Having been a significant event since 1944, the Golden Globes set the stage and the tone for the months-long awards season, with the 82nd Annual Golden Globes slated to air on Sunday, January 5.
The Golden Globes are a platform where the best in the industry receive recognition for their exceptional work in film and television. Categories range from best motion picture (for drama or musical/comedy), best original song, best television series (for drama or musical/comedy), and the recently added cinematic box office achievement.
Among the nominees for this year’s awards, announced by Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut, are a collection of established and emerging stars. Icons such as Denzel Washington, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, Donald Glover, and Kathy Bates have all secured nominations. On the film side, “Emilia Pérez” is leading with ten nominations, while “The Bear” is the frontrunner for television, with five nods. Full lists of nominations can be found online.
The ceremony will not only be a platform for recognitions but will also feature a star-studded list of presenters including Oprah Winfrey, Andrew Garfield, Jennifer Coolidge, Kerry Washington, Elton John, and many more. The Golden Globes, which will take place at the Beverly Hilton in California, will also honor Viola Davis and Ted Danson with special awards.

Hosting Details
The 82nd Annual Golden Globes will be hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, the first woman to host the ceremony solo. In a press release, Glaser said, “Hosting the Golden Globes is scary! 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.”
