The 82nd Golden Globes kick off this Sunday at 8 p.m. EST, promising a mix of glamour, comedy, and Hollywood legends. After a few rough years, the ceremony is back on stable ground, and fans are curious if the Globes can recapture their former spark.
This year’s host, comedian Nikki Glaser, takes the stage at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills. The event will air live on CBS and stream for Paramount+ subscribers, blending a fresh tone with star power. Glaser’s sharp humor could deliver the kind of entertainment missing in recent editions.
Leading nominations include Jacques Audiard’s Netflix musical Emilia Perez with 10 nods, followed by The Brutalist and Conclave. Big-name nominees such as Zendaya, Timothee Chalamet, and Daniel Craig add excitement to the mix, keeping Hollywood buzz alive.
Chalamet’s performance in A Complete Unknown has critics speculating if he’ll snag his first Globe, building momentum for a potential Oscar push. Meanwhile, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are set to compete for honors tied to their involvement in Wicked.
Drama could spill over from off-screen tensions. Rumors swirl around Hollywood’s recent feud between Blake Lively and It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni. Glaser’s host monologue may or may not address the elephant in the room, but attendees will definitely be thinking about it.
With no clear Oscar frontrunner, Golden Globes results could set the tone for awards season. Whether it’s Emilia Perez, Wicked, or one of the other contenders, this Sunday might offer the first clues to Hollywood’s biggest night ahead. Grab your popcorn — it’s going to be an interesting ride.
