Ready to critique red carpet looks from the comfort of your couch? Us too. Most red carpet coverage will kick off about two hours before the show, though many stars usually don’t trickle in that early.

We’ll have our eyes on “Entertainment Tonight” and Variety’s digital red carpet preshow, which will air live on Variety.com, CBS and Paramount+ beginning at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT.

We’ll also be watching E!’s coverage, which will be hosted by “Access Hollywood’s” Zuri Hall and comedian Heather McMahan. “Live From E!: Golden Globes” starts at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT.

The group behind the Globes introduced a new category last year: cinematic and box office achievement. It’s a field that allows voters to recognize movies that have “garnered extensive global audience support” (read: ticket sales); last year, the prize went to “Barbie.”

Eight hit movies are in the running this year: “Alien: Romulus,” “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” “Deadpool & Wolverine,” “Gladiator II,” “Inside Out 2,” “Twisters,” “Wicked” and “The Wild Robot.”

“Inside Out 2” and “Deadpool & Wolverine” were the two highest-grossing titles of 2024, each raking in more than $600 million at the domestic box office. But don’t be surprised if the award goes to the third-highest-grossing release: “Wicked.”

Zendaya served themed red carpet looks while promoting her tennis-centric film “Challengers” last spring. Her style inspired many fans to hop on the "tenniscore" trend, giving rise to attire inspired by the sport. (Read more in our full story here.)

She is nominated for her role as Tashi Duncan, a tennis player-turned-coach, in the Luca Guadagnino-directed film, which also stars Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor.

Will she bring back that “tenniscore” — a tennis-inspired aesthetic — tonight? We’ll see.

After it swept the 2024 Emmy Awards with six wins out of 11 nominations, Netflix’s hit series “Baby Reindeer” is entering 2025 with three Golden Globe nominations, including best performance nods for Richard Gadd and Jessica Gunning.

Despite its overwhelming popularity among audiences, the show was embroiled in legal controversy after Fiona Harvey — the women who claimed to be the real-life inspiration behind its stalker character, Martha (played by Gunning) — sued Netflix, claiming defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Gadd, the show’s creator, has maintained that its characters were not representations of real people.

Denzel Washington is nominated for his role in “Gladiator II” as Macrinus, a saboteur and opportunist in the Roman Empire epic.

“His grand purpose,” Washington said in a recent interview, “is to take over the world.”

The Globes, unlike the Academy Awards, split the best film prize into two categories: drama and musical/comedy. It’s a model that allows voters to recognize a wider array of film projects, with six entrants in each race.

The editors of Gold Derby, an awards prediction website, say the drama movies with the best odds are “The Brutalist,” an epic saga of the postwar immigrant experience, and “Conclave,” a thriller about the top-secret battle for the papacy. The other drama nominees are “A Complete Unknown,” “Dune: Part Two,” “Nickel Boys” and “September 5.”

In the musical/comedy category, Gold Derby editors say the odds favor “Anora,” a madcap portrait of a Brooklyn sex worker, and “Wicked,” an adaptation of the popular Broadway musical. The other contenders are “Challengers,” “Emilia Pérez,” “A Real Pain” and “The Substance.”

“Conclave” and “Wicked” were released by units of NBCUniversal, the parent company of NBC News.

Bob Dylan has nothing but praise for Timothée Chalamet, who is nominated for his portrayal of the famed singer-songwriter in the upcoming film “A Complete Unknown” about Dylan’s life.

Dylan took to X to share his excitement for the biopic and his faith in Chalamet’s taking on the role.

Globes voters also recognize achievement in TV. In the drama series race, Gold Derby gives the best odds to “Shōgun,” a saga set in feudal Japan. (The acclaimed series won the equivalent prize at the most recent Emmys.) The other nominees in the drama series category are “The Day of the Jackal,” “The Diplomat,” “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” “Slow Horses” and “Squid Game.”

In the comedy series field, “Hacks” appears to have momentum after claiming the equivalent trophy at the most recent Emmys. The other contenders in the category are “Abbott Elementary,” “The Bear,” “The Gentlemen,” “Nobody Wants This” and “Only Murders in the Building.”

It isn’t so rare for an actor to end up with multiple nominations at the Golden Globes in a single year. After all, the ceremony has 14 acting categories across TV and film. No surprise, either, that the list of past double nominees is an illustrious group. It includes: Meryl Streep, Jamie Foxx and Audrey Hepburn, among many others.

This year, there are three double nominees: Selena Gomez (best actress in a TV comedy for “Only Murders in the Building” and supporting actress in a film for “Emilia Perez”), Sebastian Stan (best actor in a film drama for “The Apprentice” and film comedy for “A Different Man”) and Globes stalwart Kate Winslet (best actress in a film drama for “Lee” and best actress in a limited series, anthology series or TV movie for “The Regime.”)

This is the third time Winslet has been up for multiple Globes in one year, and it could bode well for her chances to take home another statuette. The last time she was a double nominee, in 2012, she won for her title role in the HBO limited series “Mildred Pierce” but lost in the best actress, comedy/musical film, category. In 2009, she won both categories in which she was nominated: best actress in a drama film for “Revolutionary Road” and best supporting actress in a film for “The Reader.”
