This Sunday at the 82nd Golden Globes, we’ll find out if the movie musical “Wicked,” the dramedy “Anora,” or the prestigious epic “The Brutalist” has what it takes for a best picture nod.
The Golden Globes kick off the 2025 awards season, paving the way for the 97th Oscars set for March 2. So far, no films have established themselves as clear favorites, with a mix of unique contenders vying for attention. Leading with 10 nominations is the Spanish crime musical “Emilia Pérez,” competing for best comedy or musical against “Wicked,” “Anora,” dramedies “Challengers” and “A Real Pain,” as well as the horror film “The Substance.”
The post-WWII epic “The Brutalist” earned seven nominations, while the papal thriller “Conclave” received six. Both films are contenders for best drama alongside the Bob Dylan biography “A Complete Unknown,” the sci-fi sequel “Dune: Part Two,” the coming-of-age story “Nickel Boys,” and the journalism thriller “September 5.”

Get to Know Nikki Glaser, the Host of the 2025 Golden Globes
If you’re a fan of the Netflix roast of Tom Brady, you’re likely already familiar with comedian Nikki Glaser, who will be hosting this Sunday’s Golden Globes. She’s known for her sharp humor, having previously roasted Alec Baldwin and Rob Lowe, but gained significant fame for her comedic take on Brady’s divorce from Gisele Bündchen. “The Golden Globes isn’t just a big night for film and television but also a major event for comedy,” Glaser remarked.
Let’s hope she fares better than last year’s host Jo Koy, who faced criticism for his opening monologue. Glaser joins a famous roster of past hosts that includes Ricky Gervais, Jerrod Carmichael, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, and the much-loved duo of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
When Do the 2025 Golden Globes Start?
The ceremony will be broadcast live on CBS at 8 p.m. ET/5 PT, and it is also available on the CBS app and Paramount+. However, there is a catch: Only Paramount+ subscribers who have the plan that includes Showtime can watch the Globes live; those with the more affordable Paramount+ Essential plan will have to wait until Monday to see the broadcast. (It might be worth it to pay the extra five dollars a month for live access—plus, you’ll enjoy an ad-free experience and access to Showtime series like “The Agency,” “Yellowjackets,” and the new “Dexter” prequel.)
