The 82nd Golden Globe Awards have made their much-anticipated return, bringing back the glitz, glamour, and drama that Hollywood loves to showcase. After years of controversy and restructuring, the Globes are attempting a grand comeback, now under the stewardship of Todd Boehly’s Eldridge Industries, Dick Clark Productions, and a new CBS contract. The ceremony, held at its traditional home—the Beverly Hilton—is set to reclaim its position as a defining moment in the awards season calendar. With comedian Nikki Glaser hosting, the show promises humor, edge, and just enough controversy to keep it compelling, especially following Jo Koy’s scandalous hosting stint last year.

This year’s nominations reflect a dynamic blend of critical darlings and crowd-pleasers. Jacques Audiard’s Emilia Pérez has made history in the musical/comedy categories with a record-breaking ten nominations, cementing its status as a frontrunner. Meanwhile, Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist leads the dramatic categories with seven nods, showcasing its strong awards season momentum. Other top contenders include Anora, Conclave, and Wicked, while Payal Kapadia’s Cannes sensation, All We Imagine as Light, emerges as a dark horse with potential to shake up the race.

The Globes have long been known as Hollywood’s most unpredictable night, with its mix of red carpet elegance, unexpected snubs, and surprise wins. This year is no exception, with high stakes for nominees as the road to the Oscars comes into focus. The ceremony will likely shape early predictions, establish narratives, and define the season’s front-runners. Despite its tumultuous recent history, the Golden Globes seem poised to remind the world why they’ve been a staple of Hollywood’s awards season for decades—captivating, controversial, and undeniably entertaining.
