Now, the first big film awards of the season take place later with the 82nd Golden Globes in Los Angeles. A win at the Globes can boost a film's profile, just as BAFTA and Oscar voters are preparing to make their nominations. La correspondent Emma Vardy reports.

The Golden Globes kicks off Hollywood's awards season with what's known as the biggest party of the year. And I've been getting a little look at how the celebrities get ready. But first, the runners and riders.

Here we go.

You're green. I am. Wicked: The Wizard of Oz reimagined has been spellbinding audiences as a stage show for two decades. Now, as one of the biggest films of the year, it could win Best Musical or Comedy at the Globes, with Cynthia Riva and Ariana Grande up for acting awards. Are you English?

No, I'm not English.

But the surprise stand out with the most nominations is Amelia Perez, a film about a transgender Mexican drug lord. Kate Winslet is nominated for her roles in the film Lee and TV's The Regime, while Daniel Craig and Ralph Fienes are both up for best actor. Denzel Washington has his 11th Golden Globes nomination for Gladiator 2. But awards season is about much more than the accolades. It's a chance for celebrities and designers to make their mark on the red carpet. So stylists like Geran are busy behind the scenes.

How you look, the appearance is the most important thing on red carpet.

How do you decide what dress a celebrity should wear?

I work according to their personality, their style. You imagine it first, and then when you see it on the red carpet, and then when people love it or like it, you feel satisfied. Do this now.

Having a dress is one thing, but it's nothing without the right pose, because even if you're not walking away with an award, getting snapped with a memorable look on the red carpet. Right. Next. Wilming media attention in scenes and keep celebrities in the spotlight.

Okay.

Love it. It's always good to have a quick change for the after-party. Because of all the awards, the Golden Globes is known as the biggest knees up of the lot. I think we are red carpet ready. Sky's the limit. And the night can also hold clues for who may do well at the Oscars later in the season. Emma Vardy, BBC News, Los Angeles.
