The Golden Globe Awards are set to make a highly anticipated return in 2025, following years of controversy and organizational changes. This year’s ceremony will take place live on CBS and Paramount+ on Sunday, January 5, starting at 8 PM ET, with comedian Nikki Glaser taking on the role of host.
The event will no longer be associated with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which had faced numerous allegations over the years regarding ethical conduct. Instead, the Golden Globes are now owned by Dick Clark Productions—longtime producers of the live ceremony—and Eldridge Industries, ushering in a new era for the awards.
This year’s awards feature an updated range of categories, including a new honor for “Best Cinematic and Box Office Achievement.” Nominees in this category include high-profile titles such as Wicked, Deadpool & Wolverine, Inside Out 2, and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
The nominations span several categories celebrating excellence in both film and television, with some of the highlights including:
– Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Drama, featuring Donald Glover and Gary Oldman among others.
– Best Motion Picture – Animated, which sees contenders like Inside Out 2 and Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl.
– Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, with nominees including Amy Adams in Nightbitch and Cynthia Erivo for Wicked.
As the awards season unfolds, the excitement builds around the nominees and expected performances during the event. The Golden Globes promise to be a showcase of artistic accomplishments and a moment of celebration for the entertainment industry.
As we look forward to the awards, this edition of the Golden Globes symbolizes hope for a refreshed and more inclusive Hollywood landscape. It will not only honor creative talent but also mark a step toward addressing past concerns in the industry. With a diverse lineup of nominees, audiences can expect inspiring moments and a renewed sense of celebration in the world of film and television.
