Whether anyone will be attending the Golden Globes in person remains uncertain and improbable. But nominations to the 78th Globes will be announced on Wednesday (Feb 3), nevertheless.

Hollywood's strange and largely virtual awards season lacks the usual kind of buzz and red-carpet glamour that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) annually feasts on. More than perhaps any other award show, the Globes depend on a cavalcade of stars – something that won't materialise when the awards are handed out Feb 28 in a ceremony hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
