4 min read

The 82nd Golden Globe Awards was an awards ceremony that honored excellence in film and American television productions of 2024. The winners were revealed during the live telecast, airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+ on January 5, 2025. The event was hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, making her the first solo female host in Golden Globes history.

The nominations were announced live on December 9, 2024, at a press conference at the Beverly Hilton by actors Morris Chestnut and Mindy Kaling, following an introduction from Golden Globes president, Helen Hoenhe. Emilia Pérez, with 10 nominations, became the most nominated comedy/musical film in Golden Globes history, just 1 shy of the overall record of 11, set by Robert Altman's country music satire Nashville in the drama category in 1976. The Brutalist received the second-most in film with 7 nominations, followed by Conclave with 6. Additionally, The Bear led the television nominations with 5, followed by Only Murders in the Building and Shōgun with 4 each.

Ceremony information

On August 28, 2024, comedian Nikki Glaser was announced as the host for this year's ceremony, following last year's widely criticized host, comedian Jo Koy. She is the first woman to host the Golden Globes solo. Glaser herself was nominated for Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television for her HBO comedy special, Nikki Glaser: Someday You'll Die, but lost to Netflix's Ali Wong: Single Lady.

The ceremony was held at 5:00 p.m. PST / 8:00 p.m. EST on January 5, 2025. It was broadcast live on CBS and streamed on Paramount+. Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner of White Cherry Entertainment returned from last year to executive produce the ceremony, along with Dick Clark Productions.

On December 3, 2024, it was announced that the two Lifetime Achievement Awards, which were not presented last year, would return this year; however, they were presented during an untelevised gala dinner on January 3, 2025, prior to the telecast, similar to the Academy Awards' Governors Awards. The recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award was Viola Davis, while the Carol Burnett Award was awarded to Ted Danson.

Winners and nominees

Emilia Pérez star Karla Sofía Gascón was the first trans nominee for a Golden Globe motion picture acting category, for the Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy category. Jacques Audiard, the director and writer of the film, was one of the most nominated individuals, with a total of three nominations: Best Director, Best Screenplay, and co-lyricist of Best Original Song nominee "El Mal". The composers and co-lyricists of the song, Camille and Clément Ducol, tied Audiard for most nominated individuals. Aside from "El Mal", they were also jointly nominated for composing Emilia Pérez's Best Original Score and an additional Best Original Song nominee: "Mi camino".

This year's nominations were tabulated by KPMG, the U.S. audit, tax, and advisory firm, taking over Ernst & Young after fifty plus years. Netflix received a total of 36 nominations between film and television, the most of any distributor.

Flow is the first Latvian film to win Best Animated Feature Film. Fernanda Torres became the first Brazilian actress to win a Golden Globe in an acting category, as well as the first Brazilian, first South American and first Portuguese-speaking actor to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama.
