Golden Globes 2025 host, honorees and when to watch

Historically, the Golden Globes have been a lot of fun. Throughout the 2000s and 2000s, it served as a showcase for great comedy, with Ricky Gervais, Tina Fey, and Amy Poehler each having many famous monologues. In addition, honorary award recipients such as Oprah and Meryl Streep regularly captured the audience’s attention with their speeches. However, the 2024 awards were an unmitigated disaster for host Joe Coy, and not for nothing, Jerrod Carmichael’s tryout from the previous year remains one of the great anomalies in modern awards show memory. The unenviable task of this year’s show will be to make everyone forget that. Will they do that? Well, actually, given the Hosts and Award recipients We know they are set up for success.

Certified assassin Nikki Glaser, from whom we expect absolute slaughter. Glaser has already had the best 2024 a comedian could ask for: she’s had a huge hit For Tom Brady’s roast; She was released privately, Someday you will dieto critical acclaim; And it has to be Everyone in Los Angeles. “I am thrilled to be hosting the Golden Globe Awards,” Glaser said in a statement. “It’s one of my favorite nights of television, and now I get a front row seat (in fact, I think I’ll have to host from the stage).”

For what it’s worth, she seems excited to get back on the “Fey and Poehler” track: “Some of my favorite jokes ever came from past Golden Globes opening monologues when Tina or Amy or Ricky said exactly what we all said. I didn’t know we needed to hear that so badly.” I just hope I can continue the respectful tradition (which might also lead to me canceling “We Just Hope, Nicky”).SwiftyFor Glaser’s sake, Taylor Swift is making even happier faces in this year’s collection Than I did in Koi.

Glaser said Vanity gallery In December she tested her monologue material at shows in several different states. (One thing I learned is that “the Hawk Tuah reference lights up the room in a way… evil The ref doesn’t even do that.”) “If things go bad, there’s nothing I can do differently because I’ve taken into account every variable,” Glaser said. “I’ve worked my fucking ass off on this.”

Who guarantees appearance? This year’s full list of presenters includes Andrew Garfield, Anthony Mackie, Anthony Ramos, Anya Taylor-Joy, Ariana DeBose, Aubrey Plaza, Aulily Cravalho, Awkwafina, Brandi Carlile, Catherine O’Hara, Colin Farrell, Colman Domingo and Demi Moore. Dwayne Johnson, Edgar Ramirez, Elton John, Gal Gadot, Glenn Close, Jeff Goldblum, Jennifer Coolidge, Kaley Cuoco, Kate Hudson, Kathy Bates, Ki-Hui Kwan, Kerry Washington, Margaret Qualley, Melissa McCarthy, Michael Keaton, Michelle Yeoh, Miles Teller, Mindy Kaling, Maurice Chestnut, Nate Bargatz, Nicolas Cage, Rachel Brosnahan, Rob McElhenney, Salma Hayek Pinault, Sarah Paulson, Seth Rogen, Sharon Stone, Vin Diesel, Viola Davis, and Zoë Kravitz. We’re especially excited to see what Jennifer Coolidge has to say and what Michelle Yeoh wears.

There’s no way to know who will win the competitive awards yet, but there is one official honorary award: Ted Danson will receive the Carol Burnett Award, Globes reported Dec. 2. “He will be forever ingrained in television history,” Golden Globes chair Helen Hoehn said in a statement. He added: “His celebrated career is a testament to his remarkable talent and versatility as an actor, and bears resemblance to the legendary award of the same name.” If he becomes a politician, we expect Danson to talk about the environment, since he currently sits on the board of Oceana, a non-profit organization working to save the oceans. (Yes, he’s going to the good place.)

Meanwhile, the Cecil B. DeMille Award will go to icon, legend and, perhaps most notably, the brilliant speechmaker Viola Davis. “Viola Davis is an iconic figure whose profound talent changed the lens through which we see and understand film,” Hohne said in a statement. “Honoring her the 2025 Cecil B. DeMille Award is not only an honor, but a reflection of our admiration for her continued dedication to her craft and her tremendous impact on the industry.” I don’t want to put too much pressure on him, but we expect this to be the speech of the night. Although, hey, who knows? Maybe Margaret Qualley will win supporting actress and impress.

The nominations were revealed on December 9 by Mindy Kaling and Maurice Chestnut, both of whom will also host the big show. Emilia Perez Al-Sabah won with a total of ten nominations, while Article It performed better than expected for a horror film, scoring five points. on television, Bear It continued its status as an award darling, scoring five nominations, while Shogun and Murders only in the building They were close behind with four each.
