First there was the People's Choice Awards; then the Critics Choice Awards last week, then, on Sunday night the stars were, once again, pulling out all the stops, this time for the Golden Globes.

Nanomax is a prescriptive range of treatments for individual hair types that uses nanotechnology to restore and repair hair.
Treatments are electronically misted onto the hair, then brushed in using a special ceramic brush. Unlike some salon treatments, Nanomax stays in the hair permanently.
There are two treatments to choose from: 3D Shine which offers softness, movement and gloss or Nanomax Colourlock which increases colour vibrancy and shine and helps prevent colour fade.
The price starts at £200 for a starter pack, but we're giving one lucky reader the chance to win a complete Nanomax Microsystem kit with 25 Colourlock treatments and 25 3D Shine treatments worth a total of £895.

HJ's news editor Matthew Batham gives a day-by-day account of his recent trip to the States with Redken for its international Symposium in Las Vegas and its UK Business Forum in the stunning Scottsdale, Arizona
SUNDAY
You can see Vegas from the airport runway - how often can you say that? Normally there's a drive of at least half an hour through non-descript suburbia before you reach any major city. But Vegas is right there, rising from the desert like a Toy Town version of an American metropolis.
There's a palpable buzz amongst the hairdressers arriving in the famous city for the Redken Symposium - an event that sees hairdressers from across the world descend on the entertainment capital for three days of seminars designed to motivate even the most cynical.
But before the education kicks in, there's the Grand Opening. Thousands pack into the massive auditorium at the Mandalay Bay hotel, and the buzz that started on the plane has now grown to a controlled roar. The night brings an all-singing-and-dancing spectacular - and the feel is definitely American. The key messages - "be the best you can be" and "find your professional edge." The audience is lapping it up with much whooping.
