Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were announced as the hosts of the ceremony, for the fourth time, in January 2020,{{cite web |url=https://www.goldenglobes.com/articles/tina-fey-and-amy-poehler-hosts-78th-golden-globes |title=Tina Fey and Amy Poehler: Hosts of the 78th Golden Globes |publisher=Hollywood Foreign Press Association |date=January 12, 2020 |access-date=November 10, 2020 |language=en}} but for the very first time to co-host the Golden Globes bicoastally, both from Manhattan and from Beverly Hills, California. By June 2020, the HFPA decided to postpone the ceremony from its normal date in early January to February 28 due to both the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cinema and on television production. On February 2, 2021, it was reported that the ceremony would be held from both the Rainbow Room in New York City and the Golden Globes' usual home at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, allowing those on the East Coast to participate without having to make the cross-country trip.

According to the review aggregator website Metacritic, which sampled 15 critic reviews and calculated a weighted average score of 35 out of 100, the ceremony received "generally unfavorable reviews".{{cite web |url=https://www.metacritic.com/tv/the-golden-globe-awards/season-78 |title=The Golden Globe Awards: Season 78 |publisher=Metacritic |access-date=March 3, 2021 |archive-date=March 2, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210302003842/https://www.metacritic.com/tv/the-golden-globe-awards/season-78 |url-status=dead }} On Rotten Tomatoes, 10% of 21 critics have given the ceremony a positive review, with an average rating of 3.52/10. The critics consensus on the website reads: "Disappointingly dull and disturbingly lacking in self-awareness, The 78th Golden Globes ceremony wastes its menagerie of celebrities—and some well-deserved wins—on a stilted ceremony overshadowed by HFPA's questionable behind-the-scenes behavior."{{cite web |url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/golden_globes/s78 |title=Golden Globes: 78th Golden Globe Awards (2021) |publisher=Rotten Tomatoes |access-date=March 3, 2021}}

It's a story about an immigrant family, IN America, pursuing the American dream. We really need to change these antiquated rules that characterize American as only English-speaking".

=Viewership=

The ceremony received 6.9 million viewers in the United States, with a 1.5 Nielsen rating among adults 18 to 49, representing a 68% drop in viewership from the previous year's ceremony. It is the least viewed Golden Globe Awards telecast since the 65th Golden Globe Awards in 2008, which was solely a press conference due to the 2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike.
