Golden Globes And Darts: Key Dates For 2025 Events

Hollywood prepares for the Golden Globes as darts tournaments gear up for action across Europe.

The much-anticipated 2025 Golden Globes is set to take place on January 5 at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles, marking another year of celebrating excellence in film and television. This year, the ceremony promises to be particularly exciting, with Nikki Glaser at the helm as the host. After last year's tumultuous hosting, where comedian Jo Koy left many viewers divided, Glaser’s appointment has sparked renewed interest among fans eager to see how she brings her comedic flair to Hollywood's annual night of glitz and glamour.

"I am absolutely thrilled to be hosting the Golden Globes," said Glaser, capturing her eagerness and enthusiasm for this high-profile event. A comedian known for her wit and charisma, Glaser aims to follow the legacy of legendary hosts such as Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who have often delivered memorable moments during the ceremony. With an anticipation of intoxicated celebrities, Glaser expressed hope to revive the fun atmosphere back to the awards show. "It’s one of my favorite nights of television and now I get a front-row seat," she added.

The ceremony will be broadcast live from 8 p.m. EST on both CBS and Paramount+, with viewers encouraged to tune in early for the official live digital pre-show hosted by Entertainment Tonight’s Rachel Smith and Variety’s Marc Malkin starting at 6:30 p.m. ET. This year’s nominees include the highly-acclaimed film "Emilia Pérez," which leads the pack with ten nominations, and popular series such as "The Bear" and "Only Murders in the Building," showing just how competitive this awards season has become.

Across the awards spectrum, the Golden Globes will also honor two distinguished talents—Viola Davis and Ted Danson—each receiving lifetime achievement awards named after other Hollywood greats. The excitement doesn’t stop there; attendees will include major stars such as Jennifer Coolidge, Dwayne Johnson, and Salma Hayek Pinault, promising star power on stage.
