Golden Globes 2025: Nominees, what time, how to watch

RELATED COVERAGE: Golden Globes street closures in place

Barricades are up in Beverly Hills ahead of the Golden Globe Awards Sunday.

The Hollywood award season kicks off Sunday evening at the 82nd annual Golden Globes -- with Netflix's gender-bending musical "Emilia Pérez" leading the way with a record-setting 10 motion picture nominations and FX's "The Bear" carrying five nods to top television categories.

Netflix has the most nominations in TV categories with 23, as well as in movie categories with 13.

Comedian Nikki Glaser is set to host the ceremony, known as "Hollywood's Party of the Year." It begins at 5 p.m. from the Beverly Hilton hotel and will air live on CBS and stream on Paramount+

Glaser is known for her edgy and often scathing material on televised celebrity roasts -- notably of former NFL quarterback Tom Brady last May -- but said in interviews leading up to Sunday's Globes that she knows "where the line is, and I don't want to cross it."

"I just wanna do a good job and have everyone have fun, but, you know, push the boundaries a little bit because that's what comedy is," Glaser, the ceremonies' first solo female host, told reporters. "But I don't wanna ruin anyone's evening -- at home or in the audience."

She can only be an improvement over last year, when comedian Jo Koy was tapped for the gig just 10 days before the ceremonies and turned in a widely maligned performance.

Meanwhile, Glaser could also take home some hardware herself, as she's one of the six nominees for best performance in a stand-up comedy series on television, for "Nikki Glaser: Someday You'll Die."

Across 27 nomination categories, Sunday's festivities will also feature the Globes' usual galaxy of A-List presenters -- including Elton John, Glenn Close, Sharon Stone, Andrew Garfield, Anthony Mackie, Anya Taylor-Joy, Ariana DeBose, Catherine O'Hara, Colin Farrell, Colman Domingo, Demi Moore, Dwayne Johnson, Kathy Bates, Ke Huy Quan, Kerry Washington, Margaret Qualley, Melissa McCarthy, Michael Keaton, Michelle Yeoh, Nicolas Cage, Rachel Brosnahan, Rob McElhenney, Vin Diesel, Viola Davis and Zoe Kravitz.

"Emilia Pérez" -- which brings nominations for best movie musical or comedy, along with a best actress nod for Karla Sofía Gascón and best director and screenplay noms for Jacques Audiard -- is the most-nominated movie musical or comedy in Globes history, surpassing "Barbie" in 2023 and "Cabaret" in 1972.

The Spanish-language French musical crime drama tells the story of a drug cartel leader (Gascón) who hires a lawyer (Zoe Saldaña) to help Gascón's character transition to being a woman.

Behind "Emilia Pérez" in the movie categories, "The Brutalist" brings seven nominations, followed by "Conclave" with six and "Anora" and "The Substance" with five each.

Trailing "The Bear" on the TV side, FX/Hulu's comedy "Only Murders in the Building" and FX's drama "Shogun" carry four nods apiece into the evening, followed with three each by 11 shows -- including HBO's awards-season staple "Hacks" as well as "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story."

In major categories, "The Brutalist" is among the six nominees for best movie drama, along with "A Complete Unknown," "Conclave," "Dune: Part Two," "Nickel Boys" and "September 5."

Besides "Emilia Pérez" in the movie musical or comedy category are "Anora," "Challengers," "A Real Pain," "The Substance" and "Wicked."

Best actor nods in a movie drama will feature a competition between Adrien Brody in "The Brutalist," Timothee Chalamet in "A Complete Unknown," Daniel Craig in "Queer," Colman Domingo in "Sing Sing," Ralph Fiennes in "Conclave" and Sebastian Stan in "The Apprentice."

For best actress in movie drama, Pamela Anderson takes a nomination for "The Last Showgirl" into the evening, along with Angelina Jolie for "Maria," Nicole Kidman for "Babygirl," Tilda Swinton for "The Room Next Door," Fernanda Torres for "I'm Still Here" and Kate Winslet for "Lee."

In the movie musical or comedy categories, best actor competitors are Jesse Eisenberg in "A Real Pain," Hugh Grant in "Heretic," Gabriel Labelle in "Saturday Night," Jesse Plemons in "Kinds of Kindness," Glen Powell in "Hit Man" and Sebastian Stan in "A Different Man."

Best actress nominations for musical or comedy movie include Gascón in "Emilia Pérez," Amy Adams in "Nightbitch," Cynthia Erivo in "Wicked," Mikey Madison in "Anora," Demi Moore in "The Substance" and Zendaya in "Challengers."

On the TV side, "Shogun" is among the nominees for best drama series, along with Peacock's "The Day of the Jackal," Netflix's "The Diplomat" and "Squid Game," Prime Video's "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and Apple TV+'s "Slow Horses."

Nominees for best TV musical or comedy series are award-season staples including FX/Hulu's "The Bear," ABC's "Abbott Elementary," HBO Max's "Hacks" and Hulu's "Only Murders in the Building" -- along with "The Gentleman" and "Nobody Wants This," both on Netflix.

For best actor in a TV drama, Donald Glover is nominated for "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," along with Jake Gyllenhaal for "Presumed Innocent," Gary Oldman for "Slow Horses," Eddie Redmayne for "The Day of the Jackal," Hiroyuki Sanada for "Shogun" and Billy Bob Thornton for "Landman."

For best actress in a TV drama, Kathy Bates is nominated for "Matlock," along with Emma D'Arcy for "House of the Dragon," Maya Erskine for "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," Keira Knightley for "Black Doves," Keri Russell for "The Diplomat" and Anna Sawai for "Shogun."

For best actor in a TV musical or comedy, award magnet Jeremy Allen White brings another nomination for his role in "The Bear," and is joined by Adam Brody in "Nobody Wants This," Ted Danson in "A Man on the Inside," Steve Martin and Martin Short in "Only Murders in the Building" and Jason Segal in "Shrinking."

Nominees for best actress in a TV musical or comedy series nominees are Kristen Bell for her role in "Nobody Wants This" and Kathryn Hahn in "Agatha All Along" -- along with awards-season regulars Quinta Brunson for "Abbott Elementary," Ayo Edebiri for "The Bear," Jean Smart in "Hacks" and Selena Gomez for "Only Murders in the Building."

Gomez, in fact, has two shots to bring home a trophy -- she's also nominated for best supporting actress in any movie for her role in "Emilia Pérez."

Sebastian Stan also has chances in two categories -- best actor in a movie drama for playing Donald Trump in "The Apprentice," and best actor in a movie musical or comedy for his role in "A Different Man."

Voting on the nominees was conducted among 334 journalists representing 85 countries.

Meanwhile, two honorary awards were handed out Friday night during the Globes' inaugural "Golden Gala" at the Beverly Hilton.

Ted Danson, best known for his role as bartender Sam Malone on the classic sitcom "Cheers," got the Carol Burnett Award, honoring a person "who has made outstanding contributions to television on or off screen." Danson was presented the award by his wife of 30-plus years, actress Mary Steenburgen.

And four-time Oscar nominee Viola Davis was honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award, presented by past DeMille Award winner Meryl Streep.

Annually, the Globes are also seen as a barometer of the upcoming Oscars.

Since 1963, when the Globes divided the film category into two formats -- drama and musical/comedy -- roughly 62% of the films that ended up with best picture Academy Awards had first received a Golden Globe.

The Golden Globe drama winner has gone on to win a best picture Oscar 30 of 61 times. The musical/comedy winner has won eight times at the Oscars, most recently in 2019, when "Green Book" won the Academy Award for best picture.
