Hollywood is preparing for its first awards ceremony of 2025 with a star-studded list of nominees for the Golden Globe Awards.
The annual event recognises excellence in both international film and television. This year’s Awards will take place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, in Beverly Hills, California on Monday (6 January).
Nominees were announced on 9 December with the divisive Emilia Peréz leading the pack on 10 nominations, while Hulu’s The Bear once again dominated the TV categories.
Films in contention for trophies at the forthcoming ceremony include hit musical Wicked, Sean Baker’s Palme d’Or-winning Anora and Brady Corbet’s epic drama The Brutalist, which was hailed a “masterpiece” after its festival premiere. The latter received seven nominations.
Edward Berger’s Conclave, starring Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci, has also received several nominations, as has Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, which stars nominees Timothée Chalamet and Edward Norton.
Stand-up comedian Nikki Glaser makes history as the first woman to solo host the Golden Globes. Her appointment comes after Jo Koy became the last-minute 2024 host, delivering a widely panned performance. This year’s presenters also include We Live in Time star Andrew Garfield, Parks and Recreation actor Aubrey Plaza, and The Substance’s Demi Moore.
The Awards will be broadcast on CBS, and US audiences can stream the show on Paramount+. There is no official channel to watch the ceremony in the UK.

Jenna Bush Hager and Hoda Kotb have hit back at the 2025 Golden Globe nominations, claiming Wicked director Jon M. Chu was snubbed.
During an episode of Today with Hoda & Jenna on Monday (December 9), the two TV hosts discussed the Golden Globes nominations, which were announced earlier that morning. Kotb prefaced that both she and her colleague were “angry” about the topic, before noting that it was on their “jangily list.”

Can Nikki Glaser give Hollywood the roasting it deserves?
16:00 , Jacob Stolworthy
“Historically, the Golden Globes tended to either go without a host or simply pair a couple of good-looking actors. That changed in 2010 when The Office co-creator Ricky Gervais took over the gig and decided to use the opportunity to goad and mock Hollywood stars,” writes Kevin EG Perry.
“Glaser is set to continue in that no-holds-barred lineage. Last month, she revealed she’d approached Gervais for advice about how to nail the gig, telling CBS: “His advice was just: ‘Be yourself. You’re not one of them. Don’t try to walk out acting like you’re an A-lister, just because you’re invited.’”

In a new interview with Parade magazine, Handler defended mocking her ex-boyfriend Jo Koy’s disastrous hosting job at the 81st Golden Globes last year.
During the Critics Choice Awards that year, Handler referred to Koy’s controversial decision to blame his writers for a failed joke during his monologue. Handler quipped after delivering her own, well-received joke, “I have to give credit to my writers — because unlike some people, I know how valuable they are.”
She told Parade: “Listen, I would’ve done that had anybody thrown their writers under a bus. I know more than anybody how valuable writers are. My whole life and my whole career is because I have great writers.”

This year’s ceremony comes three years after its 2022 ceremony was boycotted following a 2021 exposé by the Los Angeles Times, accusing its voting body, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), of a lack of diversity.
The organization has since reformed, expelling problematic voters and expanding its membership from around 85 to 300, including 10 percent Black representation.
