It’s Sunday night and the 83rd edition of the annual Golden Globe Awards will soon crown the best movies and TV shows of the year.
The ceremony is highly anticipated each year because it kicks off Hollywood’s award season, helping audiences know what to expect from the rest of the major Hollywood awards until the 2026 season culminates with the Oscars on March 15.
Leading nominations on the movie-side is nine-times-nominee One Battle After Another, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, who has said multiple times that there is a “Star Wars theme” to the movie. On the TV-side, HBO’s The White Lotus was the lead with six nominations.
The Golden Globes garnered some controversy earlier this week ahead of the ceremony when it announced a partnership with Polymarket, the crypto-based prediction market that allows users to bet on real-world events. Polymarket has been at the center of insider trading scrutiny this week after an anonymous user made more than $400,000 on the fall of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, doubling down on the bet just hours before the bombing of Caracas.
As part of the deal with the Golden Globes, Polymarket will provide real-time market insights during the official viewing party.
When is it?
The award ceremony will start at 5 pm PT / 8 pm ET on Sunday night.
Where is it?
The ceremony is taking place at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, in the same location that has played host for more than 40 years.
How do I watch it?
CBS will be broadcasting the ceremony live and the broadcast will be available on the CBS app. If you don’t have network television or access to streaming services with live TV like Hulu+ Live TV and YouTube TV, you can stream the awards on Paramount+ but only if you’re subscribed to its premium tier, which costs $12.99 a month after a seven-day free trial.
Who’s hosting it?
Grammy and Emmy-nominated comedian Nikki Glaser will be returning as host after gathering major praise for her performance hosting the 2025 Golden Globes.
Which genre movies and shows were nominated?
Although there were some snubs, genre movies scored more than a couple nominations in major categories. Director Guillermo Del Toro’s retelling of Frankenstein and the major box office sensation that was director Ryan Coogler’s Sinners were both nominated for Best Drama. Frankenstein in total got five nominations while Sinners notched seven. The sci-fi mystery Bugonia, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, got three nominations, including Best Musical or Comedy.
Meanwhile Avatar: Fire and Ash, got nominated for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement even before the movie’s official release, in a calculated bet that turned out to be correct as the movie has already made more than a billion dollars internationally.
On the TV side, Apple TV’s sci-fi favorites Severance and Pluribus were both nominated for Best Drama. Severance has a total of four nominations and Pluribus has two. Netflix’s freshly-renewed sci-fi antholoy Black Mirror is nominated for a Best Limited Series award, while the recently cancelled Peacock show Poker Face’s Natasha Lyonne and the Netflix original Wednesday’s Jenna Ortega are both up for a Best Female Actor award.
And while Disney+’s fan-favorite Andor was largely snubbed, the show’s lead Diego Luna did get nominated for the Best Performance By A Male Actor in the Drama category.
