BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — The 83rd Golden Globe Awards is set to take place this Sunday, marking a lively return to Hollywood's awards season. This year’s nominees include prominent figures such as Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael B. Jordan, Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and Emma Stone.
The star-studded ceremony will commence at 8 p.m. Eastern time at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. The event will be broadcast live on CBS and simultaneously streamed on Paramount+.
Who is Hosting the Golden Globes?
Comedian and actor Nikki Glaser will host the Golden Globes for the second consecutive year after a successful debut in 2025, where she made history by being the first woman to host the show solo. Known for her sharp humor, Glaser brought comic relief last year by referring to the ceremony as “Ozempic’s biggest night.” With her return, she expressed excitement, stating, “It was the most fun I have ever had in my career,” and humorously hopes to be cast in Season Four of ‘The White Lotus’ as a Scandinavian Pilates instructor.
Despite a decline in viewership over the past decade, last year’s ceremony attracted approximately 10 million viewers, maintaining its status as the most-watched awards show after the Oscars and the Grammys.
Nominees for This Year’s Golden Globes
The film “One Battle After Another” leads this year's nominations with nine nods, featuring acting nominations for DiCaprio and Chase Infiniti, along with a directing nomination for Paul Thomas Anderson. Notably, the Golden Globes categorize films into drama and musical/comedy, with “One Battle” classified as a comedy. DiCaprio will compete against Chalamet, whose film “Marty Supreme” has also earned recognition, and George Clooney for his role in “Jay Kelly.”
Additionally, Infiniti's competition includes Erivo in “Wicked: For Good,” Stone in “Bugonia,” and Rose Byrne for “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.” “Sentimental Value,” a Danish film, follows closely with eight nominations, featuring star Renate Reinsve among the nominees for Best Actress in a Drama, contending with Jessie Buckley in “Hamnet,” Julia Roberts in “After the Hunt,” and Jennifer Lawrence for “Die My Love.” In the male category for dramas, nominees include Jordan for “Sinners” and Dwayne Johnson for “The Smashing Machine.”
In supporting categories, there are nominees like Grande, Teyana Taylor, Paul Mescal, Adam Sandler, and Jacob Elordi. The acclaimed TV series “The White Lotus” has garnered the highest number of nominations in the television category, with six in total.
Understanding the Golden Globes
The Golden Globes, held annually in early January, kick off the awards season. While they don't serve as a definitive predictor for the Oscars due to their distinct voting body of journalists and critics, the Globes foster a celebratory atmosphere with major stars from film and television. Winning a Globe can add momentum to an actor or film’s campaign for the Oscars, which will occur on March 15 this year.
Lifetime Achievement Awards
This year, Helen Mirren will receive the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award for her prolific contributions to film, while Sarah Jessica Parker will be honored with the Carol Burnett Award for her significant achievements in television. Both recipients will be celebrated at a gala at the Beverly Hilton, with coverage scheduled to air on Thursday at 8 p.m. Eastern and Pacific on CBS and Paramount+.
At 80, Mirren is a former Oscar winner, famously portraying Elizabeth II in “The Queen” and has received three Golden Globes, with a nomination this year for her role in “MobLand.” Parker, honored at 60, has won six Golden Globes and two Emmys for her work on “Sex and the City.”
In summary, the Golden Globes remain a crucial event in the awards season, celebrating cinematic and television excellence, while offering a glimpse into the year’s theatrical as well as television highlights.
