Hollywood is gearing up for the 2025 Golden Globes, where films like “Wicked” and “The Brutalist” are vying for top honors. Stars like Timothee Chalamet and Selena Gomez are in the running for acting awards. The show will be hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser and broadcast live on CBS and Paramount+.

Glaser, known for her sharp wit, has set boundaries for herself to ensure a celebratory tone at the ceremony. Big-name presenters include Dwayne Johnson and Elton John. Leading the movie nominees are “Emilia Perez” and “The Brutalist,” with the latter considered a frontrunner for best film drama.

Unlike the Oscars, the Golden Globes have separate categories for musical and comedy films. Winning a Globe can boost a film’s chances at the Oscars. Predictions point to “The Brutalist” or “Conclave” winning best drama, while the musical or comedy category is harder to predict due to diverse nominees.

“The Bear” leads TV nominees, followed by “Only Murders in the Building” and “Shogun.” The Globes, with 334 voters from 85 countries, have implemented reforms for diversity and ethical standards.
