The ceremony is set to recognize the best in film and television, with the red carpet arrivals stirring excitement among fans and fashion enthusiasts alike.
The Golden Globes ceremony will be broadcast live at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS and will be preceded by the vibrant red carpet show starting at 6:30 p.m. ET/PT.

Host Nikki Glaser, known for her sharp humor, has prepared extensively for the occasion, saying, "I’m feeling, like, so ready. I can’t wait to perform. The nerves aren’t there yet."
