The Golden Globes ambassadors don’t have many duties at the awards show other than to assist presenters, hand out awards and escort winners off the stage. Still, it’s a big job that often leads to a successful career for those who fulfill it. Even some previous Mr. and Miss Golden Globes have gone one to become Golden Globe winners in their own right, such as Melanie Griffith.
Ahead of the 77th annual Golden Globe Awards on January 5, 2020, we looked back at the most significant and recognizable Golden Globes ambassadors over the years, from the first one in 1963 to more recent stars on the rise.
