With the dawn of a new year, excitement builds for Moira Rose’s beloved season—awards season. The 2025 Golden Globes, a glamorous celebration of the finest in film and television, is scheduled to air on Sunday, January 5. This year’s ceremony will once again be broadcast live on CBS, featuring comedian Nikki Glaser as the host for the first time.
Glaser expressed her confidence regarding her hosting duties, stating that she feels assured in her abilities to succeed in this high-pressure role. Known for her memorable roast of Tom Brady in 2024, she seems ready to take center stage. The evening will spotlight Netflix’s “Emilia Pérez,” which has garnered a remarkable 10 nominations—the highest ever for a musical or comedy entry in Golden Globes history. Among those nominated for performances in the film are Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldaña, alongside Karla Sofía Gascón, who could make history as the first out transgender performer to win a top acting award at the Globes if she secures the best actress in a musical or comedy film title.
In the film category, “The Brutalist,” helmed by Brady Corbet, follows closely behind with seven nominations and is expected to win several awards, particularly with Adrien Brody favored for best lead actor in a drama.
The television realm sees familiar names like “The Bear,” which leads with five nominations, alongside new contenders such as “Shōgun,” “Baby Reindeer,” and “Nobody Wants This.” Noteworthy nominations include first-time nominee Cooper Koch for his role in Netflix’s “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” and Sebastian Stan, recognized for dual nominations for his performances in both dramatic and comedic roles.
The 82nd Golden Globes promises to be an evening filled with anticipation and recognition. Viewers can catch the event live from the Beverly Hilton, starting at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. Cord-cutters can also access the event through platforms like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and FuboTV, among others.
In addition to the awards presented to this year’s nominees, legends Viola Davis and Ted Danson will be honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award and the Carol Burnett Award, respectively, recognizing their significant contributions to film and television. Both will be celebrated during an untelevised function, with highlights from their speeches featured during the main event.
As viewers gear up for a night of talent, glitz, and emotional moments, the Golden Globes continue to showcase the power of storytelling in cinema and television, drawing attention to both seasoned and emerging talent.
This year’s event not only highlights the remarkable achievements of the artists involved but also fosters hope for a diverse and inclusive future in the entertainment industry, reflecting a range of voices and backgrounds in storytelling.
