The Golden Globes is kicking off 2021's award season. While it's likely to look very different this year, it's still sure to be a night of glitz and glamour, with an award given out here and there. Make sure you know exactly where to watch a Golden Globes 2021 live stream online wherever you are to see which movies sweep up the most awards.

Golden Globes live stream: at a glance

NBC is once again the official broadcaster of the Golden Globes Awards live stream in the US. It'll be airing from 8pm ET / 5pm PT. That's 1am GMT / 12pm AEDT / 2pm ZDST on Monday, March 1 around the globe in the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

With the ongoing pandemic, the Golden Globes has had to adapt - a pattern we're likely to see across the rest of the major award shows this year. Split between New York and Beverly Hills, Ricky Gervais has dropped the baton with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler instead returning to host the awards show for the first time since 2015.

While Amy Poehler will be hosting from The Beverly Hilton, Tina Fey is anchoring from the Rainbow Room in the Rockefeller Plaza, with nominees expected to - for the most part - tune in via video feed to maintain social distancing rules.

And that's not the only thing that will be different this year. Streaming giants dominate the nominee lists with movie theatre door's remaining firmly shut, allowing for the likes of Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu to thrive.

Whether you enjoy celebrity spotting or are a film buff, then, watching the Golden Globes awards this year will certainly been an interesting one compared to previous years. Find out how to live stream the Golden Globes 2021 online where you are in the world by using our guide below.

These handy systems are 'Virtual Private Networks', and enable you to appear online as if you are somewhere else entirely. This method gives you a way to get around any geographical restrictions, so you can access all of your favorite streaming services just as if you were at home. We'd argue that ExpressVPN is the best VPN to go with, and is perfect to watch Golden Globes 2021 online.

Happily, ExpressVPN is also compatible with pretty much every device you can think of too.

2: Connect to an appropriate server. Select a server located back in your home country and you'll be in and away. And if there's any sniff of an issue, Express's handy 24/7 live chat customer support can come to your rescue.

3: Head over to the service you want. Here you can shop as normal and once you set your location, visit the service you're interested in and sign up as normal or log in, and start watching. And if you don't get along with it, you can always cancel without issue within 30 days and get a full refund. Easy!
