DStv to show the 72nd Golden Globe Awards live on M-Net Movies Premiere

African viewers will be able to watch Sunday’s upcoming 72nd Golden Globe Awards again as a live broadcast early on Monday morning, as well as during primetime on Monday night as a recorded broadcast, with pay-TV broadcaster M-Net which secured the broadcasting rights.

The 72nd Golden Globe Awards will be broadcast live this coming Monday morning, 12 January, on the M-Net Movies Premiere (DStv 103) channel at 3am WAT.

The 2015 Golden Globes – with hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler back for their third consecutive year – will then again be broadcast on Monday night on M-Net (DStv 101) with a repeat broadcast at 10:30pm WAT during primetime.

The annual red carpet ceremony is taking place at The Grand Budapest Hotel Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles this Sunday night and will this year be shown in 160 countries.

The 2015 Golden Globe Awards has jumped to a much earlier date this year to get ahead of the pack.

As more and more award shows honouring film and television are added every year to the calendar, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) decided to get out in front of the growing number of red carpet ceremonies cluttering the calendar.
