Celebrity couple Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas named Golden Globes presenters
It’s date night at the Golden Globes.
Celebrity couples Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas, and Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon, will be among the presenters at the upcoming ceremony on Feb. 28.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association named the second batch of presenters Friday, including co-stars Sterling K. Brown and Susan Kelechi Watson, who play an onscreen couple on “This Is Us.”
The ceremony will reunite several nominees and winners from last awards season. Joaquin Phoenix, Cynthia Erivo, Renée Zellweger and Awkwafina are among the first batch of presenters announced Wednesday by the HFPA.
âBarb and Starâ actresses Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo are also headed to the Globes.
âBarb & Star Go to Vista Del Marâ was released last weekend and some are already calling the campy film a cult classic. It comes 10 years after the pairâs hit, âBridesmaids.â
The Globes, which is collaborating with philanthropic partner Feeding America this year, will be bicoastal for the first time, with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler serving as hosts. Fey will host live from New York and Poehler from Beverly Hills, California.

The Critics Choice Association also announced that the 26th annual Critics’ Choice Awards will air live March 7. The BAFTA awards have moved to April 11 and also changed eligibility rules so that films whose theatrical releases were curtailed or switched to online-only releases will be eligible for consideration.
