The 82nd Golden Globes are set to air on Sunday night at 8 p.m. EST, promising a night filled with glitz, glamour, and top-notch entertainment. Hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, the ceremony will take place at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, and will be broadcast live by CBS and available for streaming on Paramount+ with Showtime.

This year's nominees include a star-studded lineup featuring Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet, Angelina Jolie, Daniel Craig, Denzel Washington, Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and Selena Gomez. Leading the pack is Jacques Audiard's Netflix musical “Emilia Pérez” with 10 nominations, followed by Brady Corbet's postwar epic “The Brutalist” with seven nods, and Edward Berger's papal thriller “Conclave” with six.

One of the most anticipated categories is the best actor in a drama, with contenders such as Ralph Fiennes, Adrien Brody, Daniel Craig, Colman Domingo, Sebastian Stan, and Timothée Chalamet vying for the coveted award. Chalamet, in particular, is hoping to secure his first Globe and generate some Oscar buzz with his performance in the Bob Dylan film “A Complete Unknown.”

Amidst the excitement of the awards show, there are also whispers of Hollywood's biggest feud involving Blake Lively and director Justin Baldoni. Lively recently filed a lawsuit against Baldoni and others, alleging harassment and a smear campaign against her. This controversy is sure to be on the minds of many attendees at the event.

Nominees include Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet, Angelina Jolie, and more.

Additionally, the Globes could take a political turn, given the proximity to the presidential inauguration. While most nominees have steered clear of political commentary during awards season, the drama series “The Apprentice” starring Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong could bring some political undertones to the forefront.

As the awards season unfolds, the race for the Oscars remains wide open, with films like “Conclave,” “Anora,” “Wicked,” “Emilia Pérez,” and “The Brutalist” all vying for recognition. A strong showing at the Golden Globes could potentially boost the Oscar campaigns of these contenders.

With a mix of star power, drama, and potential political intrigue, the 82nd Golden Globes are shaping up to be a must-watch event for fans of film and television.
