Comedian Nikki Glaser is set to make her hosting debut at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards. Typically, the host begins the awards night with a monologue that looks back at the year that has been in the world of showbiz. Some jokes and jibes at the expense of stars are always made. But Glaser will be keeping out any kind of joke about Blake Lively and her ongoing legal tussle with her co-star and It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni. Glaser in an interview last week also mentioned that she would not be making jokes about President-elect Donald Trump. She said, ''People are just tired of hearing about it, even though it’s looming and it’s in the air.”

All eyes are on Payal Kapadia, whose film All We Imagine As Light has secured a nomination in the Best Film category along with award-season favourite Emilia Perez. Kapadia is also in the running for her work in the Best Director category. The film created history last year, becoming the first Indian film to win the prestigious Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival. The Malayalam/English/Hindi film is an Indo-French production and marks Kapadia's debut as a feature film director. If Payal wins tonight, then she will be the first Indian director to be winning a Golden Globe.
