The Golden Globes Foundation’s annual ceremony returns to the Beverly Hilton Hotel this Sunday, January 5, marking another step in the awards show’s comeback with a notable French presence among the nominees and Nikki Glaser taking over hosting duties.
The ceremony, airing on CBS and Paramount+ at 5 pm Pacific time, comes after last year’s broadcast attracted 9.4 million viewers despite mixed reviews for then-host Jo Koy. Glaser, herself nominated in the television stand-up category, will helm this year’s proceedings. “There’s nothing in the set that I feel is so offensive that it would tarnish any kind of opportunities or relationships with people,” Glaser told The New York Times ahead of the high-profile hosting gig. “I just feel confident.”
Jacques Audiard's Emilia Perez leads the pack with ten nominations, including recognition for its trio of stars: Karla Sofia Gascon, Zoe Saldana, and Selena Gomez (who also earned a nod for Only Murders in the Building). The Spanish-language film will compete in the comedy/musical category against an eclectic mix including Cannes winner Anora and Luca Guadagnino's Challengersstarring Zendaya.
The drama category sees The Brutalist (seven nominations) and Conclave (six nominations) facing off against anticipated releases like Dune: Part Two and the Bob Dylan-inspired A Perfect Stranger.
This year’s directing category reflects growing international influence, with two French filmmakers in contention: Audiard for Emilia Perez and Coralie Fargeat for her English-language debut The Substance. They compete alongside Sean Baker (Anora), Edward Berger (Conclave), Brady Corbet (The Brutalist), and Payal Kapadia (All We Imagine as Light).
In television, FX’s The Bear continues its awards streak with five nominations in the comedy categories, while Shogunthe new adaptation of James Clavell’s novel, emerges as a drama frontrunner with four nominations, including recognition for stars Hiroyuki Sanada and Emmy-winner Anna Sawai.
The ceremony, which will air at 2 am Monday in Paris on Canal+, represents another crucial test for the rebranded Golden Globes Foundation, formerly known as the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, as it continues to rebuild its reputation following recent controversies.
