Awards season is offering a rare glimpse into stars’ lives this year — or at least into their living rooms.

The Golden Globes ceremony is usually held at the Beverly Hilton hotel, but because of the coronavirus pandemic, only Amy Poehler hosted on location on Sunday for the 2021 ceremony while co-host Tina Fey held down the fort from the Rainbow Room in New York City.

Other stars called in from their living rooms, hotels and even friends’ houses — like Jason Bateman, who streamed from BFF Jennifer Aniston’s home.

Check out a few of the top celebrity houses as seen on Zoom. Judging by fans’ reactions, Bill Murray’s house wins for the best background.

Bill Murray

Near Los Angeles

Bill Murray stole the evening in a tropical Hawaiian button-down shirt, martini in hand, with what appears to be the Los Angeles skyline behind him. A large tree and a green lawn stretch away from a windowed wall at his back.

Fans wanted to know more about the sprawling property in the background, but that remains a mystery. Property records only show that the 70-year-old “On the Rocks” actor owns homes in Malibu and Valley Center, south of Los Angeles. Neither of these properties appears to have views of Los Angeles, though.

Jason Bateman

Jennifer Aniston’s Bel Air, California, house

Jason Bateman was nominated for best performance by an actor in a television drama series — and he videoed into the Golden Globes from his pal Jennifer Aniston’s house, her Instagram Story shows.

Aniston’s library has dark brown built-in wooden shelves with recessed lighting featuring books and knickknacks in a curated red-colored palette.

From behind a ring light, Bateman’s laptop is visible resting on a stack of books atop a gorgeous round wood table. He sits on Aniston’s tufted chairs, and underneath his feet is a faded blue-and-white Anastasia rug.

Also on the table is a floral arrangement and Aniston’s own family pictures, including photos of her parents and one of her dogs. Aniston’s library also has a Lindsey Adelman branching bubble chandelier, a Robert Motherwell painting and a Jean Royère polar bear sofa, according to an Architectural Digest report.

Aniston’s InstaStory also shows her boyfriend Will Speck using a paint-by-number frog painting canvas as a bounce card for the 52-year-old “Ozark” star and his two daughters, Francesca, 14, and Maple, 9. Speck, Aniston and Bateman are known for their collaboration on Paramount’s 2016 film “Office Christmas Party.”

Aniston, 51, bought her $21 million, 500-square-foot Bel Air house in 2011. It has Asian-inspired pocket gardens, terraces, city and ocean views and an outdoor pool. Her home is designed with warm wood, stone and bronze, according to the listing.

Kate Hudson

Pacific Palisades home

Hudson, 41, was nominated for best actress, motion picture comedy or musical, for her role in Sia’s controversial film “Music.”

Even though Rosamund Pike won the award for her performance in “I Care A Lot,” it was Hudson’s couch that stole the stage.

The gorgeous embroidered couch features red and gold tree branches, birds and flowers.

Hudson’s mother Goldie Hawn, 75, and at least a dozen other friends and family piled onto the couch with her during the ceremony.

Green velvet curtains hang in the background, and a projector screen hangs off-camera, so Hudson can watch the ceremony.

Hudson appears to have streamed from her 6,431-square-foot, five-bedroom, five-bathroom home in Pacific Palisades, Calif. Hudson’s home is right next to the house she grew up in with her mother. The Country English-style home has a garden, a pool, a playhouse and canyon views, according to the Realtor.com listing.

Anya-Taylor Joy

Los Angeles hotel

Anya Taylor-Joy won best actress in a limited series, TV movie, for her hit Netflix TV show “Queen’s Gambit.”

But Taylor-Joy famously “doesn’t have a home,” and actually shot from an unspecified hotel room in Los Angeles, where she is shooting a new David O. Russell film. Her fiancé Eoin Macken also lives in Los Angeles.

Photos from her stylist’s Instagram reveal that it is an old-Hollywood-style hotel with art deco green patterned carpeting and ornate wrought iron handrails. Huge red marble pillars topped with decorative gold capitals flank a curtained-off stage, and super-tall windows and ceiling-high mirrors stretch up to high vaulted ceilings.

Inside the dimly-lit hotel room, Taylor-Joy sat on a white couch with a houndstooth pillow. Behind her was an art deco mirror surrounded by a four-layered wooden frame.

A grey table with a criss-cross fabric front holds a simple table lamp with a semi-clear base and a white shade. A large leafy plant stretched into Taylor-Joy’s shot along with a bouquet of white roses. Behind the white wall seen on camera is a dark brown wall.

Tiffany, which supplied Taylor-Joy’s jewelry, also gave glimpses into the hotel room, showing Los Angeles skyline views on a balcony or rooftop terrace.

Simone Ledward

Los Angeles home

Simone Ledward, the wife of the late Chadwick Boseman, accepted an award for best actor in a motion picture, drama on his behalf. The 43-year-old “Black Panther” star died of colon cancer in August.

She sat on a white crushed velvet couch with a white pillow patterned with soft florals. Three modern paintings with gold frames hung behind her, perfectly matching her gold dress. Next to her sat a blacktop wooden table with a black-and-gold lamp, photos show.

Ledward is originally from Los Angeles, and the pair lived there together until Boseman passed away this summer. It is not clear if she joined the awards ceremony from her own house or somewhere else. 

A sprawling Upper East Side mansion owned by publishing giant Richard “Dick” Synder, 88, has hit the market for $17 million — down from its original $26 million asking price back in 2012.

The eight-story, eight-bedroom townhouse at 120 E. 78th St. comes with eight fireplaces and more than 10,000 square feet.

Snyder was the former president, CEO and chairman of Simon & Schuster. The home was designed by architects Delano & Aldrich, who created some of the city’s key landmarks, like the Knickerbocker Club, the Colony Club, the Union Club and schools like Chapin and St. Bernard’s.

It was built in 1930 by banker Henry Winthrop, and its original details — including French paneling, hardwood floors and carved marble mantels — have been restored.

Snyder bought the home for $4.91 million in 1996, according to property records.

The facade of the townhouse features a curved marble staircase along with an iron fence, while the upper floors are red brick trimmed in limestone. The home also includes a large living room and dining room, a wood-paneled library, as well as an eat-in chef’s kitchen, a 600 bottle wine cellar and a gym with a Pilates studio and a massage room.

The outdoor space includes a garden and three terraces including one on the roof. The home is anchored by a staircase “capped” by a large skylight. There’s also an elevator.

The listing broker is Serena Boardman of Sotheby’s International Realty.

Just imagine the instructions.

IKEA is now in the business of making tiny houses. And luckily for triggered millennial furniture owners everywhere, you won’t need that disposable Allen wrench. It’s already built.

The Swedish furniture company is experimenting with prefab houses through their Ikea Tiny Home Project, selling 187-square-foot abodes on flatbed trailers.

The tiny house endeavor is a partnership with Vox Creative and RV builder Escape.

Currently, the only model available is the IKEA version of Escape’s Boho XL Wide model, which starts at $47,550. That’s about 368 POÄNG chairs, for anyone who’s counting.

Features in the IKEA version — which keeps an eye toward neutral tones, sustainability and that certain hygge touch — include kitchen cupboards made from recycled plastic bottles, built-in furniture and a collapsible desk, according to Lonely Planet. The XL has room for a queen-size bed, as well as living, kitchen and bathroom spaces, according to Escape’s promotional video.

A virtual tour shows the window-lined space furnished with IKEA cabinets and products.

“How I started was really listing out all the needs for the space,” IKEA senior interior design leader Abbey Stark said in a promotional video. “Like, how do you design around a wheel well and the mechanics of the home? I wanted to source renewable, reusable, and recycled materials when possible to make the space functional as well as beautiful.”

Tiny homes are all the rage among eco-conscious minimalist types, and have even managed to stay en vogue through the pandemic, when the last thing anyone wants is a smaller space.

But with perks including the trailer bed, compostable toilet and solar panels, IKEA’s tiny house has the work-from-anywhere appeal many have sought during the pandemic.

Yes, the kitchen is tiny, too.
