The Golden Globes 2025: What to expect and how to watch
The 82nd Golden Globe Awards are set to take place on Sunday, 7 January 2025. After a rocky few years, the prestigious awards show aims to bring back its entertaining spirit with new host Nikki Glaser at the helm.
This year, comedian Nikki Glaser will take over the hosting duties at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. The show promises star power, with nominees such as Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet, Angelina Jolie, and Denzel Washington, among many others.
Nominees and big contenders
The show will feature strong contenders, including the Netflix musical Emilia Pérez with 10 nominations, followed by The Brutalist with seven and Conclave with six. On the TV front, popular shows like The Bear, Shogun, and Only Murders in the Building lead the pack.
The Best Actor in a Drama category is shaping up to be an exciting contest. Nominees include Ralph Fiennes, Adrien Brody, Daniel Craig, and Timothée Chalamet, who is nominated for A Complete Unknown. If Chalamet wins, it could be a significant stepping stone toward an Oscar nomination.
Potential drama behind the scenes
Blake Lively recently filed a lawsuit against It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni, accusing him of harassment. While it's unclear if this will be mentioned during the ceremony, the incident is likely to be on the minds of many attendees, with Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool & Wolverine also up for an award.
While the Golden Globes may typically avoid politics, the nomination of The Apprentice, a drama about Donald Trump, could bring some political tension to the evening. With nominees like Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong, there is potential for discussions about Hollywood's stance toward politics.
How to watch
With no clear frontrunner for Best Picture, the Golden Globes will play a crucial role in shaping the awards season. Films like Conclave, Anora, Wicked, Emilia Pérez, and The Brutalist are all strong contenders, and a big win could bolster their Oscar campaigns.
The Golden Globe Awards will be broadcast live on CBS and can be streamed on Paramount+ with Showtime starting at 8:00 pm EST. Indians can stream the awards gala from 5:30 am on January 6 on Lionsgate Play. Get ready for an exciting night of awards, entertainment, and plenty of star-studded moments.
