The Golden Globes returned to Los Angeles in a revamped format, and most of the bedecked and bejeweled nominees came back to their awards party. Meanwhile in New York, critics groups bestowed their own prizes for favorite 2023 films with plenty of star power of their own.
Back in L.A., Vanity Fair joined up with Amazon MGM Studios to celebrate all things entertainment at a raucous bash, while the Independent Spirit Awards had a more sedate brunch toasting their 2024 nominees. And apparently, the classy move of the season is to bring a non-industry date, from moms (Bradley Cooper) to spouses (Matt Damon) to children (Reese Witherspoon, Heidi Klum, Lisa Ann Walter) to besties (Taylor Swift).
