The 77th annual Golden Globe Awards will air live on Sunday, January 5, from the Beverly Hilton ballroom in Beverly Hills, California. Ricky Gervais will host the traditionally raucous show for the fifth (and supposedly final) time, which may mean viewers are in for an even more merciless night of roasting and satire than usual. Often considered a gauge for which films will earn Academy Awards honors, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's (HFPA) Golden Globes are the first stop on the Hollywood awards circuit for 2020.

The absence of Kevin Costner from the second half of Yellowstone's fifth season was one of the defining stories of the show's second half. While many fans may have missed Costner and his character, John Dutton, there was at least one member of the cast who thought Costner's absence made filming the show easier.

According to new leaks about the RTX 50-series, Nvidia may still keep its most popular GPU starved for VRAM. Wccftech claims that the RTX 5060 will retain an 8GB memory configuration combined with a 128-bit bus. Does this mean that the RTX 5060 won't find its footing among some of the best graphics cards? Not necessarily.

The publication cites its own sources as it reveals some of the specs for Nvidia's more affordable GPUs, ranging from the RTX 5070 Ti to the RTX 5060. And while there are some changes, it does seem that, for the most part, Nvidia is satisfied with its approach to video memory -- which games like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle are constantly putting to the test. Newer AAA games will only push for higher memory capacities, which we may not find in Nvidia's most affordable GPU, but the rest of the stack is looking a little better. Let's go over the specs.
