Golden Globes
Often seen as a precursor to who will receive an Oscar, this annual event hands out awards to actors, directors, and other artists in all kinds of entertainment—film, television, domestic, and foreign. Members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association vote for the favourites, and even though the group is not very big, it gets big attention with this glitter-and-glam festival of top names and talent. Designed to be more relaxed than the high-stakes Oscars, the Golden Globes let celebrities and stars sit at round tables, complete with dinner and bottles of bubbly, and speeches can be a bit more fun and unrehearsed. And here is a nice aside that is not touted much: the awards show generates millions of dollars for the non-profit associations. More than $15 million has been donated to entertainment-related charities and scholarships.

With a pine-and-peak alpine setting and a relaxed and friendly ambiance, this appealing event in Bear Valley, roughly halfway between Lake Tahoe and Yosemite, includes performances by outstanding musical artists. Launched in 1967, the festival features a full symphony orchestra, international soloists, and legendary entertainers at pretty outdoor venues. Classical works, opera, Broadway show tunes, and opening weekend acts of contemporary and country music are offered, with past guest artists ranging from the Mamas and the Papas, to Big Bad Voodoo Daddies.
