The Golden Globes are upon us. While celebrities will be dressed to the nines in their red carpet wear and get dropped off to the awards show in Beverly Hills in their limos, the rest of us common folk will face some street closures and no-parking zones for a good part of this weekend.
The event will be held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday, but some of the street closures and no-parking zones will go into effect on Saturday. Here are the areas to avoid:

- However, S. Santa Monica Blvd. (aka Little Santa Monica Blvd.) will be open throughout the weekend.
- Whittier Dr. from Lomitas Ave. to Wilshire Blvd. will be shut off to through traffic on Sunday. For people who live on Whittier Dr. between Wilshire Blvd. and Elevado Ave., they'll be able to gain car access to their street.
