How to Watch the Golden Globes (Including Details on the New Host)

The 82nd annual Golden Globes will take place on Sunday, January 5, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in California. The three-hour telecast will begin at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT and end at 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT, so set your DVRs.

The 82nd Golden Globes will be broadcast on CBS. Viewers can also tune into the live broadcast on the CBS app or stream it on Paramount+. 

George Cheeks, President and CEO of CBS, said in a statement, “CBS’ collaboration with the Globes for this year’s broadcast was a big win for both of us and established strong momentum for awards shows in 2024. The Globes is a one-of-a-kind live event that adds another marquee special and valuable promotional platform to CBS’ annual calendar.”

No cable? No problem. You can access the Golden Globes ceremony by signing up for a streaming service that includes CBS:

• YouTube TV: The service offers live TV from over 100 channels, including all the primetime networks. The subscription comes with a free trial, so don’t forget to cancel before it expires.
• Paramount+: If you're only planning to tune in to the award show, then Paramount+ is your best bet. Plans start at just $6 a month, with one week free. That gets you CBS, as well as a huge catalog of movies and shows from Paramount.
• FuboTV: The streaming service offers plenty more than sports coverage. With Fubo Pro, you can get 189 channels, including CBS, for $75 per month—and they offer a seven-day free trial.
• Hulu + Live TV: Hulu + Live TV (with ads) will run you $77 a month, and without ads, it's $90 a month. They boast 75 live channels, which includes CBS.

In December 2024, the Golden Globes announced that stand-up comedian and actress Nikki Glaser will host the 82nd annual ceremony. You may recognize her from reality TV dating shows like Blind Date, FBoy Island and Lovers and Liars. The 40-year-old celebrated the exciting news by releasing a statement.

Per Variety, she said, “I am absolutely thrilled to be hosting the Golden Globes. It’s one of my favorite nights of television and now I get a front-row seat (actually, I think I have to host from the stage). The Golden Globes is not only a huge night for TV and film, but also for comedy. It’s one of the few times that show business not only allows, but encourages itself to be lovingly mocked (at least I hope so)...Some of my favorite jokes of all time have come from past Golden Globes opening monologues when Tina, Amy or Ricky have said exactly what we all didn’t know we desperately needed to hear. I just hope to continue in that time-honored tradition.”

Hoehne also praised the comedian and said, “Nikki Glaser is a comedic powerhouse whose daring and unfiltered humor is the perfect match for the Golden Globes. She is sure to bring a unique energy and spontaneity to the show that will keep the audience entertained all night.”

Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut announced the Golden Globes nominations for the 2025 ceremony on Monday, December 9.

As you'd expect, the categories are stacked, with box office hits like Wicked and Gladiator II scoring a few nominations. You can see all of the nominees here, as well as our predictions for winners.

In November 2024, the Golden Globes announced that Fences star and Golden Globe winner Viola Davis will be the Cecil B. DeMille Award honoree for 2025. She'll be joining a list of Hollywood greats who also received the award, including Walt Disney, Sidney Poitier, Barbra Streisand and Oprah Winfrey.

Hoehne said, “Viola Davis is a luminary whose profound talent has continuously shifted the lens through which we see and understand film. Presenting her with the 2025 Cecil B. DeMille Award is not only an honor but a reflection of our admiration for her relentless dedication to her craft and her monumental impact on the industry. Viola’s courage in portraying complex, powerful characters has broken barriers and paved new paths, making her an emblem of excellence and an ideal recipient of this prestigious award.”

There sure will. Although the details haven't been confirmed just yet, Variety and Entertainment Tonight will likely team up again to cover the red carpet pre-show, which streams on their official websites and goldenglobes.com.
