Golden Globe Awards: What to Expect
Sinners, Marty Supreme, and One Battle After Another are among the films set to compete at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night. Other contenders include Frankenstein, Sentimental Value, Hamnet, and Wicked: For Good. This year, the awards introduce a new category for best podcast alongside nominees in TV categories such as Adolescence, The Pitt, and The Studio.
The Golden Globes serve as a major milestone in the film awards season, occurring just under two weeks before the Oscar nominations, which will be revealed on January 22. The event features a range of categories that deliver more trophies than many other ceremonies, as they differentiate between drama and musical or comedy categories.
Leading acting nominations are Timothée Chalamet, Emma Stone, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jessie Buckley, and Michael B. Jordan.
Main Film Nominees
- One Battle After Another
- Sentimental Value

How to Watch the Golden Globes
The Golden Globes will air on the CBS network in the US and livestream on Paramount+. Unfortunately, there are no legal options to watch the ceremony live in the UK, but BBC News will cover the event throughout the night. The ceremony begins at 01:00 GMT Monday morning, typically running between three to four hours from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.
Significance of the Golden Globes
While winning a Golden Globe doesn’t guarantee an Oscar win, it can significantly enhance a film or actor's visibility. As one of the first awards shows of the season, it provides momentum for films and actors in the lead-up to the Oscars. The Globes are often seen as more lighthearted and informal than the Oscars, with a relaxed atmosphere that allows for memorable, entertaining moments.
