Who's the Newest Miss Golden Globe?

As an entertainment junkie, I just love award show season. It's similar to how normal people enjoy sports. I view each big award show as a playoff match with the Academy Awards as the ultimate championship. The Golden Globes are a pivotal award show in this scheme. Every year the Hollywood Foreign Press names a Miss Golden Globe, who is usually the daughter of a famous celebrity. Miss Golden Globe is responsible for handing out the statues to the winners on the big night. This year Kelsey Grammer's daughter Greer Grammer was chosen as Miss Golden Globe.

The honor is a great opportunity for aspiring starlets to get in the spotlight and literally rub shoulders with Hollywood's elite. Dakota Johnson, the daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, was Miss Golden Globe before landing her role in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie. Rumer Willis, the daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, was Miss Golden Globe before landing various movie and television roles herself. So this is definitely a great sign of things to come for Greer Grammer's career. Let's learn a little more about the aspiring star before she takes the stage at the Golden Globes.

She Is Named After a Famous Actress

Greer Grammer is the daughter of actor Kelsey Grammer and Barrie Buckner. The former couple named their daughter after renowned actress Greer Garson.

She Is a College Graduate

Greer Grammer graduated with a degree in theater from the University of Southern California.

She Is Awkward on TV

Yes, that's where you recognize her from. Grammer plays the role of Lissa on MTV's hit show Awkward.

She Has a Burgeoning Film Career

Grammer is staring in the upcoming movie Life Partners with Leighton Meester, Adam Brody, and Gillian Jacobs about "two codependent best friends — one straight girl, one lesbian — and the man who comes between them." That sounds like some juicy stuff.

With Laura Dern and Melanie Griffith among previous Miss Golden Globes, it is clear that this title is a great first step to stardom. It will be great to see Grammer at the show and even better to see where her career goes beyond that.
