The ceremony will air live coast-to-coast. Stations in the Pacific time zone that carry the event live will also rebroadcast the entire telecast in primetime immediately following the live presentation.
A preshow from the red carpet will begin at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT and will be available online via Entertainment Tonight’s YouTube, GoldenGlobes.com and on platforms including Variety, Paramount+, CBS News Mobile App and CBS News Streaming, Pluto TV, Samsung TV Plus, Roku Channels, Amazon Channels, Sling TV, VUIT, Vizio Live Watch and Local Now.
It’s the first time since 1982 that the Globes has been on CBS. The ceremony ended its longtime contract with NBC after last year’s show, which drew 6.3 million viewers, an all-time low for the Globes as it continued to recover from various membership scandals and structural revamp.
Sunday’s three-hour ceremony begins at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, with a loaded list of presenters scheduled to help announce winners: Amanda Seyfried, America Ferrera, Andra Day, Angela Bassett, Annette Bening, Ben Affleck, Daniel Kaluuya, Don Cheadle, Dua Lipa, Elizabeth Banks, Florence Pugh, Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias, Gabriel Macht, George Lopez, Hailee Steinfeld, Hunter Schafer, Issa Rae, Jared Leto, Jodie Foster, Jon Batiste, Jonathan Bailey, Julia Garner, Justin Hartley, Kate Beckinsale, Keri Russell, Kevin Costner, Mark Hamill, Matt Damon, Michelle Yeoh, Naomi Watts, Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom, Patrick J. Adams, Ray Romano, Rose McIver, Shameik Moore, Simu Liu, Utkarsh Ambudkar and Will Ferrell.
They will be bestowing honors in 26 categories, with Warner Bros’ Barbie, 2023’s biggest box office biggest hit, and HBO’s Succession, TV’s most dominant drama that wrapped its run last year, leading all nominees coming in to the night with nine apiece.
This year’s show will also feature two new categories: Cinematic and Box Office Achievement in Motion Pictures and Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television.
Longtime Globes producer Dick Clark Productions is planning, hosting and producing this year’s awards after the Globes’ assets, rights and properties were acquired by DCP and PMC Media Eldridge from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association back in June.
Dcp is owned by Penske Media Eldridge, a PMC subsidiary and joint venture between Penske Media Corporation and Eldridge. PMC is also the parent company of Deadline.
Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner of White Cherry Entertainment are executive producers/showrunners for Sunday’s telecast, with Weiss also set to direct. Barry Adelman and Helen Hoehne are also executive producers.
What time is the show? How can I watch it?
The 81st Golden Globe Awards — the 2024 awards season’s kickoff event — will air Jan. 7 at 5 p.m. Pacific on CBS and will stream on Paramount+, with different terms for different levels of subscriber. Paramount+ with Showtime subscribers in the U.S. can see the show live and on demand, while Paramount+ Essential subscribers can watch on demand the day after the special airs in the U.S. only. The show will be broadcast from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.
Viewers can also tune in early to the Variety and “Entertainment Tonight” pre-show, which will stream live from the red carpet from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Pacific on Variety.com, ETOnline.com, GoldenGlobes.com and YouTube.
Who is hosting?
The ceremony will be hosted by stand-up Jo Koy, who seems more inclined toward gentle fun than prior years’ emcees Ricky Gervais and Jerrod Carmichael, whose jokes dug a bit too deep for the awards’ liking.
“A lot of [Koy’s] comedy is family-based, so I don’t know that it’s going to be as mean-spirited as you’re hoping,” the telecast’s executive-producing showrunner Ricky Kirshner told The Times.
Koy has released five highly-rated stand-up specials on Comedy Central and Netflix, appeared in the Improv’s 60th anniversary Netflix special and recently concluded his Funny is Funny World Tour.
And he intends to deliver at what was long billed as “Hollywood’s Party of the Year.”
“As a kid and watching TV and not having that many role models to kind of indirectly inspire me, that’s what this means to me,” the Filipino American actor told the Associated Press. Koy is the second Asian host in Globes history, after Sandra Oh hosted in 2019.
“This is a beautiful moment. I really want to make sure I knock this out of the park,” he said.
What’s nominated?
The 2024 Golden Globe nominees were announced last month, with “Barbie” and its nine nominations leading the pack. Its twin flame, “Oppenheimer,” is close behind with eight nominations. Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” and Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” each earned seven nods.
In the TV categories, HBO’s “Succession” leads with nine nominations, followed by Hulu series “The Bear” and “Only Murders in the Building,” which each have five.
This year, the awards will also debut two new categories: cinematic and box-office achievement in motion pictures, and best stand-up comedian on television.
