The calendar has been marked and the anticipation is starting to build as CBS, alongside the Golden Globe Awards, recently unveiled the official date for the 82nd annual awards ceremony. Hollywood’s esteemed assembly will embrace the red carpet on January 5, 2025, providing a glittering start to the new year with all the allure and excitement characteristic of Tinseltown’s prestigious accolades.
Aired live across the nation, viewers from every coast can tune in from 8-11 p.m. ET/5-8 p.m. PT to witness the ceremony on CBS. It will simultaneously stream on Paramount+ in the U.S., ensuring no screen is left in the dark. Subscribers to Paramount+ with Showtime can enjoy the show both live and on-demand, whilst Paramount+ Essential subscribers can access it on-demand the day after the special airs, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
The show’s nominations, always a point of immense speculation and debate, will be made public on Monday, December 9. Historically linked with NBC, where it has been broadcast for nearly all editions since 1996, with the notable exceptions of 2008 and 2022, the awards have faced their share of turmoil. 2008 saw a cancellation of the telecast due to a Writers Guild of America strike, and the 2022 event was mired in controversy over ethical concerns and questions regarding the make-up of its voting body. Nevertheless, the Golden Globes have found a new home at CBS earlier this year as highlighted by Billboard.
For those behind the scenes and viewers eagerly awaiting the spectacle, key dates circulating around the 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards have been announced, marking essential deadlines and milestones leading up to the main event:
The submission website will welcome entries for motion picture and television considerations starting Thursday, August 1, 2024. The interested parties have until Monday, November 4, 2024, to submit their works for contention through the official Golden Globes portal. As the season progresses, various deadlines ensue concerning nomination ballots, final screenings, and the all-important receipt of ballots deciding which stars and stories will vie for the golden statuettes. All of this culminates in the grand reveal of the nominations in December, followed closely by the dispatch of final ballots, and the eventual January ceremony.
The Golden Globe Awards have long stood as a bellwether for both film and television industries, where stars, directors, and creators from around the globe come together to celebrate the year’s finest performances and productions. These awards, presented in multiple categories, effectively bridge the gap between the small screen and the big, acknowledging an extensive array of talent and storytelling craft.
As preparations for the 82nd rendition of the awards commence, the film and television industries brace themselves for the rigorous competition and celebration that define the start of awards season. Eyes will turn to the Golden Globes for hints of who will climb to the top of Hollywood’s hierarchy and who will set the pace for subsequent ceremonies. As the dust settles on nominated projects and speculation mounts, one can rest assured the Golden Globes will, as always, provide a dazzling display of the creative zenith the world of entertainment has to offer.
