The Golden Globes are taking place in the US on Sunday night, celebrating the most outstanding work in film and TV in the past year. From the most nominated films and the number of presenters, to the weight of the much-coveted statuettes, here's everything you need to know about the Golden Globes by numbers...
75
This is the 75th annual Golden Globes. The first ceremony aired way back in January 1944, with Hollywood stars including Paul Lukas and Jennifer Jones taking home the first ever awards, while The Song of Bernadette won the first Best Picture award.
One
This will be the first time that Seth Meyers has hosted the Golden Globes. He recently opened up to People about addressing the recent sexual harassment revelations in Hollywood, explaining: "With the monologue, as far as talking about anything in the news right now, it seems like this year more than ever Hollywood has its own internal politics that obviously deserve to be talked about. Going into it our focus is far more on the worlds that make these films and less on anything that's happening in Washington."

Big Little Lies led the TV category with six nominations, including Best Miniseries or TV film, Best Actress in a Miniseries for Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman, and Best Supporting Actor in a Miniseries for Alexander Skarsgård.

30
At least 30 women are expected to wear black at the Golden Globes to protest sexual harassment against women. According to Us Weekly, only a small amount of women originally planned to make the protest, but the idea spread. Stars including Meryl Streep, Jessica Chastain and Emma Stone are expected to dress in black on the night.
Three
Three individuals received two nominations apiece for their work. Mary J. Blige received a Best Song nomination for the Mudbound song Mighty River, as well as Best Supporting Actress for her role in the same film. Meanwhile, Guillermo del Toro and Martin McDonagh are both nominated for Best Director and Best Screenplay for their work on The Shape of Water and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri respectively.

5.5
A Golden Globe award weighs 5.5 pounds and is 10.75 inches tall. The design of a globe circled by a film strip was decided in 1945, and the award was slightly redesigned by Society Awards in 2008, giving it a marble base and altering the top to make it more durable.
