4:59 PM: Agreed on Donald Glover! Loved Jill Soloway and Issa Rae. Had a blast with you, Chase! Now for the opening musical number—The Stranger Things kids are rapping!
Chase Burns
4:59 PM Well, that’s a wrap! Thanks for gabbing about the looks with me, Jenn.
Chase Burns
4:58 PM But no one’s hotter than Donald Glover, Jenn. Glover is my favorite look of the night. Natalie Portman is my fav look from the ladies.

4:57 PM But no one’s hotter than Donald Glover, Jenn. Glover is my favorite look of the night. Natalie Portman is my fav look from the ladies.
Jenn Campbell
4:56 PM: Totally missed Emma Stone in the star-strewn gown. Pretty, but a bit of a snooze for me. What do you think, Chase? Who have been your favorites tonight?

4:55 PM Okay, back to my big dilemma: Is Casey Affleck hot or creepy? I’ve decided he’s hot. Maybe super hot. BUT! Casey Affleck’s hotness is intrinsically connected to him being lowkey creepy.
Jenn Campbell
4:54 PM: Here's the full Glover:

4:52 PM Jenn, It’s never too early to plan matching Jill Soloway looks for any event.
Jenn Campbell
4:51 PM: Can you make me one too, Chase? Is it too early to call dual Jill Soloways as our Halloween look?
Chase Burns
4:50 PM Jenn, I’m so happy old brooches are trendy now. IDK if I’m allowed to mix Kerry Washington’s brooches with Jill Solway’s backpack, but I’m gonna try and pull it off.
Chase Burns
4:46 PM Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven in Stranger Things) looks adorably majestic in her Jenny Packham gown. She also wants Adele to sing at her birthday party. Let’s start a GoFundMe and make it happen.
Jenn Campbell
4:44 PM: Kerry Washington—also covered with old brooches!

4:39 PM Jenn! Yes! The menswear-inspired looks are wonderful. There are so many busy, metallic dresses tonight. Something must be said for Nicole Kidman’s McQueen dress. It’s confusing. Let’s just say I met a lot of drag queens at Kremwerk last night who were wearing something similar.
Jenn Campbell
4:38 PM: So much yellow on this carpet: Reese Witherspoon, Natalie Portman, Her Majesty Viola Davis.

4:36 PM:: Chase, I'm so glad to see all the great menswear-inspired looks, too. You can only pretend to be interested in sequins for so long. (Exception: Issa Rae in that Siriano.)
Chase Burns
4:35 PM Why is Ryan Seacrest pretending he knows nothing about theater and musicals? Come on, girl. I know you know the lyrics to La Cage aux Folles by heart.
Jenn Campbell
4:30 PM:: Here's a close-up if Issa Rae's incredible Christian Siriano gown.
Sending good vibes to this amazing woman @issarae! You look stunning in your custom Siriano gown tonight! Stay tuned for the full dress! #goldenglobes @goldenglobes

4:27 PM Ryan Seacrest just asked Viola Davis how she remembered all her lines for Fences. Davis, in her regal side-eye, reminded Seacrest that she nightly performed Fences on Broadway.
Chase Burns
4:25 PM Still no Lena Headey, but Sophie Turner’s arrived (Sansa on Game of Thrones). Turner looks like she’s auditioning for Westworld wearing a futuristic strappy robot dress thing.
Chase Burns
4:24 PM I’m with you, Jenn. Jill Soloway is my style icon right now.
Chase Burns
4:22 PM Octavia Spencer looks less Golden Globes and more corporate executive in a business casual suit made by her friend. It’s outshined by her Lorraine Schwartz jewelry.
Jenn Campbell
4:21 PM:: I must have every detail of Jill Soloway's outfit. Also...is she wearing a backpack on the red carpet?

4:17 PM Anthony Anderson, nominated for Black-ish, shows up with his kids. As Anderson said, “I made beautiful babies.” And he did! Every teenage girl is swooning over Anderson’s son.
Jenn Campbell
4:16 PM: So many dresses just encrusted with stuff. Sam Taylor-Johnson has an entire antique mall's worth of brooches on her.

4:08 PM Where’s Lena Headey? E! is plugging Mandy Moore and This Is Us, meanwhile Headey’s probably plotting from the Hollywood Hills.

Chase Burns
4:05 PM So many women in menswear! Evan Rachel Wood stands above the rest with a custom Altuzarra suit that’s an homage to David Bowie and Marlene Dietrich. This suit (and Wood) is iconic. Wood also wore an Altuzarra suit at Critics Choice award, but this is her best so far.
Chase Burns
4:00PM Winona Ryder’s here! She just said Stranger Things is the first ever “genre-thing she’s ever done.” Um, Heathers, Ryder.
Jenn Campbell
4:03 PM: Sarah Jessica Parker has gone full Princess Bride in a white satin Vera Wang ballgown and massive wraparound braid.
Jenn Campbell
4:01 PM: Jenna Bush is covering the red carpet for NBC because...
Chase Burns
3:57 PM OMG! Jenn! I’m in love with Donald Glover! That tux looks so good.
Jenn Campbell
3:52 PM: How about Donald Glover in this brown velvet tux? Damn!
Chase Burns
3:48 PM I’m living for Michelle William’s creepy-cute choker. If it wasn’t already official: chokers are back. (My grandma even sent me one for my birthday.)
Jenn Campbell
3:47 PM: It's so great to see Michelle Williams back in the game with her forever-date, Busy Philipps.

Jenn Campbell
3:46 PM: I'll accept your ruling as final, Chase.
Chase Burns
3:45 PM: By the end of this red carpet, I’d like to finally make a decision on whether I find Casey Affleck hot or creepy.
Jenn Campbell
3:45 PM: Jessica Biel's dress is looking very...crafty

Chase Burns
3:43 PM: Natalie Portman’s makes mustard yellow look presidential in her Prada dress.
Jenn Campbell
3:37 PM: The boys of Stranger Things!

Chase Burns
3:33 PM: Is it just me, or is Amy Adams, who speaks to aliens in Arrival, sounding a little British? Don’t let her fool you. Girl grew up in Minnesota!
Chase Burns
3:29 PM: I’m praying for a Heathers reunion on the red carpet with Winona Ryder and Christian Slater (both nominated tonight).

Jenn Campbell
3:28 PM: Tracee Ellis Ross, nominated for her work on Black-ish, has the most incredible filigree rings.

Chase Burns
3:22 PM: Apparently Mandy Moore is making a comeback. Seacrest keeps lingering over her. He’s been missing her like candy. (Real talk: Moore looks great in a plunging neckline and black off-the-shoulder dress.)
Chase Burns
3:15 PM: No big arrivals yet. The most exciting moment has been Ryan Seacrest out Giuliana Rancic's spray tan. Kris Jenner is serving '80s mom realness and reading from the wrong teleprompter. It's so silly.
Jenn Campbell
3:11 PM: Welcome everyone! I have spent all day demolishing a closet. So I'm feeling really butch and ready to talk about dresses!
