I have a soft spot for awards shows and will admit having as much interest in the red carpet/gossip worthy arrivals as to the shows themselves but over the last few years, I haven’t put much effort into seeing anything aside from the Oscars but this year, I may have to make a special exception for the Golden Globes.

According to recent news this year’s awards show, which airs and January 11th, will have a very special guest in attendance and I for one, can’t wait to see what sort of reception he gets. The only actor to make Newsweek’s 50 Most Powerful, Shah Rukh Khan has been invited to present an award at the Golden Globes, the first time in the award’s history that an Indian celebrity has been invited to present.

Apparently the invitation has been extended but Khan hasn’t “officially” signed on yet though I have a hard time believing he would pass up the great opportunity. I can’t wait to see him grace North American TV screens.

I’ve marked my calendar!

Thanks again to Ramchandra Solanki for the heads up!
