The Golden Globes are this week. Here’s what to know about the first major show of awards season

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — The Golden Globes return Sunday. Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael B. Nominees will include Jordan, Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo and Emma Stone.

The Golden Globes are this week. Here’s what to know about the first major show of awards season

The 83rd Golden Globe Awards ceremony will begin at 8 p.m. at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, and will be broadcast live on CBS and streamed live on Paramount.

Here are more important things to know about the ceremony:

Comedian and actor Nikki Glaser will return as host for a second year following the rave reviews of 2025, when she became the first woman to host the show solo.

Glaser didn’t easily go over the Hollywood crowd, but she also wasn’t as prickly as her star-making performance at the roast of Tom Brady. In his first monologue he called the ceremony “Ozempik’s greatest night”.

When she was rehired, Glaser said in a statement that it was “the most fun I’ve ever had in my career” and “I can’t wait to do it again, and this time in front of the team at ‘The White Lotus’ who will finally recognize my talents and cast me in season four as a Scandinavian Pilates instructor with a shady past.”

The show averaged about 10 million viewers last year, which is stable compared to the previous year. There are far fewer viewers now than there were a decade ago, but the Globes remain the most-watched awards show after the Oscars and Grammys.

Oscar front-runner “One Battle After Another” leads all nominees with nine, including acting nominations for DiCaprio and Chase Infinity and a directing nomination for Paul Thomas Anderson.

The Globes divides films in the top categories between drama and musical or comedy, and “Forest Battle” was classified as a comedy. Competing against DiCaprio will be Chalamet for “Marty Supreme” and George Clooney for “Jay Kelly.”

Infinity’s competition includes Erivo for “Wicked: For Good”, Stone for “Bugonia” and Rose Byrne for “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You”.

The Danish film “Sentimental Value” was in second place with eight nominations, including an acting nod for star Renate Reinsway. Her competition on the drama side includes Jessie Buckley from “Hamnet”, Julia Roberts for “After the Hunt” and Jennifer Lawrence for “Die My Love”.

Male actors nominated for dramas include Jordan for “Sinners” and Dwayne Johnson for “The Smashing Machine.”

Grande, Teyana Taylor, Paul Mescal, Adam Sandler and Jacob Elordi are among the nominees in the supporting categories.

“The White Lotus” leads all TV nominees with six.

The Globes, held annually in early January, is the first major event of awards season. They’re not exactly Oscar bellwethers – they have an entirely different voting base of journalists and critics – but they’re embraced as a champagne-soaked party with some of the biggest stars in film and television sitting together at a nightclub-like table.

And a Globes win can still help build momentum for a film or actor’s Oscar campaign, and it’s the first time that the public can hear an acceptance speech that can be repeated with some changes for months leading up to this year’s Academy Awards, held on March 15.

Helen Mirren received the Golden Globes’ Cecil B. Forrest Award for a lifetime of work on screen. The DeMille Award will be awarded, and Sarah Jessica Parker will receive the Carol Burnett Award for her career in television.

Mirren and Parker will get a separate Beverly Hilton gala this week, the recording of which will air Thursday at 8 p.m. Eastern and Pacific on CBS and also stream on Paramount in what is being called “Golden Eve.”

Mirren, 80, an Oscar winner for playing Elizabeth II in 2006’s “The Queen,” has also won three Golden Globes and is up for a fourth this year for her role in the series “Mobland.” She was named Dame of the British Empire in 2003 in acknowledgment of her artistic achievements.

The award dates back to 1952, when the award was given to the great filmmaker DeMille himself. Other recipients include Walt Disney, Bing Crosby, Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Sidney Poitier, Meryl Streep, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Hanks, and Viola Davis.

Parker will receive the brand new Carol Burnett Award, given to an honoree who has “made outstanding contributions to television on or off screen.” Parker, 60, who won six Golden Globes and two Emmys as the star of “Sex and the City,” is being honored for his work as an actor and producer.

The award was instituted in 2019, when it went to Burnett. Other winners include Norman Lear, Ryan Murphy and Ellen DeGeneres.
