This Sunday, Hollywood’s biggest and brightest stars will walk the red carpet in Beverly Hills, get drunk, and have a blast at The Golden Globe Awards. While we’re all accustomed to borderline inappropriate jokes, amazing fashion, and heartfelt acceptance speeches, there’s a lot of things that go on behind-the-scenes that you never knew about!
1. In the past, there were two Miss Golden Globes. One for TV and one for film. Now there is just one, and she is traditionally the daughter of a star.

2. The first recipients of the Golden Globes, when they began in 1943, went home with scrolls noting their achievement, not statues.
