The nominees have been announced and now the famous names who will be handing out the prized trophies have been revealed.

The first batch of Golden Globe presenters, who will possibly be giving awards to big names such as Clint Eastwood, Brad Pitt and Martin Scorsese, have been announced ahead of the January 15 ceremony.

Ashley Judd is currently joining the line of celebrities who are hoping to make a difference in the world through humanitarian efforts, but admits she gets by with a little help from her music friend.

Ashley recently revealed her love of U2's music and help from Bono inspired her to get involved with charity work.

Just because stars may be a little more familiar with the way Hollywood works, that doesn't mean they don't still get excited for the product - apparently, Salma Hayek was so excited to see Martin Scorsese's new film The Departed that she dragged gal pal Mia Maestro along! (Salma was a lot less excited to see us, however - she got downright frigid the moment she learned we were with X17! Geez, Salma - did we get all huffy when you forgot to invite us?)
