When and Where to Watch
The 2025 Golden Globes will be broadcast live from The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles on CBS at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. For viewers who prefer online options, the show will also stream on Paramount+ (for those with the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME tier subscription). Live-streaming platforms like Hulu + Live TV, YouTube Live, and Fubo will also provide access to the ceremony.
The official red-carpet pre-show starts at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT on Paramount+ and Penske Media’s platforms, including Variety and Entertainment Tonight.
Nominations
This year, the theme of diversity is prominent as women comprise one-third of the Best Director nominees. Karla Sofía Gascón, who stars in Emilia Pérez, becomes the first transgender woman to be nominated in the Lead Actress category. Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande will compete for the Supporting Actress category for Emilia Pérez and Wicked, a friendly fandom debate in the making.
Netflix has emerged as the leader in nominations, securing an impressive 23 nods for TV and 13 for film.
On the TV front, The Bear dominates with the most nominations, though it faces stiff competition from shows like Baby Reindeer, Nobody Wants This, and Ripley, which have also garnered multiple nods. A24 and HBO have also earned several nominations, highlighting the growing competition in TV series this year.
Emilia Pérez is at the top with 10 nominations, followed by The Brutalist and Conclave. In television, FX’s The Bear has dominated with five nominations after the historic Emmy success it achieved.
Presenters and Special Honorees
Comedian Nikki Glaser will host this year’s Globes, making history as the first solo female host. Known for her razor-sharp humor, Glaser promises a night filled with laughs. She’s also a nominee this year for her HBO stand-up special Someday You’ll Die.
