Hollywood is preparing for its first awards ceremony of 2025 with a star-studded list of nominees for the Golden Globe Awards.
The annual event recognises excellence in both international film and television. This year’s Awards will take place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, in Beverly Hills, California on Monday (6 January).
Nominees were announced on 9 December with the divisive Emilia Peréz leading the pack on 10 nominations, while Hulu’s The Bear once again dominated the TV categories.
Films in contention for trophies at the forthcoming ceremony include hit musical Wicked, Sean Baker’s Palme d’Or-winning Anora and Brady Corbet’s epic drama The Brutalist, which was hailed a “masterpiece” after its festival premiere. The latter received seven nominations.
Edward Berger’s Conclave, starring Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci, has also received several nominations, as has Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, which stars nominees Timothée Chalamet and Edward Norton.
Stand-up comedian Nikki Glaser makes history as the first woman to solo host the Golden Globes. Her appointment comes after Jo Koy became the last-minute 2024 host, delivering a widely panned performance. This year’s presenters also include We Live in Time star Andrew Garfield, Parks and Recreation actor Aubrey Plaza, and The Substance’s Demi Moore.
The Awards will be broadcast on CBS, and US audiences can stream the show on Paramount+. There is no official channel to watch the ceremony in the UK.

Speaking on CBS Morning, Glaser said Gervais called her back “right away” and told her to just “‘be yourself’”.
He added: “‘You’ve not one of them. Don’t try to walk out there acting like you’re an A-lister. Just because you’re invited—you wouldn’t be if you weren’t the host.”
