Everything we know about the 2025 Golden Globes (original) (raw)
The 2025 Golden Globes is on its way, with next year’s ceremony starting to take shape.
This annual celebration of the year’s finest film and TV offerings isn’t just an opportunity to see the stars hit the red carpet and perhaps deliver some controversial viral moments. Now in its 82nd year, the Golden Globes are often used as an indicator as to which films might win big at the Academy Awards which usually takes place shortly afterwards.
With awards season starting to ramp up, the back end of the year is typically reserved for the heavy-hitting film releases that will no doubt become the new big contenders. Throw a bunch of ace already-released TV into the mix and the scene has been set for the 2025 Golden Globes.
Here’s everything we know about it so far…

The Golden Globes will take place on Sunday, 5 January 2025, between 8pm-11pm Eastern/Pacific time. The ceremony will air on CBS and Paramount+ for US viewers.
There’s a small catch though: while the show will be available on-demand for Paramount+ users who also have the Showtime add-on, it won’t be available to those with Essential packages until the day after it airs.
Can I watch the ceremony in the UK?
Details of how viewers in the UK can watch the show have not yet been revealed — but typically, there is no way to watch the show live in the UK.
Who will host the 2025 Golden Globes?

US stand-up comedian Nikki Glaser has been confirmed to host the 2025 Golden Globes.
Glaser has appeared in Amy Schumer’s 2015 movie Trainwreck and on multiple celebrity roasts, firing jokes at the likes of Rob Lowe, Alex Baldwin and Tom Brady. She takes over from fellow stand-up comic Jo Key who hosted the 2024 Golden Globes ceremony.
Speaking about her new hosting job, Glaser said: “I am absolutely thrilled to be hosting the Golden Globes. It’s one of my favorite nights of television and now I get a front row seat (actually, I think I have to host from the stage).
“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).”
Previous stars to have hosted the Golden Globes include Saturday Night Live stars Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, comedian Jerrod Carmichael and The Office star Ricky Gervais.

A full list of nominees for the 2025 Golden Globes has not yet been revealed. We’ll have to wait until 5pm Pacific Time on Monday, 9 December 2024 to find out which film and TV projects have been selected as among this year’s finest offerings.
It’s already been a jam-packed year for film and TV, with movies like Dune 2 already lighting up cinemas and shows like Baby Reindeer keeping viewers glued to their sofas.
That said, there are still a load of big releases like Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II, James Mangold’s Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown and Joker: Folie à Deux yet to debut.
Throw a handful of unexpected left-field entries into the mix and it’s still a little too early to tell which films and TV projects will come away happy from the 2025 Golden Globes ceremony.
