Get ready for the Golden Globes: Who's nominated, hosting, the honorees, and more
CBC
The Golden Globes will return Sunday with major star appeal thanks to a slew of big name nominees, including Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet, Angelina Jolie, Daniel Craig, Denzel Washington, Ariana Grande and more.
Nominations for the 82nd awards ceremony were announced last month. The show will be televised by CBS and streamed on Paramount+ beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday.
Here are key things to know about the ceremony:
Comedian and actor Nikki Glaser was chosen to serve as host.
Glaser has made a name for herself as a riotously sharp wit, especially at roasts, including recently for Tom Brady, who she needled for his complex love life and his one-time advocacy of crypto. She earned an Emmy nomination for her latest special, HBO's Someday You'll Die, which dealt with everything from offering to pay for her friends' abortions to her darkest porn habits.
Glaser cited Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Ricky Gervais as inspirations. She'll follow last year's host Jo Koy, who was slammed by critics for a fumbled opening monologue and a rushed pace throughout.
Glaser began her roasting at the red carpet rollout on Thursday, taking aim at the Globes' broadcaster: "We're on CBS, which has a show called 60 Minutes, because that's the remaining lifespan of many of its viewers."
But she said that while she'd "push the boundaries a little bit," she doesn't aim to offend: "I don't want to ruin anyone's evening — at home or in the audience."
Jacques Audiard's audacious musical Emilia Pérez, about a Mexican drug lord who undergoes gender affirming surgery, leads all nominees with 10.
That put it ahead of other contenders like the musical smash Wicked, the papal thriller Conclave and the postwar epic The Brutalist.
The Apprentice, about Donald Trump as a young man, also landed nominations for its two central performances, by Sebastian Stan as Trump and Jeremy Strong as Roy Cohn.
The Bear leads all television nominees with five.
With his 11th nomination, Denzel Washington is the most-nominated Black performer at the Globes.
Steve Martin is nominated for the fourth straight year in the best television actor in a musical or comedy series category for Only Murders in the Building. The nomination marks his ninth overall and could be his first-ever Globes win.
