It’s the traditional kick off for the Golden Globes, when the red carpet is rolled out for the first time at the Beverly Hilton. This year first-time hosts Andy Samberg and Sandra Oh joked as they attempted to kick the heavy carpet amidst a sea of press rolling their cameras for the perfect shot.

Host Seth Meyers, HFPA president Meher Tatna, dick clark productions CEO Allen Shapiro and producer Barry Adelman were on hand at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, for the official rollout of the red carpet. The tradition marks the start of the final countdown to the Golden Globes ceremony which will take place Sunday, January 7 5-8 PM (Pacific) and broadcast live on NBC.
