Meanwhile, Sandra Oh on her hosting gig said, "The job of being a host, it's really to be there to support all the nominees and those who take that platform to say whatever they want. I don't really think that [getting political] is for the hosts necessarily. You make it an open and safe place for whoever wants to use that platform to speak."
She continued, "I'm not interested in [talking about Trump] at all. What I'm interested in is pointing to actual real change."
Golden Globes will go live from the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, on Sunday, January 6 (January 7 morning in India).
