The Golden Globe Awards are set to take place on Sunday night, featuring nominations highlighted by Zendaya for her role in the sports drama "Challengers" and Timothée Chalamet for the Bob Dylan biopic "A Complete Unknown." The ceremony will be held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, starting at 01:00 GMT on Monday, highlighting the beginning of the film awards season leading up to the Oscars on March 2.

Among the notable nominees, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande both secure nods for their performances in "Wicked," while Kate Winslet showcases her talents with two nominations. A nod for Selena Gomez also distinguishes her for "Emilia Pérez" and her hit series "Only Murders in the Building." The evening promises a less formal vibe than the Oscars, allowing attendees to enjoy themselves while mingling after the festive season.

The top contender for this year’s awards is "Emilia Pérez," a largely Spanish-language musical about a cartel leader seeking a life change, walking away with ten nominations. Other major films in contention include "The Brutalist," "Conclave," and "Anora." The voting body of the Globes has undergone significant changes in recent years to ensure a more diverse representation, following previous controversies surrounding ethical practices.

Hosting the ceremony will be comedian Nikki Glaser, who expressed excitement over continuing the tradition of humorously roasting A-list celebrities in attendance. Fans can catch the live broadcast in the US on CBS, with streaming options available through Paramount+, while viewers in the UK can tune in for highlights on social media.

As the awards show approaches, anticipation builds around collaborative achievements in film, with a mix of Hollywood stars and emerging talents poised to add a unique flair to the evening.
