How to watch the 2025 Golden Globe Awards ceremony online and on TV: date, time…

Hollywood’s awards season kicks off in style with the 2025 Golden Globe Awards, where films like Wicked, The Brutalist, and Emilia Perez take center stage. It’s all set for Sunday, January 5, and the ceremony promises a night of glamour, surprises, and, if us journos are lucky, some memorable moments to write about. Whether you prefer watching on a big screen or streaming from your couch, there are options aplenty to join the festivities.

2025 Golden Globes: presenters for the stars

The Globes have carved out a unique niche, swapping the Oscars’ more formal stiffness for a party-like atmosphere. It’s the only place where movie stars sip champagne at their tables while the host cracks sharp jokes about them. This year, comedian Nikki Glaser takes the mic for her first run as host. Known for her no-holds-barred humor (who can forget her roast of Tom Brady?), Glaser is dialing things back slightly. “This is not a roast,” she clarified, calling the Globes “a night to celebrate.”

And celebrate they will. This year’s nominees bring a mix of high-stakes drama and offbeat fun. The Brutalist and Conclave are strong contenders for best drama, while Timothée Chalamet pulls double duty with Dune - Part II and the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown. On the musical and comedy side, the slate is just as diverse, with Wicked, the darkly funny Anora, and the genre-blending Emilia Perez competing for top honors.

If the awards themselves aren’t enough, the celebrity lineup surely will be. Presenters include big names like Dwayne Johnson, Elton John, and Andrew Garfield, setting the stage for an evening packed with Hollywood buzz. Whether you tune in for the trophies, the red carpet, or just to hear Glaser’s quips, the Golden Globes are always worth a watch.

Here’s a complete list of the nominations.
