What’s it really like reporting on awards season? All-consuming and exhausting

The Golden Globes are behind us, but more long nights of liveblogging and video-clipping await

Joaquin Phoenix was concerned for journalists backstage at the Golden Globes on Sunday night, where he won Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for his lead role in Joker.

He was apparently “tricked” into entering the press room under the false impression he was just appearing for more photographs, but became infuriated when it turned out he was being interviewed again. But he still asked if everybody was OK.

“Is it all right or is it awful? Do they bring you food? Do they have drinks?” he asked, before adding: “There’s more space in here than there was out there.”
