Golden Globe nominations: What to expect today
The 82nd Golden Globe nominations will be announced on Monday, setting the stage for a star-studded awards season. Here’s a preview of the expected nominees, hot contenders, and key details about the big day.
Expect a range of A-list actors vying for Golden Globe recognition, with Zendaya (Challengers), Timothée Chalamet (A Complete Unknown), Daniel Craig (Queer), Denzel Washington (Gladiator II), Ariana Grande (Wicked), and Selena Gomez (Emilia Perez) all strong contenders. The Golden Globes, still recovering from years of controversy, will rely on their star-studded lineup to regain their prestige.
When and where to watch
Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut will announce the nominations on Monday at 8:15 am EST, which is 6:45 pm IST on Monday. Tune in via CBS News' website, YouTube channel, or the CBS News Mobile App. Starting at 8:30 am EST (7:00 pm IST), CBS Mornings will unveil nominations in 10 categories. The Golden Globe ceremony itself will take place on Sunday, January 4, with comedian Nikki Glaser hosting.
Big names and big films
Jon M. Chu’s Wicked is expected to dominate this year’s nominations, buoyed by its massive box office success. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are likely to be recognized for their standout performances.
The film The Apprentice, which stars Sebastian Stan as a young Donald Trump, could also receive nominations despite mixed reactions. However, Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong, who portrays Roy Cohn, have earned critical acclaim.
The Globes separate top awards between drama and musical/comedy categories, which often causes confusion when predicting the Oscars. This year, films like Conclave, Anora, Emilia Perez, The Brutalist, and Wicked are all vying for attention, making for a highly competitive race.
The Golden Globes have introduced two new categories: cinematic and box office achievement, and best performance in stand-up comedy on television. Additionally, Ted Danson will receive the Carol Burnett Award, and Viola Davis will be honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award. These prestigious lifetime achievement awards will be presented at a gala dinner on January 3.
Television show nominees
Several popular series are expected to see multiple nominations, including The Bear, Only Murders in the Building, and possibly Shogun, Slow Horses, Hacks, and Baby Reindeer. Selena Gomez could even be a two-time nominee, thanks to her roles in Only Murders in the Building and Emilia Perez.
Following controversies surrounding the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the Globes are still rebuilding their reputation. Last year’s show marked the first ceremony after the HFPA’s disbandment and its acquisition by Dick Clark Productions and Todd Boehly’s Eldridge Industries. However, recent reports have raised concerns about the legality of the acquisition, signaling that the drama may not be over just yet.
