Since Katie will be unavailable to attend the Golden Globes this year with her Globe-nominated hubby, her father will be going in her place!

Tom told The View that he'll be taking Katie's dad, along with his mom, to the ceremony, but that Katie, who will be bringing the curtain down on her All My Sons run that night, will join him later!

"She's going to meet me afterward," Tom told the women of The View. "We'll be at the parties together."

Hey, the parties are the best part, right?
