The ceremony promises an exciting lineup, with films like “Sinners,” “Wicked: For Good,” and “One Battle After Another” expected to garner multiple nominations. Given that the Golden Globes categorize awards into drama and comedy-musical, with each boasting six nominees, there is ample opportunity for both expected contenders and surprise entries to make the cut.

The announcement festivities will continue with a second batch of nominees being disclosed at 8:30 a.m. Eastern during the live broadcast of “CBS Mornings.” This year’s presenters, Marlon Wayans and Skye P. Marshall, will take center stage to reveal the names of those vying for the coveted accolades.

In a bid to move beyond its troubled history, the Golden Globes are introducing a significant change this year, adding a new category: the best podcast trophy. This comes alongside the relatively new award for cinematic and box-office achievement, a recognition that has previously been claimed by popular titles such as “Barbie” and “Wicked.”

As the Globes continue to transition out of their scandal-plagued past, there’s one notable change this year. For the first time, the Globes are giving a best podcast trophy. That adds to the two-year-old award for cinematic and box-office achievement, a prize that so far has gone to “Barbie” and “Wicked.”

After a series of scandals for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the group that previously put on the ceremony, the Globes were sold in 2023 to Todd Boehly’s Eldridge Industries and Dick Clark Productions, a part of Penske Media. A new, larger voting body of 300-plus people now vote on the awards, which moved from NBC to CBS on a shorter, less expensive deal.

Nikki Glaser is returning as host to the Jan. 11 Globes, airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. In January, Glaser won good reviews for her first time emceeing the ceremony. Ratings were essentially unchanged, slightly dipping to 9.3 million viewers, according to Nielsen, from 9.4 million in 2024.

In the early going in Hollywood’s awards season, Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” has dominated and is seen as the Oscar best picture front-runner. Also in the mix are Chloé Zhao’s “Hamnet,” Joachim Trier’s “Sentimental Value” and Josh Safdie’s “Marty Supreme.”

Helen Mirren will receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award in a separate prime-time special airing Jan. 8. Sarah Jessica Parker will be honored with the Carol Burnett Award.
