Golden Globes 2025: Viola Davis Honored, Nikki Glaser Hosts, and Top Contenders Revealed

The 2025 Golden Globe Awards are set to dazzle Hollywood on January 5, 2025, at the iconic Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. The ceremony, one of the most prestigious nights in entertainment, will air live on CBS and Paramount+, celebrating excellence in both film and television.

This year, Emmy-nominated comedian Nikki Glaser will take the stage as host, following a controversial stint by Jo Koy in 2024. In a statement, Glaser expressed her excitement for the role: “The Golden Globes is not only a huge night for TV and film but also for comedy. It’s live, unpredictable, and in front of Hollywood’s biggest stars (who also might be getting wasted while seated next to their recent exes).” With her sharp wit and a history of bold commentary, Glaser is poised to bring a fresh comedic edge to the evening.

A highlight of the event will be the presentation of the Cecil B. DeMille Award to the legendary Viola Davis. Recognized for her outstanding contributions to entertainment, Davis adds this accolade to her illustrious career, which includes an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for her role in Fences. She continues to inspire with her impactful performances and advocacy for representation in Hollywood.

On December 9, 2024, the nominations for the 2025 awards will be revealed, with frontrunners already generating buzz. In the Best Picture—Drama category, anticipated contenders include Dune: Part Two, Blitz, Sing Sing, and The Brutalist. For Best Picture—Comedy or Musical, highlights include Anora, Emilia Pérez, and Wicked.

As anticipation builds, the 2025 Golden Globes promise a night of celebration, humor, and unforgettable moments, reaffirming their place as a cornerstone of the entertainment industry.
