BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — The Golden Globes are set to take place in January, showcasing a remarkable roster of nominees including Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet, Angelina Jolie, Daniel Craig, Denzel Washington, and Ariana Grande. The nominations for the 82nd awards ceremony were made public on Monday, with the event scheduled for January 5 and broadcasted by CBS while also available for streaming on Paramount+.
**Who’s Hosting the Golden Globes?**
Next year’s Golden Globes will be hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, recognized for her sharp and humorous style, particularly during celebrity roasts. Glaser recently received an Emmy nomination for her HBO special titled “Someday You’ll Die,” which touches on topics ranging from personal relationships to her experiences in the adult film industry. Influenced by past hosts like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Ricky Gervais, she aims to bring a fresh perspective following Jo Koy’s criticized performance last year, which suffered from a disjointed opening monologue and rapid pacing.
**Nominations Overview**
Leading the pack this year is Jacques Audiard’s unique musical “Emilia Pérez,” which received ten nominations. Other recognized productions include the highly popular musical “Wicked,” the thriller “Conclave,” and the postwar drama “The Brutalist.” The documentary “The Apprentice,” which details a young Donald Trump’s life, also garnered nominations for its lead performances by Sebastian Stan as Trump and Jeremy Strong as Roy Cohn. In television, the series “The Bear” topped the nominations with five nods.
Denzel Washington, with his 11th nomination, stands out as the most-nominated Black performer in Globes history. Steve Martin continues to shine in comedy with a nomination for best actor in a musical or comedy series for his role in “Only Murders in the Building,” marking his ninth nomination overall and his chance for a first win.
This year’s nominations also include 26 first-time contenders, among them Grande, Dakota Fanning, Glaser, Seth Meyers, Zoe Saldaña, and Pamela Anderson, the latter of whom received a nod for her performance in “The Last Showgirl.” The Globes are still navigating their recovery after recent controversies and changes in their organization structure due to previous scandals.
**About the Golden Globes**
The Golden Globes marks the initiation of the awards season, serving as a significant event, albeit not necessarily a direct predictor of the Oscars. Famous for their festive atmosphere and glitzy gathering of film and television talent, the Globes are the first televised awards show of the year, often providing a springboard for films and actors aiming for Oscar nominations later on.
**Double Nominees**
This year features notable double nominees including Sebastian Stan, Kate Winslet, and Selena Gomez. Gomez has dual nominations for her roles in “Emilia Pérez” and “Only Murders in the Building.” Winslet picked up nominations for her performances in “Lee” and “The Regime.” Likewise, Stan is nominated for two roles in “The Apprentice” and “A Different Man.”
**Special Honors**
Viola Davis will receive the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award, celebrating her illustrious career that includes powerful performances in films such as “Fences” and “The Woman King.” Davis joins an elite group of 69 previous recipients, recognized for their significant contributions to film.
Furthermore, Ted Danson, the beloved star of “Cheers,” will be honored with the Carol Burnett Award for his influential contributions to television. A three-time Globe winner, Danson has enjoyed a storied career, and his latest nomination for Netflix’s “A Man on the Inside” marks his return to recognition in the industry.
In a unique twist, the Golden Globes will host a separate celebratory dinner on January 3 to honor Davis and Danson, a first for the ceremony.
**Culinary Highlights at the Globes**
Celebrated chef Nobu Matsuhisa will once again provide the catering for the Golden Globes, showcasing his renowned cuisine with dishes that include the extravagant Gold Standard Roll, featuring king crab, salmon, gold flakes, and caviar. Other favorites such as seaweed tacos, yellowtail with jalapeño, and a variety of sushi will also be on the menu, further elevating the prestigious event’s culinary experience.
