It\u2019s January, almost all of the presumed contenders for the best picture Oscar have been widely released, and yet one has not emerged to lead the pack like Christopher Nolan\u2019s \u201cOppenheimer\u201d did last year. Could the Golden Globes, taking place Sunday, Jan. 5, on CBS, bring some clarity?<\/p>\n
There\u2019s \u201cAnora<\/a>,\u201d Sean Baker\u2019s Cinderella story; \u201cThe Brutalist<\/a>,\u201d Brady Corbet\u2019s postwar immigrant epic; \u201cConclave,<\/a>\u201d Edward Berger\u2019s much-memed drama<\/a> about catty cardinals; and finally Jacques Audiard\u2019s narco musical \u201cEmilia P\u00e9rez<\/a>,\u201d which leads the Golden Globes film nominees with 10 overall.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s how to watch the Globes \u2014 and what to watch for.<\/p>\n The ceremony begins at 8 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific, at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif. CBS is the official television broadcaster.<\/p>\n Online, you can watch live on the CBS app, though you\u2019ll need the credentials from your cable provider to sign in. The show will also stream on Paramount+, but only subscribers who have the premium Paramount+ with Showtime plan will be able to watch live. For those who do not, the ceremony can be streamed beginning Monday on Paramount+.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Some good news: Paramount+ offers seven-day free trials for new subscribers. Just remember to cancel your subscription before the end of the week to avoid being charged.<\/p>\n A number of live TV streaming services also offer access to CBS, including Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV and FuboTV, all of which require subscriptions, though many are offering free trials.<\/p>\n Variety<\/a> and Entertainment Tonight<\/a> will stream red carpet arrivals beginning at 6:30 p.m. Eastern, 3:30 p.m. Pacific, on their websites and social media platforms as part of the official Globes preshow. You can also watch on the Golden Globes website<\/a>. (Penske Media Corp. owns both the Golden Globes and Variety, among other brands.)<\/p>\n The comedian and actress Nikki Glaser will be the ceremony\u2019s first solo female host. Things are pretty much guaranteed to go better than last year, when the comedian Jo Koy was tapped as the night\u2019s host just 10 days before the event and bombed<\/a>.<\/p>\n The lineup of actors, comedians and musicians who will hand out awards includes Nicolas Cage, Colman Domingo, Andrew Garfield, Demi Moore, Anya Taylor-Joy, Brandi Carlile, Elton John and Nate Bargatze.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n With the Hollywood Foreign Press Association<\/a> dissolved after several scandals, an expanded group of more than 300 entertainment journalists from 85 countries is now responsible for selecting nominees and winners. The voting body<\/a> is not only much larger than the approximately 80-person, overwhelmingly white H.F.P.A. was, it is also more diverse.<\/p>\n The Globes\u2019 two lifetime achievement honors, the Cecil B. DeMille and Carol Burnett awards, which honor contributions to entertainment and television, won\u2019t be handed out live at the main ceremony. The honorees, the actors Viola Davis and Ted Danson, will be recognized at a separate gala dinner on Friday evening<\/a>, with prerecorded highlights to be shown on the Globes telecast.<\/p>\n \u201cEmilia P\u00e9rez<\/a>\u201d is leading the pack among films, with 10 nominations, followed by \u201cThe Brutalist\u201d (seven), \u201cConclave\u201d (six) and \u201cAnora\u201d (five).<\/p>\n On the TV side, Season 3 of FX\u2019s restaurant dramedy \u201cThe Bear\u201d is out in front with five nominations. It\u2019s followed by the Hulu mystery comedy \u201cOnly Murders in the Building\u201d and FX\u2019s \u201cShogun,\u201d each of which picked up four nominations.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re just here for the outfits, good news: Fashion-forward stars like Colman Domingo (\u201cSing Sing\u201d), Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet (\u201cA Complete Unknown\u201d), Angelina Jolie (\u201cMaria\u201d), Zendaya (\u201cChallengers\u201d), and the \u201cWicked\u201d co-stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are likely to be on hand.<\/p>\n Karla Sof\u00eda Gasc\u00f3n, a star of \u201cEmilia P\u00e9rez,\u201d could become the first transgender actress to win a Globe for a film performance. (She would be the second transgender actress winner after Michaela Ja\u00e9 Rodriguez, who took home a prize for the TV drama \u201cPose\u201d in 2022.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n One dark horse to look out for is \u201cThe Substance,\u201d the body-horror movie that is nominated in five categories, including best musical or comedy (do not ask us to explain this categorization<\/a>).<\/p>\n Among television nominees, look for \u201cShogun\u201d to clean up in the drama categories. Strong showings are also predicted for the Max comedy \u201cHacks\u201d and its star Jean Smart as well as Richard Gadd\u2019s Netflix stalker drama, \u201cBaby Reindeer.\u201d<\/p>\n Given that the Globes give out two top awards to films each year \u2014 for best drama and best musical or comedy \u2014 you would think they would overlap a lot more often than they do.<\/p>\n But the Globes winner in either category has gone on to win best picture at the Oscars in only four of the past 10 years.<\/p>\n The Globes statuettes are surprisingly heavy<\/a>: Each one tips the scales at 7.8 pounds. (A gallon of milk, for comparison, clocks in at 8.6 pounds.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhat time does the show start, and where can I watch?<\/h2>\n
Is there a red carpet?<\/h2>\n
