Watch the Golden Globes 2012 Live-Streaming Online: A Few Possibilities (Alt Film Guide)

| Jan 14, 2012 | Comments
NBC will broadcast the 2012 Golden Globe Awards directly from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills on Sunday, January 15, 5-8 p.m. (PT)/8-11 p.m.

(ET). Ricky Gervais will once again serve as host (and roaster). Nominees range from Woody Allen to Madonna, from Asghar Farhadi's A Separation to Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin, from Maggie Smith to Amy Poehler. [Golden Globes 2012 winners here tomorrow.]

Among the presenters confirmed for 2012 Golden Globe awards are Antonio Banderas, Jessica Biel, Jimmy Fallon, Salma Hayek, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, Brad Pitt, Natalie Portman, and Reese Witherspoon.

Also: Madonna, Channing Tatum, Jane Fonda, Harrison Ford, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Emily Blunt, Johnny Depp, Colin Firth, Robert Downey Jr., Jake Gyllenhaal, Melissa McCarthy, Clive Owen, and Freida Pinto. (Surprisingly missing from the list of presenters are Daniel Radcliffe and Robert Pattinson. The Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 star has a new movie coming out soon, The Woman in Black; the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 star has his own movie coming out — at least in the United Kingdom — in a few weeks, Bel Ami.)

Now, how to watch the Golden Globes online? Before going anywhere, the best option is to head to NBC's official Golden Globes' website to find out if NBC will be live-streaming the ceremony online. If I remember it correctly, two or three years ago, the ceremony was live-streamed online. (Last year it was not.)

Else, there are several sites such as UStream, TV.com, and Justin.tv that may offer user-generated streams showing the ceremony. Bear in mind that many of those may be both of dubious legality and poor quality. But don't despair: the Golden Globes will be shown live on TV in dozens of countries. You'll surely have better luck — and a better viewing experience — by checking out your local television schedule and tuning in at the appropriate time.

And here are a couple more ways of watching the Golden Globes 2012 online: the Golden Globes' official Facebook page. Jessica Alba will be blogging the awards show live and there may be clips posted on the site as well. Hulu.com may also offer clips from the ceremony.

If we uncover an official Golden Globes 2012 live stream, we'll post a direct link to it on Sunday.
