Everything to Know About the 2025 Golden Globes, From How to Watch the Awards Show to the Nominees

Happy Awards Season! 2025 is here, and the 82nd Annual Golden Globes are just around the corner, starting the new year with a booze-fueled celebration of the best in film and TV. We have high expectations for the famed awards ceremony, as it's set to provide both a luxurious kick-off for this year's red carpets and a hopefully joyous start to the loaded year in entertainment ahead.

This year's set of nominees includes some of the internet's favorite celebrities and impressive wins for diversity in filmmaking. Women make up one-third of the nominations in the Best Director category, and Emilia Pérez star Karla Sofía Gascón is the first transgender woman to be nominated for a film in the lead actress category. Meanwhile, in perhaps the buzziest match-up of the evening, Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande will face off in the supporting actress category for their performances in Emilia Pérez and Wicked. (Selenators and Arianators, let's keep things civil!)
