The 80th Golden Globe Awards are set to take place on January 5, 2025, with host Nikki Glaser leading the ceremony. Here’s a guide on how to watch the event live and what to expect from the nominees for best picture.
The Golden Globes, once criticized for their lack of diversity in nominees, have taken steps to increase representation among its voting body. This year’s ceremony aims to bring some clarity to the best picture race, which has seen “Oppenheimer” lead the pack last year but no clear winner emerge yet. With 12 films nominated for best drama or musical/comedy, the competition is fierce.
Seven films are vying for top honors, including Sean Baker’s Cinderella story “Anora,” Brady Corbet’s postwar immigrant epic “The Brutalist,” and Jacques Audiard’s narco musical “Emilia Pérez.” The latter has garnered 10 nominations, making it a strong contender.
For those interested in watching the event live, here are your options:
– CBS is broadcasting the ceremony at 8 p.m. Eastern time.
– The show can also be streamed on Paramount+, but only for premium subscribers with access to Showtime.
– Live streaming services such as Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, and FuboTV offer access to CBS.
Fans of red carpet arrivals will have several platforms to check in, including Variety, Entertainment Tonight, and the official Golden Globes website. The lineup of presenters includes Nicolas Cage, Colman Domingo, Andrew Garfield, Demi Moore, Anya Taylor-Joy, Brandi Carlile, Elton John, and Nate Bargatze.
The 2025 Golden Globe Awards also mark a change in how two top honors are presented. The Cecil B. DeMille and Carol Burnett awards will be recognized at a separate gala dinner on Friday evening, with prerecorded highlights shown during the main ceremony.
Key nominees for best picture include “Emilia Pérez,” “The Brutalist,” “Conclave,” and “Anora.” On the TV side, Season 3 of FX’s restaurant dramedy “The Bear” is leading in nominations.
Karla Sofía Gascón from “Emilia Pérez” could make history as a first transgender actress to win a Globe for a film performance.
The Golden Globes’ statuettes are surprisingly heavy: each one weighs 7.8 pounds, similar in weight to a gallon of milk.
