We all know a new era dawns in Washington in approximately 12 days, but why should Hollywood wait? Kicking off the E! red carpet show at the 74th Annual Golden Globes on Sunday night, Ryan Seacrest served notice to all that as far as awards season goes, change starts now.

“‘Who are you wearing?’ That’s so done,” he said, not long before admitting he was, as it happened, wearing a chocolate-brown tuxedo from his Ryan Seacrest Distinction collection.

Conflict of interest issues aside, it was a provocative statement, even in a time when practically every day brings a new provocative statement over the Twitter superhighway.

Could it be true? Would 2017 usher in a time when actresses (and actors) did not have to name-check their clothes as part of the price of entry?
