Will & Grace star Debra Messing opted for a black dress with waterfall skirt over trousers on the red carpet, where she criticised the E! network for failing to pay women the same as men in a live interview on the channel.

Arriving at the Golden Globes, Messing referenced the departure of Catt Sadler, who resigned in December after learning her male co-star earned almost double her salary.

Messing told host Giuliana Rancic: “I was so shocked to hear that E! doesn’t believe in paying their female co-hosts the same as their male co-hosts. I miss Catt Sadler. We stand with her.”

The ceremony will be hosted by Seth Meyers at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
