The 2025 Golden Globes ceremony takes place tonight. British stars including Daniel Craig, Ralph Fiennes, Cynthia Erivo and Kate Winslet will compete for top prizes alongside Timothée Chalamet, Nicole Kidman, Angelina Jolie and Colman Domingo.
The nominees were announced on December 9: the divisive musical crime comedy Emilia Peréz leads the pack at 10 nominations, while Hulu’s The Bear dominates the TV categories.
Other films in contention for trophies include hit musical Wicked, Sean Baker’s Palme d’Or-winning Anora and Brady Corbet’s epic drama The Brutalist, which was hailed a “masterpiece” after its festival premiere.
Stand-up comedian Nikki Glaser makes history as the first woman to host the Golden Globes solo. Her appointment comes after Jo Koy became the last-minute 2024 host, delivering a widely panned performance.
The awards ceremony will be broadcast on CBS, and US audiences can stream the show on Paramount+. There is no official channel to watch the ceremony in the UK.

No, you’re not seeing double. After offering the winner of his lookalike contest the chance to give their parents a cameo in one of his forthcoming films, Powell met the lucky doppelganger at the Golden Globes.
The contest was won by Maxwell Braunstein, a physician’s assistant in Austin. He took home “a whopping $5, a cowboy hat, free queso from Torchy’s for a year, and a thumbs up from the real Glen Powell’s mom,” according to Fox 7.

Who is Nikki Glaser’s boyfriend? Everything we know about Chris Convy and her dating history

Comedian and Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser and her boyfriend, Chris Convy, have been in an on-and-off relationship for over a decade.
The two first met in 2013 while working together on Glaser’s MTV show Nikki & Sara Live, where Convy, a producer, was part of the team. Their chemistry began behind the scenes, though their relationship didn’t develop right away.
“We met in New York… He was a producer on the show and he was from St. Louis, where I was from,” Glaser shared in an October 2022 interview with Graham Bensinger. She recalled that Convy’s confidence and humor initially made her assume he was a drinker, but she later discovered he didn’t drink at all — a revelation that deepened her interest. “I just had a crush from afar… It was very Jim and Pam [from The Office]. I was Jim, and he had no idea.”

Chelsea Handler defends mocking ex Jo Koy over disastrous Golden Globes hosting gig

Chelsea Handler defended mocking her ex-boyfriend Jo Koy’s controversial hosting gig at the 81st Golden Globes last year.
The Filipino-American comedian faced significant backlash after his opening monologue was widely criticized as “awkward,” “distasteful,” and “unfunny.”
One of the most contentious moments in Koy’s performance involved a joke about the film Barbie, which many found sexist. Additionally, comments directed at celebrities like Taylor Swift, Robert De Niro, and Meryl Streep drew groans and boos from the audience.
During the Critics Choice Awards that year, Chelsea Handler took a playful jab at Koy’s performance. Referring to his controversial decision to blame his writers for a failed joke during his monologue, Handler quipped while delivering her own well-received joke, “I have to give credit to my writers — because unlike some people, I know how valuable they are.”
In a new interview with Parade, Handler elaborated on her comment, saying, “Listen, I would’ve done that had anybody thrown their writers under a bus. I know more than anybody how valuable writers are. My whole life and my whole career is because I have great writers.”

Nikki Glaser to steer clear of one ‘hot-button’ topic at Golden Globes
Sunday 5 January 2025 14:50
Roisin O'Connor
Nikki Glaser may be preparing for the many jokes she will be telling during the 2025 Golden Globes, but there is one recent event that she has decided to not bring up.
The comedian and actress recently admitted in an interview with Yahoo Entertainment that while she may roast celebrities throughout the January 5 award show, she does not plan on bringing up anything regarding Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.
“I think the Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni thing is such a hot-button thing right now that even a mere mention of it will seem like I could be on the wrong side of things, even though I would never be,” she told the outlet.
“I also don’t want to give his name any ... I’m mad I even know his name, to be honest with you, so I don’t need to say it anymore.”
Ricky Gervais shares the jokes he’ll never get to say at the Golden Globes
Sunday 5 January 2025 14:41

Ricky Gervais has shared the brutal jokes he would have made if he was hosting the Golden Globes this weekend.
The comedian, 63, presented the awards ceremony for three consecutive years in 2010, 2011, and 2012 before returning to compère in 2016 and 2020. He is fondly remembered for making blunt quips at the expense of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
One day before comic Nikki Glaser becomes the first woman to host the Globes in its 82-year history, Gervais, who has advised the star to “be herself”, decided to come up with some jokes he’d have told in 2025 if he was fronting the ceremony again.

The 2025 Golden Globes are just around the corner, ready to kick off awards season and celebrate the best in TV and film from the past year.
Nominees were announced on December 9. The divisive Emilia Peréz leads the pack on 10 nominations, while Hulu’s The Bear once again dominated the TV categories.
This year’s ceremony comes three years after its 2022 ceremony was boycotted following a 2021 exposé by the Los Angeles Times, accusing its voting body, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), of a lack of diversity.
The organization has since reformed, expelling problematic voters and expanding its membership from around 85 to 300, including 10 percent Black representation.

“No one is gonna do a better roast set than that,” Conan O’Brien told her, adding that all future roasts will be measured against it. “Where is it on the Nikki Glaser scale? ‘It’s a 6.2.’ That’s pretty good, but it’s not her 10.”
