The Golden Globes are tonight. Here’s what to watch and how to watch and stream the show

Political tension and industrywide uncertainty are the dominant mood at Sunday night’s 83rd Golden Globes. Hollywood has had a disappointing box-office year and now anxiously awaits the fate of one of its most famous studios, Warner Bros.

The celebratory mood may be even more elusive, as most of the artists and filmmakers gathering at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, oppose President Donald Trump’s policies. Likely on the minds of many attendees: recent U.S. involvement in Venezuela and the fatal shooting of 37-year-old mother Renee Good in Minneapolis by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

But throughout its ups and downs, the Globes have always tried to put the spotlight on politics. Host Nikki Glaser made the same pledge.

“You’d be surprised how half the room had no clue why I was saying ‘Venezuela,'” Glaser told The Associated Press earlier in the week, referring to his comedy-club warm-up. “People aren’t getting the news the way we all do.”

Glaser, a comedian best known for her roast appearances, has promised to go after A-listers in her second time hosting.

“We’re going to hit LEO,” Glaser said. “Icebergs are coming.”

What to see at this year’s Globes:

The Golden Globes will begin at 8 p.m. EST on CBS while streaming live for Paramount Premium subscribers. E! Red carpet coverage begins at 6 p.m. EST.

The Associated Press will air a livestream show beginning at 4:30 p.m. Eastern with a mix of star appearances, fashion shots and celebrity interviews. It will be available on youtube and news.

Oscar favorite “One Battle After Another” leads with a leading nine nominations. It’s competing in the musical or comedy category of the Globes, which means the drama side may be more competitive. There, Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners,” Chloé Zhao’s “Hamnet” and Joachim Trier’s “Sentimental Value” are all in the mix.

But so far, “one-on-one fighting” has swept almost everywhere. Most of Paul Thomas Anderson’s cast is nominated, including DiCaprio, Teyana Taylor, Sean Penn, Chase Infinity, and Benicio del Toro.

If it and “Sinners” take home the two biggest awards, it will be a banner night for Warner Bros., even if its future hangs in the balance. The studio has agreed to be acquired by Netflix for $82.7 billion. Movie theaters warned that such an outcome “would have a direct and irreversible negative impact on movie theaters around the world.”

The merger awaits regulatory approval, while Paramount Skydance is still trying to convince Warner shareholders to accept its rival’s offer.

After a bold promotional tour for “Marty Supreme,” Timothée Chalamet is set to win his first Globe with five nominations. In best actor, comedy or musical, he would have to beat three-time Globe winners DiCaprio and Ethan Hawke.

Best Actress, Comedy or Musical, Rose Byrne is a favorite for her performance in the especially funny A24 indie “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.” A major nominee in the category, Cynthia Erivo, will not attend due to her schedule in the West End production of “Dracula.”

Jessie Buckley, Best Actress, is the clear front runner in the drama. In the star-studded Best Actor, Drama category, Brazilian actor Wagner Moura won the Michael B. Jordan and Joel Edgerton may be ahead of him.

In the supporting categories, Teyana Taylor and Stellan Skarsgard come in as favorites.

The Globes, previously presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, have no overlap or direct connection with the Academy Awards. After being sold to Todd Boehly’s Eldridge Industries and Dick Clark Productions, a part of Penske Media, in 2023, the Globes are voted on by about 400 people. More than 10,500 professionals voted for the Oscars.

But in the hustle and bustle of awards season, a good speech at the Globes can really boost an Oscar campaign. Last year, that seemed to be the case for Demi Moore, who won for “The Substance” and contributed Most emotional speech of the nightHowever, Mickey Madison scored an upset win at the Oscars,

Some potentially cool moments this year went down to the Golden Eve celebrations earlier this week. There, Cecil B. DeMille and Carol Burnett honorees Helen Mirren and Sarah Jessica Parker accepted their awards.

If he wins, one of those to watch will be Iranian director Jafar Panahi. His revenge drama “It Was Just an Accident” is up for four awards. Panahi has spent much of his career making films in secret, without approval from authorities, and was recently banned from leaving his country. Last month, he was sentenced to a year in prison, which, if Panahi returns home to serve it, will be his latest sentence behind bars. This week, protests over Iran’s poor economy have spread across the country, posing a new test for Iran’s leaders.

For the first time, the Globes are introducing a new podcast category. The nominees are: “Armchair Expert,” “Call Her Daddy,” “Good Hang with Amy Poehler,” “The Mel Robbins Podcast,” “Smartless” and “Up First.”

In TV, HBO Max’s “The White Lotus” — another potential big winner for Warner Bros. — leads with six nominations. Netflix’s “Adolescence” comes away with five awards.

But the most closely watched nominee may be “The Studio.” The first season of Seth Rogen’s Hollywood satire memorably included an episode devoted to the drama of a night at the Globes. The “Studio” is up for three awards, giving three chances to emulate art in life.
