Who Is Hosting the 2025 Golden Globes?

Comedian Nikki Glaser will host the 2025 Golden Globes.

“I am absolutely thrilled to be hosting the Golden Globes,” Glaser said in the announcement in August. “It’s one of my favorite nights of television and now I get a front-row seat (actually, I think I have to host from the stage).”

“The Golden Globes is not only a huge night for TV and film but also for comedy,” she continued. “It’s one of the few times that show business not only allows but encourages itself to be lovingly mocked (at least I hope so). (God I hope so). It’s an exciting, yet challenging gig because it’s live, unpredictable, and in front of Hollywood’s biggest stars (who also might be getting wasted while seated next to their recent exes).”

“This is truly a dream job,” she ended. “Plus, I no longer have to feel guilty for every TV show and movie I’ve binged over the past year. It was all worth it. (Below Deck: Sailing Yacht Season Four will be nominated, right?).”

Who Is Nominated for a Golden Globe in 2025?

Leading the nominations is Emilia Pérez, which scored 10 nominations including for Best Musical or Comedy, Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for Karla Sofía Gascón, and Best Supporting Actress in a Musical or Comedy for Zoe Saldaña and Selena Gomez.

That was followed on the film side by The Brutalist with seven nominations, including Best Actor in a Drama for Adrien Brody and Best Drama. Conclave got six nominations, and Anora and The Substance earned five each.

Box office hit Wicked also received four nominations including acting nods for Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.

In television categories, The Bear leads with five total mentions, followed by Only Murders in the Building and Shogun with four each.

The nominations for the awards were be announced on Dec. 9 by actors Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut.

Who Are the Predicted Golden Globe Winners in 2025?

While there’s no way to be certain about the winner until Jan. 5, major entertainment publications like Gold Derby have already shared their predictions.

In the Drama Movie category, Gold Derby predicts Conclave will win Best Drama Movie, however, they incorrectly predicted that Gladiator II would be nominated. The odds are in Maria Angelina Jolie’s favor for the Best Actress in a Drama Movie category. For the male equivalent of that category, they are predicting Ralph Fiennes will win.

Mikey Madison is expected to win Best Actress in a Comedy Movie for Anora while Jesse Eisenberg is expected to win in the male category for A Real Pain.

Good luck to all the nominees! And happy watching!
