The 83rd edition of the Golden Globe Awards will take place this Sunday evening at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, California, commencing at 8 p.m. Eastern time. The ceremony marks a traditional, celebratory launch to Hollywood’s season of awards, with a lineup of acclaimed actors and entertainers nominated across film and television categories.
This year’s broadcast will be accessible on CBS in a live telecast, and simultaneously streamed via Paramount+, offering a broad range of audience access to the glitzy event.
Event Hosting and Presentation
Comedian and actor Nikki Glaser is poised to return as the host for the second consecutive year. Her initial solo hosting appearance in 2025 was well-received, notable for her sharp wit and candid humor, marking a first for a female solo host in this role at the Globes. Glaser’s previous monologue included tongue-in-cheek references to current culture, describing the ceremony humorously as "Ozempic’s biggest night." Following her rerecruitment, she expressed enthusiasm and humor regarding her role, indicating anticipation to engage once more with prominent attendees, including those involved with "The White Lotus."
The 2025 broadcast attracted around 10 million viewers, maintaining figures similar to the prior year. Although this represents a decline from audiences seen a decade ago, the Golden Globes remain among the top tier of televised awards shows, trailing mainly behind the Oscars and the Grammys in viewership.
Noteworthy Nominations
Leading the nominations is the film "One Battle After Another," which received nine nods, spanning key categories such as acting and directing. Leonardo DiCaprio and Chase Infiniti are among the acting nominees connected to this production, with Paul Thomas Anderson acknowledged for directing.
The Golden Globe Awards categorizes films in drama versus musical or comedy genres for major awards, designating "One Battle After Another" as a comedy. DiCaprio’s fellow nominees in the drama actor category include Timothée Chalamet for "Marty Supreme" and George Clooney for "Jay Kelly." For acting in comedy or musical, Chase Infiniti is contending with Cynthia Erivo (“Wicked: For Good”), Emma Stone (“Bugonia”), and Rose Byrne (“If I Had Legs I’d Kick You”).
Denmark’s "Sentimental Value" is the second most nominated film, garnering eight nominations, with Renate Reinsve starring and receiving an acting nod. Female nominees in dramatic categories also include Jessie Buckley for "Hamnet," Julia Roberts for "After the Hunt," and Jennifer Lawrence for "Die My Love." Male dramatic acting nominees feature Michael B. Jordan for "Sinners" and Dwayne Johnson for "The Smashing Machine." Supporting category contenders feature artists like Ariana Grande, Teyana Taylor, Paul Mescal, Adam Sandler, and Jacob Elordi. The television series "The White Lotus" leads its field with six nominations.
Understanding the Golden Globes
Taken annually in early January, the Golden Globes are the first prominent awards ceremony starting the Hollywood awards season. While differing in voting bodies from the Academy Awards, the Globes are celebrated as a glamorous, champagne-fueled gala featuring numerous stars from movies and TV intermixed at banquet-style seating arrangements.
Winning a Golden Globe can bolster momentum and visibility for films and actors ahead of the Oscars, giving a glimpse early in awards season of potential frontrunners and popular choices among the entertainment press and industry insiders. Acceptance speeches at this ceremony often set the tone for the season, repeated or adapted in later award events leading up to the March 15 Oscars this year.
Lifetime Achievement Honors
This year, the Golden Globes will bestow their prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement on Helen Mirren. The 80-year-old actress, an Oscar winner recognized for her role as Queen Elizabeth II in "The Queen," also has multiple Golden Globe wins and a current nomination for her role in the series "MobLand." Mirren was appointed a Dame of the British Empire in 2003 for her artistic contributions.
Sarah Jessica Parker will receive the Carol Burnett Award, honoring significant contributions to television, both on-screen and behind the scenes. Parker earned six Golden Globes and two Emmys for her role in "Sex and the City" and has furthered her career as an actor and producer. This award, established in 2019 with Carol Burnett as its inaugural recipient, recognizes exceptional television influence.
Both honorees will be celebrated at a dedicated gala event at the Beverly Hilton ahead of the main ceremony. This gala will be broadcast on CBS and streamed on Paramount+ on the evening preceding the Golden Globes in a special titled "Golden Eve."
