Hiring a babysitter for her darling brood, Jennifer Garner showed up at the 70th Golden Globe Awards earlier tonight (January 13).

The 40-year-old actress showed off her red carpet prowess in a rosy red dress as she hobnobbed with fellow famous folks outside the Beverly Hilton Hotel and prepared for her award presentation.

The 2013 Golden Globes promises to be an entertaining affair, thanks to fierce competition in every single category there is.

For instance, the Best Motion Picture- Comedy of Musical nominees include “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel,” “Les Miserables,” “Moonrise Kingdom,” “Salmon Fishing in the Yemen,” and “Silver Linings Playbook.”
