When you can catch it

If you're available to watch the Golden Globes during the day — lucky you — FOX8 will be screening it live to air from 11am on Monday, when the red carpet kicks off. The ceremony itself begins at midday, so grab your snacks and settle in.

TV guides suggest the ceremony won't be broadcast on free-to-air TV, so the rest of us will just have to keep refreshing our Twitter feeds... or befriend people with pay TV.
