Seth Meyers to Open Golden Globes with a Politically Charged Monologue
People.com: This Sunday, all eyes will be on Seth Meyers as he hosts the 75th annual Golden Globe Awards following the sexual harassment scandals that have rocked Hollywood in recent months.
The first-time Globes host, 44, tells PEOPLE that his opening monologue will be charged by politics, much like his show Late Night with Seth Meyers, but that the focus will be more on his industry than the White House.
“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,” he says, referencing the headlines made by Harvey Weinstein and other major entertainment figures accused of sexual misconduct. “Going into it our focus is far more on the worlds that make these films and less on anything that’s happening in Washington.”
