Long dubbed "Hollywood's Party of the Year," the Golden Globe Awards could always be counted on to deliver a boozy, star-studded TV show, presided over by a celebrity host who would aim some of the evening's sharpest jokes at the awards themselves.

But when the Hollywood Foreign Press Association hands out this year's awards on Sunday, there will be no party atmosphere: No TV show. No stars. No host.
