Netflix's dominance has disrupted seating at the GoldenGlobes, where TV stars now get better tables than the film crowd
The streamer's dominance has disrupted seating at the awards show, where TV stars now get better tables than the film crowd, but, says former HFPA president Meher Tatna,"we do bend over backwards to make everyone happy."
It's a process that begins the moment the nominations are determined. That's when the seating team convenes to divide the guests into three sections of the 16,000-square-foot International Ballroom at the Beverly Hilton, which has a capacity for 1,300 people: The nominees — each of whom is permitted one guest — and major studio execs sit closest to the stage in the sunken area known as "the pit," specially designed to accommodate TV cameras.
The biggest change in recent years has been the convergence of film and TV crowds, which has mirrored the rise of streaming services. "In past years, it was mainly the film nominees that sat in the pit," she says. "But Netflix has 34 nominations this year — so you're seeing a lot of TV tables in the pit.
