Back in January, the 2024 Golden Globes kicked off a thrilling and turbulent awards season with a bang: Jo Koy ruffled feathers; Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet looked like they’d been plucked straight out of a ’90s rom-com; Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez kept lip readers in business the world over; and almost everyone who’d go on to scoop an Oscar in a major category—from Christopher Nolan and Cillian Murphy to Emma Stone, Robert Downey Jr, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Justine Triet, Billie Eilish, Hayao Miyazaki, and the producers of best picture winner Oppenheimer—took home a Globe first. There was also the allure of all the glamorous TV contenders—the casts of Succession, The Bear, Beef, and The Crown were in attendance—as well as the raucous and relaxed atmosphere that sets this star-studded celebration apart from its more serious counterparts.
So, what surprising victories, hilarious speeches, and jaw-dropping viral moments will the 2025 ceremony bring? Here’s everything we know so far.
When will the 2025 Golden Globes take place?
The 2025 Golden Globes are taking place sooner than you might think: on Sunday, January 5, 2025, from 8 p.m. EST.
Where will the 2025 Golden Globes be held?
The 82nd annual Golden Globes, like previous ceremonies, is expected to be held at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles.
Who will host the 2025 Golden Globes?
After a disastrous stint from comedian Jo Koy–one which left many viewers asking if the show ought to be hostless going forward—the Golden Globes have appointed a new master of ceremonies for 2025: the Emmy-nominated stand-up Nikki Glaser. “I am absolutely thrilled to be hosting the Golden Globes,” she said in a statement. “It’s one of my favorite nights of television and now I get a front row seat. The Golden Globes is not only a huge night for TV and film, but also for comedy. It’s one of the few times that show business not only allows, but encourages itself to be lovingly mocked (at least I hope so). (God I hope so.) It’s an exciting, yet challenging gig because it’s live, unpredictable, and in front of Hollywood’s biggest stars (who also might be getting wasted while seated next to their recent exes). Some of my favorite jokes of all time have come from past Golden Globes opening monologues when Tina, Amy or Ricky have said exactly what we all didn’t know we desperately needed to hear. I just hope to continue in that time honored tradition (that might also get me cancelled). This is truly a dream job.”
When will the 2025 Golden Globe nominations be announced?
The nominations for the 2025 Golden Globes will be unveiled on December 9, 2024.
Who will win a Golden Globe in 2025?
Among the current frontrunners in the best picture—drama category is the Colman Domingo-led prison saga Sing Sing; the Ralph Fiennes-centered papal thriller Conclave; the divisive three-and-a-half-hour-long immigration epic The Brutalist; the experimental literary adaptation Nickel Boys; Steve McQueen’s forthcoming Blitz; the sci-fi behemoth Dune: Part Two; and a rousing new take on August Wilson’s The Piano Lesson. Meanwhile, for best picture—comedy or musical, expect to see Palme d’Or winner Anora battling it out with the likes of the bonkers gangster musical Emilia Pérez, the sweeping Wicked, the side-splitting Saturday Night, and Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin’s touching buddy comedy A Real Pain.

Well, in addition to the aforementioned Domingo, Fiennes, Eisenberg, and Culkin, Adrien Brody (The Brutalist), Timothée Chalamet (A Complete Unknown), Daniel Craig (Queer), Jeremy Strong (The Apprentice), and Glen Powell (Hit Man) are all in the mix for the male acting prizes, as are Mikey Madison (Anora), Nicole Kidman (Babygirl), Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Hard Truths), Demi Moore (The Substance), Angelina Jolie (Maria), Saoirse Ronan (The Outrun and Blitz), Florence Pugh (We Live in Time), and Karla Sofía Gascón (Emilia Pérez) in the best actress categories.
