  • Story Text: The Golden Globes red carpet was rolled out at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Thursday (January 2) as Hollywood prepares to kick off its 2025 awards festivities.
    Timothee Chalamet, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande and Angelina Jolie are among the stars in the running for acting honors at the ceremony on Sunday (January 5) that will be hosted for the first time by comedian Nikki Glaser.
    Past Globes shows have been more relaxed than the Oscars, the ceremony that bestows the film industry's highest honors in March. Nominees from both movies and television sipped cocktails and champagne during the Globes while hosts such as Ricky Gervais delivered searing jokes about the A-list crowd and Globes voters.
    But Glaser, a stand-up comic known for skewering football legend Tom Brady during a roast on Netflix, said she set some boundaries for herself this year.
    "There's definitely jokes that I wanted to make that I had to cut that just are too critical or too cynical," Glaser said in an interview with Reuters.
    "This is not a roast," she added. "This is a night to celebrate stuff, so I want to set a good tone and I want people who were nominated to feel proud of themselves. I don't want them to feel under attack."
    The show will be broadcast live on CBS and stream on Paramount.
    Winners of the Globes are chosen by 334 entertainment journalists from 85 countries, compared with roughly 9,000 voters who select the Academy Awards. The Globes voting body was expanded in recent years and organizers instituted reforms after being criticized for ethical lapses and a lack of diversity.
