FIFA's glitzy Ballon d'Or Gala takes place on Jan. 11 in Zurich, when either Lionel Messi, Neymar or Cristiano Ronaldo will be rewarded for being brilliant at football.
These types of ceremonies have a habit of dragging on a bit, in truth, which puts a lot of pressure on those hosting on the stage.
Who will be fronting the coverage this year? Well, it's going to be TV presenter Kate Abdo for a second year running.
Also, however, we will be graced by actor James Nesbitt, he of the film trilogy "The Hobbit."

It's a left-field choice, but we say good luck to the Northern Irish actor and Manchester United fan.
