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.
Who will win – and who should win?
Louis Chilton and Adam White survey the major categories at the Globes to determine which films and TV shows will reign supreme, from The Substance and Baby Reindeer to Nobody Wants This and Anora:

Can Nikki Glaser be the new Ricky Gervais and give Hollywood the roasting it deserves?
Last May, Nikki Glaser tackled the greatest quarterback in the history of American football and made herself a star in the process. Even comedy greats were impressed by Glaser’s roast of Tom Brady.
“No one is gonna do a better roast set than that,” Conan O’Brien told her, adding that all future roasts will be measured against it. “Where is it on the Nikki Glaser scale? ‘It’s a 6.2.’ That’s pretty good, but it’s not her 10.”

Ricky Gervais on the jokes he’d tell if he were hosting this year
Five-time Golden Globes host Ricky Gervais has revealed how he’d kick off his monologue if he had Nikki Glaser’s job this year, writing on social media:
“Hello, and welcome to the 82nd Golden Globe awards. What a year it’s been. Hundreds of entertainers jumped at the chance to go to The Vatican to meet The Pope. Many from Hollywood. Obviously they weren’t content with only being part of the second biggest paedo ring in the world…”

During an episode of Today with Hoda & Jenna on Monday (December 9), the two TV hosts discussed the Golden Globes nominations, which were announced earlier that morning. Kotb prefaced that both she and her colleague were “angry” about the topic, before noting that it was on their “jangily list.”
Can Nikki Glaser give Hollywood the roasting it deserves?
“Glaser is set to continue in that no-holds-barred lineage. Last month, she revealed she’d approached Gervais for advice about how to nail the gig, telling CBS: “His advice was just: ‘Be yourself. You’re not one of them. Don’t try to walk out acting like you’re an A-lister, just because you’re invited.’”
