‘Like a maze getting to the stage’: #GoldenGlobe winners face ‘celebrity obstacle course’

The #GoldenGlobe broadcast is three hours long, but perhaps one-third of that time is being spent watching the award winners trek from their seats to the stage:

#GoldenGlobes Why do people have to walk so far to the stage? Eating up their acceptance speech time.

5 minutes just to walk to the stage. Can't we get these nominees a Segway or something, it's 2014 for crying out loud. #GoldenGlobes

Taking winners forever to get to the stage. Who let Chris Christie do the seating chart?

Why is the walk to the stage at the Golden Globes like a half K through a sale at Macy's?

Maybe the producers are just having a little fun with the celebs:

Seriously do have to make all the tv people work that hard to get up on stage when they're likely drunk? #GoldenGlobes

Even a restaurant chain took notice:

The walk to the stage is so long we're gonna put a Denny's at the halfway point for delicious pit stops. #GoldenGlobes
