    This coming weekend kicks off the first round of Awards Shows with the Golden Globes taking place on Sunday January 6th, hosted by Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg. While we still don’t know who will be hosting the Academy Awards (aka the Oscars) later in the year after that whole Kevin Hart thing, we DO know that actress Joanna Lumley (Absolutely Fabulous) will be returning to host the BAFTA Awards.
