It's a new year and award season officially starts with the Golden Globes 2018 as the Hollywood Foreign Press organization celebrate the best of television and movies. Seth Meyers is set to host the gala and you can expect him to address the issue that plagues the industry. “With the monologue, as far as talking about anything in the news right now, it seems like this year more than ever Hollywood has its own internal politics that obviously deserve to be talked about,” he told People magazine. “Going into it our focus is far more on the worlds that make these films and less on anything that’s happening in Washington.”
