The Golden Globes celebrate excellence in both film and TV, with categories for cinematic achievements and stand-up comedy performances on TV, introduced last year. Categories like Best Motion Picture and Best Director recognize outstanding work in different genres.
The 82nd annual Golden Globe Awards will air live on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on January 5, 2025. The ceremony will be hosted by Nikki Glaser, with Viola Davis and Ted Danson receiving prestigious awards for their contributions to TV.
