The prestigious Golden Globe Awards are set to take place on Sunday, marking the start of Hollywood’s awards season. This year’s nominees span a wide array of talent, including notable names such as Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Ariana Grande.
The 83rd Golden Globe Awards ceremony will commence at 8 p.m. Eastern at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. Viewers can tune in live on CBS or stream the event on Paramount.
Nikki Glaser will return as the host for the second consecutive year. Following her well-received debut in 2025, where she became the first woman to host the show solo, expectations are high for another memorable performance. Glaser is known for her sharp humor, having previously jokingly referred to the ceremony as “Ozempic’s biggest night.”
Last year, the Golden Globes attracted an average viewership of about 10 million, maintaining a stable audience compared to the previous year. Although this figure is significantly lower than that a decade ago, the Golden Globes remain one of the most-watched awards shows, following closely behind the Oscars and Grammys.
Leading the nominations this year is the film “One Battle After Another,” which received nine nominations, including acting honors for DiCaprio and Chase Infiniti. The Globes categorize films into drama and musical or comedy; “One Battle” is classified as a comedy. DiCaprio will compete against Chalamet for “Marty Supreme” and George Clooney for “Jay Kelly.”
In the acting nominations, Infiniti faces competition from Cynthia Erivo in “Wicked: For Good,” Emma Stone in “Bugonia,” and Rose Byrne in “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.” The Danish film “Sentimental Value” follows closely with eight nominations, including a nod for Renate Reinsve. Competing against her are Jessie Buckley for “Hamnet,” Julia Roberts for “After the Hunt,” and Jennifer Lawrence for “Die My Love.”
Jordan and Dwayne Johnson have secured nominations for their performances in drama films, representing the male acting category. Among those nominated in supporting roles are Grande, Teyana Taylor, Paul Mescal, Adam Sandler, and Jacob Elordi.
Television nominations are led by “The White Lotus,” which garnered six nods this year. The Golden Globes, held annually in early January, serve as the first significant ceremony of the awards season. While not always a predictor for the Oscars, the event is celebrated for its glamorous atmosphere, bringing together many of the industry’s biggest stars.
A victory at the Golden Globes can provide crucial momentum for films and actors in the lead-up to the Academy Awards, which will take place on March 15 this year. Notably, acceptance speeches from the Golden Globes often set the tone for the performances that will be repeated in various forms during Oscar season.
This year, Helen Mirren will be honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award, recognizing her extensive contributions to film. Sarah Jessica Parker will receive the Carol Burnett Award for her achievements in television. The awards will culminate in a special gala at the Beverly Hilton, with highlights airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount.
Mirren, who previously won an Oscar for her portrayal of Elizabeth II in “The Queen,” has also secured three Golden Globes and is nominated for a fourth this year for her role in “MobLand.” The Cecil B. DeMille Award has a rich history, established in 1952 and awarded to cinematic legends such as Walt Disney and Meryl Streep.
On the other hand, Parker, recognized for her role in “Sex and the City,” will receive the Carol Burnett Award, which honors significant contributions to television. This award was initiated in 2019 and has previously celebrated talents like Ryan Murphy and Ellen DeGeneres.
