Hollywood\u2019s awards season will kick off with the 83rd Golden Globe Awards<\/a> at 8 p.m. Eastern\/5 p.m. Pacific.<\/p>\n Comedian Nikki Glaser returns<\/a> for a second year to host the ceremony at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. It\u2019s a champagne-soaked party featuring some of the biggest names in film and television<\/a>, even if the awards won\u2019t exactly forecast the Oscars<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cOne Battle After Another\u201d topped the list of nominations with nine, closely followed by \u201cSentimental Value\u201d with eight. \u201cWicked: For Good\u201d was snubbed for best picture and best director. Others left out include Joe Rogan (for the new podcast category<\/a> ), Sydney Sweeney and Gwyneth Paltrow, leaving room for plenty of surprise inclusions<\/a>. See the full list of nominees<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Globes will be broadcast on CBS and available to stream through Paramount+.<\/p>\n The Latest:<\/p>\n Who\u2019s presenting the awards<\/p>\n The presenters announced Thursday feature a mix of Hollywood A-listers like George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Queen Latifah, along with rising stars like the leads from \u201cHeated Rivalry,\u201d<\/a> Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams.<\/p>\n Additional presenters include: Amanda Seyfried, Ana de Armas, Ayo Edebiri, Charli xcx, Chris Pine, Colman Domingo, Dakota Fanning, Dave Franco, Diane Lane, Hailee Steinfeld, Jason Bateman, Jennifer Garner, Joe Keery, Judd Apatow, Justin Hartley, Kathryn Hahn, Keegan-Michael Key, Kevin Bacon, Kevin Hart, Kyra Sedgwick, Lalisa Manobal (Lisa from Blackpink), Luke Grimes, Macaulay Culkin, Marlon Wayans, Melissa McCarthy, Mila Kunis, Miley Cyrus, Minnie Driver, Orlando Bloom, Pamela Anderson, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Regina Hall, Sean Hayes, Snoop Dogg, Wanda Sykes, Will Arnett and Zo\u00eb Kravitz.<\/p>\n In the wake of Renee Good\u2019s killing, will the Globes get political?<\/p>\n The Globes usually want a party, not politics. But that might be hard in the award show\u2019s first ceremony during President Donald Trump\u2019s second term. <\/p>\n The fatal shooting of 37-year-old mother Renee Good<\/a> in Minneapolis by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement may be on the minds of many attendees. The night\u2019s frontrunner, \u201cOne Battle After Another,\u201d notably opens with a raid on an ICE detention facility.<\/p>\n Will beasts and girlfriends challenge \u2018Adolescence\u2019?<\/p>\n While the Globes\u2019 TV drama and comedy categories have massive overlap with last year\u2019s Emmys, the limited series group is full of new blood.<\/p>\n Recent buzzy series ” All Her Fault<\/a>,” \u201cThe Beast in Me\u201d<\/a> and \u201cThe Girlfriend\u201d have all been nominated for best limited series and the honor of probably losing to \u201cAdolescence.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n Globes TV is the Emmys plus \u2018Pluribus\u2019<\/p>\n Compared to the crazy-convoluted Emmys<\/a> calendar, the Golden Globes TV eligibility window is as simple as the singular soul on \u201cPluribus.\u201d<\/p>\n If most of a show aired the previous year, it\u2019s eligible. That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n The big nominees are still nearly all reruns though. Everything in the best drama series category was up for best drama at September\u2019s Emmys<\/a>, including the winner \u201cThe Pitt.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cPluribus\u201d is the only invader in the group, and has a good chance of getting the Globes to conform to its will. \u201cHeated Rivalry\u201d<\/a> didn\u2019t make the team.<\/p>\n Potential political storylines<\/p>\n Last year, the Golden Globes largely avoided conversations surrounding President Donald Trump\u2019s politics. That may not be the case this time around.<\/p>\n Since Trump reclaimed the White House, the president\u2019s name<\/a> has been added to the exterior of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts building. Numerous artists have canceled appearances<\/a> at the center, and ticket sales and attendance have fallen, and viewership for December\u2019s broadcast of the Kennedy Center Honors<\/a> program was down by about 35% compared to the year before.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Trump also said he would slap a 100% tax<\/a> on movies made outside the United States, though no such tariffs have yet to be levied.<\/p>\n And the awards event will also be taking place in California<\/a>, one of the states central to political redistricting ahead of U.S. midterms this year.<\/p>\n Who picks the winners<\/p>\n This year\u2019s voting body is made up of nearly 400 journalists and film critics from around the world, who cover the entertainment industry for international audiences.<\/p>\n The ceremony was originally presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. After a series of scandals,<\/a> Dick Clark Productions and Eldridge Industries acquired the rights to the show in 2023. The voting body has expanded to include more racial, ethnic and gender diversity since then.<\/p>\n Any foreign entertainment journalist working for an internationally based media outlet can apply to be a voter.<\/p>\n The Globes’ new category: Podcasts<\/p>\n The Golden Globes this year introduced the best podcast category<\/a>, and the nominees represent a mix of news and celebrity conversations all the while avoiding political controversy. Up for the inaugural award:<\/p>\n 1. \u201cArmchair Expert with Dax Shepard\u201d <\/p>\n 2. \u201cCall Her Daddy\u201d <\/p>\n 3. \u201cGood Hang with Amy Poehler\u201d <\/p>\n 4. \u201cThe Mel Robbins Podcast\u201d <\/p>\n 5. \u201c SmartLess <\/a> \u201d <\/p>\n 6. \u201cUp First,\u201d from NPR <\/p>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The nominations seemingly avoided controversy by passing on popular conservative-leaning podcasts<\/a> from the shortlist, such as \u201cThe Joe Rogan Experience,\u201d which topped all major podcast platforms in 2025, and \u201cThe Megyn Kelly Show,\u201d \u201cThe Tucker Carlson Show,\u201d \u201cThe Ben Shapiro Show\u201d and Candace Owens\u2019 \u201cCandace.\u201d<\/p>\n Also axed from the nominees: the left-leaning \u201cPod Save America,\u201d and popular true-crime podcasts \u201cMorbid\u201d and \u201cRotten Mango.\u201d<\/p>\n How big a night is Warner Bros. in for?<\/p>\n\n
