Often referred to as “Hollywood’s Party of the Year,” the Golden Globes is the largest awards show in the world to celebrate the best of both film and television. Multi-Emmy Award-winning producing duo Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner of White Cherry Entertainment (WCE) will return as executive producing showrunners, while Dick Clark Productions will plan, host and produce the 82nd Annual Golden Globes, which has been viewed in more than 185 countries and territories worldwide.
“Never Too Late” wasn’t nominated for a Globe, but being booked as presenters for the Globes could help the song’s chances in the Oscar balloting. Oscar nominations will be announced on January 17.
Nominations for the 2025 Golden Globes’ are led by films such as Netflix musical Emilia Pérez (featuring Selena Gomez) period saga The Brutalist, Broadway blockbuster Wicked and Vatican thriller Conclave, and promises to help steer an unusually confused race that’s yet to firm up clear frontrunners.
Last year was dominated by Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, which took home five awards before going on to win best picture at the Oscars. The season so far has seen Wicked named best film by the National Board of Review, A Different Man by the Gotham awards, The Brutalist by the New York Film Critics Circle and Anora by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. This week has also seen Bafta longlists led by Emilia Pérez and Conclave.
The New York Times awards specialist Kyle Buchanan has called it “a season that doesn’t appear to have an overwhelming sweeper” with “plenty of time for contenders to rise and fall.”
Other presenters this weekend will include nominees such as Demi Moore, Colman Domingo and Kathy Bates, as well as Andrew Garfield, Sharon Stone and Viola Davis.
The show will be hosted by Nikki Glaser, who is the first woman to solo host the Globes. It will be held in its usual home, the Grand Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.
Glaser is nominated for a Globe for best performance in stand-up comedy on television for her HBO/Max special Nikki Glaser: Someday You’ll Die. Glaser was nominated for a Primetime Emmy for outstanding variety special (pre-recorded) for her work on that special and is a current Grammy nominee for best comedy album, also for that special.
