The Host of the Night

Glaser, who had previously given a breakout performance during Comedy Central’s “The Roast of Tom Brady,” was announced as the host in August. She shared that Ricky Gervais gave her some insightful advice for the big night: “Just be yourself. You’re not one of them. Don’t try to walk out there acting like you’re an A-lister just because you’re invited.”
The Venue
The awards show took place at The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. The lavish hotel witnessed a night filled with glitz and glamour, setting the tone for upcoming awards shows in Hollywood.
