The Golden Globes are the kick off to awards season. The ceremony has been the site of career-defining moments for some of Hollywood’s biggest stars since its inaugural year in 1944.

The 82nd annual Golden Globe Awards will be no different. Hosted by actress-comedian Nikki Glaser, who is making history as the first woman to solo emcee the awards show, Hollywood’s biggest names will celebrate an incredible year in film and television at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Jan. 5.

Andrew Garfield, Catherine O’Hara, Demi Moore, Michael Keaton and Nicolas Cage are among the stars presenting during the telecast.

Emilia Pérez, Netflix’s musical-thriller starring Karla Sofía Gascón, Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldaña, dominates this year’s film categories with 10 nominations, making it the most nominated movie in the musical or comedy categories in Globes history. Gascón, a first-time Golden Globe nominee, is also the first transgender woman nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy. Rounding out the top nominated films are The Brutalist, with seven nominations and Conclave, which has six nominations.

Leading the television nominees is FX’s The Bear, with five nominations, including Best Actor for Jeremy Allen White and Best Actress for Ayo Edebiri. Close behind are Only Murders in the Building and Shōgun, with four nominations apiece.

The stars of Shōgun, Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai, are among the 26 first-time Golden Globe nominees. Also included in this year’s crop of inaugural nominees are Adam Brody, Ariana Grande, Glen Powell and Pamela Anderson.

With the 2025 awards show fast approaching, here’s what to know about “Hollywood’s Party of the Year.”

When are the Golden Globes?

• The 2025 Golden Globes air live from the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on Jan. 5 at p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

• The show will broadcast live on CBS and stream on Paramount+ with Showtime.

• Paramount+ Essential subscribers will be able to stream the special on Jan. 6.

Who is hosting?

• Comedian and actress Nikki Glaser is hosting the Golden Globes for the first time.

• Glaser is also nominated for Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television for her HBO special, Nikki Glaser: Someday You’ll Die.

• “Hosting the Golden Globes is scary!” Glaser said of the gig. “It’s a well-lit room, which is not conducive to comedy; there are a lot of people I admire, which also is not conducive to comedy. It’s live, so you can’t do retakes. The level of difficulty is through the roof. And that’s thrilling to me.”
