Hollywood’s glitziest night is just around the corner, and anticipation is reaching fever pitch. On Sunday, January 11, 2026, the 83rd annual Golden Globe Awards will light up the Beverly Hilton, drawing together stars from across the entertainment universe for what’s often dubbed “Hollywood’s Party of the Year.” This year’s ceremony, running from 8pm to 11pm ET (5pm to 8pm PT), will be broadcast live on CBS and streamed globally on Paramount+, ensuring fans in more than 185 countries and territories can join in the festivities from their own living rooms.
The event marks not only the first major awards show of the season but also the first time the Golden Globes have shifted to the second week of January. Why the move? According to Deadline, organizers wanted to make room for the inaugural Golden Week—a new series of events designed to build excitement in the days leading up to the ceremony. Golden Week includes Golden Eve, a CBS primetime special airing January 8, which will honor the recipients of the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award and Carol Burnett Award. And that’s just the start: the week will be capped off with pre- and post-show parties hosted by industry heavyweights like Universal, Amazon MGM Studios, Netflix, NEON, and BAFTA.
Returning to helm the night’s proceedings is comedian and actress Nikki Glaser. Known for her sharp wit and Emmy-nominated comedic chops, Glaser is expected to keep the mood lively, promising an evening full of laughs, viral moments, and surprises. Judging by her previous outings, she’s well equipped to wrangle Hollywood’s biggest personalities and keep the three-hour show running smoothly.
But Glaser won’t be alone on stage. This year’s roster of presenters is a veritable who’s who of film, television, and music—an A-list assembly that reads like a roll call of modern pop culture. Presenters include Amanda Seyfried, Ana de Armas, Ayo Edebiri, Charli xcx, Chris Pine, Colman Domingo, Connor Storrie, Dakota Fanning, Dave Franco, Diane Lane, George Clooney, Hailee Steinfeld, Hudson Williams, Jason Bateman, Jennifer Garner, Joe Keery, Judd Apatow, Julia Roberts, Justin Hartley, Kathryn Hahn, Keegan-Michael Key, Kevin Bacon, Kevin Hart, Kyra Sedgwick, Lalisa Manobal, Luke Grimes, Macaulay Culkin, Marlon Wayans, Melissa McCarthy, Mila Kunis, Miley Cyrus, Minnie Driver, Orlando Bloom, Pamela Anderson, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Queen Latifah, Regina Hall, Sean Hayes, Snoop Dogg, Wanda Sykes, Will Arnett, and Zoë Kravitz (as confirmed by both Deadline and HOLA!).
Among the presenters, some names stand out for their recent achievements and representation. Ana de Armas, the Cuban-Spanish actress and two-time Golden Globe nominee, will be representing Latinas this year. She previously earned nominations for her roles in Blonde (2023) and Knives Out (2020), and her presence is sure to be celebrated by fans and advocates of greater diversity in Hollywood. Colman Domingo, another two-time nominee, will also present. Domingo has had a notable role in this year’s Golden Globes, making a special appearance at Golden Eve. His nominations include Sing Sing (2025) and Rustin (2024), reflecting his growing influence in the industry.
The ceremony itself will honor achievements across 26 categories, spanning television, film, and—interestingly—podcasting. This expansion acknowledges the changing landscape of entertainment and the growing importance of audio storytelling. The competition is fierce, with several productions leading the pack in nominations. On the film side, One Battle After Another is the frontrunner with nine nominations, followed by Sentimental Value with eight, Sinners with seven, Hamnet with six, Wicked: For Good with five, and It Was Just an Accident with four. For television, The White Lotus leads with six nominations, trailed by Adolescence (five), Only Murders in the Building (four), Severance (four), and The Bear (three).
The Golden Globes are produced by Dick Clark Productions, now owned by PMC, which also owns Deadline. The company’s involvement ensures the ceremony’s signature blend of glamour and efficiency, and it’s no coincidence that the event is often seen as a bellwether for the rest of awards season. With the Oscars, Guild Awards, Grammys, and Tonys all on the horizon, the Globes set the tone for months of speculation, celebration, and sometimes controversy.
The venue—the iconic Beverly Hilton—has been home to the Golden Globes for decades, and its red carpet is legendary. According to HOLA!, the carpet is already rolled out, ready for the arrival of Hollywood’s elite. Fans can expect wall-to-wall coverage on social media, with outlets like HOLA! providing live updates, interviews, and behind-the-scenes glimpses as the night unfolds.
For viewers at home, tuning in is easier than ever. The ceremony will air live on CBS, and Paramount+ subscribers can stream it as it happens. Premium subscribers will have access to their local CBS affiliate’s live broadcast, while Essential-tier subscribers can catch the show on demand the next day. With such broad accessibility, the Globes are poised to reach one of their largest audiences yet.
Golden Week’s introduction is a significant development. By building anticipation with Golden Eve and a series of glamorous industry bashes, organizers hope to cement the Globes’ reputation as the kickoff to Hollywood’s most exciting season. Golden Eve, in particular, will shine a spotlight on lifetime achievement, honoring the recipients of the Cecil B. DeMille and Carol Burnett Awards—two of the industry’s most respected honors.
As the big night approaches, speculation is mounting over which films and shows will take home the coveted statuettes. Will One Battle After Another dominate, or could an underdog like Hamnet or It Was Just an Accident pull off a surprise? In television, will The White Lotus continue its winning streak, or might Only Murders in the Building or Severance steal the spotlight? With a lineup of presenters that includes everyone from George Clooney to Snoop Dogg, and with Nikki Glaser at the helm, anything could happen.
One thing’s certain: the 83rd Golden Globe Awards promise an unforgettable evening of celebration, recognition, and showbiz spectacle. Whether you’re a die-hard awards season follower or just tuning in for the red carpet glamour, Sunday night’s ceremony is not to be missed.
