hosts of the event for the fourth time. 

The event was hosted from two different cities, New York and Los Angeles. Tina Fey hosted the event from the Rainbow Room in New York while Amy Poehler hosted the show from Beverly Hills in Los Angeles. 

It was heartwarming to witness celebrities accepting their awards from the comfort of their homes.  Some of them gave us a peek into their private lives by introducing their family members and even pets.
