The 71st annual Golden Globes are underway. The stars have packed the Beverly Hilton Hotel in California and the night is off to a fabulous and funny start.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are hosting the Globes and started off the evening on the best note possible. The duo looked stunning in long ball gowns and proved that they are the best hosts for the evening. The jokes that Fey and Poehler made were modern, funny and made the entire audience laugh along with them. Fey and Poehler even joked that Gravity was the film that proved that George Clooney would rather drift into space and die instead of being a film with a woman his own age.
