The Golden Globes takes place as Donald Trump, who was opposed by most of the show business community, prepares to take office as the first United States president with a career in reality TV.

Viola Davis (Fences), Natalie Portman (Jackie) are widely expected to take home Golden Globes, while the revered Meryl Streep will get the annual lifetime achievement award.

Hosted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the Globes also hand out prizes for television and are often the first to honor new work, including drama series Mr. Robot in 2016.
