The 82nd Golden Globe Awards are this Sunday, kicking off awards season and the race to the Oscars in March. (Those nominees will be announced Friday, Jan. 17.) As infamous as they are, the Globes are at least a reliable source of entertainment for spotting drunk celebrities on a Sunday night. Here’s how to tune in, plus other important information about this year’s ceremony.
When are the 2025 Golden Globes?
The Golden Globes are this Sunday, Jan. 5, at the Beverly Hilton and air (officially) from 8pm ET/5pm PT to 11pm ET/8pm PT. (Like every other award show ever, it will almost definitely run over; my over/under bet is 27 minutes.)
How can I stream the Golden Globes?
Since CBS is broadcasting the event, you can stream it live from the CBS app with your cable login credentials, if you have those, or Paramount+ if you have the subscription plan that includes Showtime. (Free trials last seven days.) Users with a Paramount+ Essential plan can stream on Monday. You can also watch via a live TV service, such as Fubo, Sling TV, DirectTV Stream, Hulu + Live TV, or YouTube TV (all with free trials of their own!).
If you’re not in the US and have the illness of needing to watch all the American awards shows live (relatable), a reliable VPN for streaming is your access ticket; Express VPN is our top pick.
Who’s hosting the Golden Globes this year?
Comedian Nikki Glaser, who has been the standout participant in several roasts (see most recently: Tom Brady). She’s also a nominee in the Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television category for her special Someday You’ll Die, which premiered on Max back in May. She’ll be the first woman soloing hosting duties at the Globes; since 2010, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey tag-teamed as hosts four times, and Sandra Oh was paired with Andy Samberg in 2019. Here’s hoping her monologue goes over a lot better than Jo Koy’s cringefest last year.
Who’s presenting at the Golden Globes this year?
The presenters announced include Andrew Garfield, Anthony Mackie, Anya Taylor-Joy, Ariana DeBose, Aubrey Plaza, Auliʻi Cravalho, Colin Farrell, Colman Domingo, Demi Moore, Dwayne Johnson, Jeff Goldblum, Jennifer Coolidge, Ke Huy Quan, Margaret Qualley, Michael Keaton, Michelle Yeoh, Nicolas Cage, Rachel Brosnahan, Rob McElhenney, Seth Rogen, Vin Diesel, Viola Davis, Zoë Kravitz, and many more.
What movies and TV shows are nominated at the 2025 Golden Globes, and what’s predicted to win?
Here are the nominees from the top categories:
Best Motion Picture – Drama
· A Complete Unknown
· Conclave
· Dune: Part Two
· Nickel Boys
· September 5
· The Brutalist
What the predictions say: Almost definitely The Brutalist.
Best Director – Motion Picture
· Brady Corbet (The Brutalist)
· Coralie Fargeat (The Substance)
· Edward Berger (Conclave)
· Jacques Audiard (Emilia Pérez)
· Payal Kapadia (All We Imagine as Light)
· Sean Baker (Anora)
What the predictions say: Brady Corbet for The Brutalist. In the last 10 years, the voting body has only split up the winners of the Best Motion Picture – Drama and Best Director categories twice.
Best Television Series – Drama
· The Diplomat
· Mr. & Mrs. Smith
· Shogun
· Slow Horses
· Squid Game
· The Day of the Jackal
What the predictions say: Expect a repeat of the Emmys – Shogun is the presumed winner here.
Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy
· Abbott Elementary
· The Bear
· Hacks
· Nobody Wants This
· Only Murders in the Building
· The Gentleman
What the predictions say: It’s a toss up. Abbott Elementary, The Bear, and Hacks have played musical chairs in this category over the years. But a notable reminder that the most recent Emmy in this category went to Hacks, and the Globes could follow suit.
