golden globe awards
Actress, producer and EGOT winner Viola Davis is the Golden Globes’ 2025 Cecil B. DeMille Award honoree. She will be recognized on the 82nd annual Golden Globes telecast, which is set to air live from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills on CBS on Sunday, Jan. 5.
In addition, Davis — along with the yet-to-be-named 2025 Carol Burnett Award winner, honoring television achievements — will be feted at a separate gala dinner on Friday, Jan. 3, also at the Beverly Hilton. This marks the first time that the Golden Globes will host a special evening dedicated to the recipients of these two honorary awards. The DeMille Award dates to 1952; the Burnett Award originated in 2019.
The DeMille Award has been bestowed on 69 honorees, including DeMille himself and such acting peers of Davis’ as Jodie Foster, Meryl Streep and Jane Fonda. Davis will become the sixth Black performer to receive the award, following Sidney Poitier (1982), Morgan Freeman (2012), Denzel Washington (2016), Oprah Winfrey (2018) and Eddie Murphy (2023).

“Viola Davis is a luminary whose profound talent has continuously shifted the lens through which we see and understand film,” Helen Hoehne, president of the Golden Globes, said in a statement. “Presenting her with the 2025 Cecil B. DeMille Award is not only an honor but a reflection of our admiration for her relentless dedication to her craft and her monumental impact on the industry. Viola’s courage in portraying complex, powerful characters has broken barriers and paved new paths, making her an emblem of excellence and an ideal recipient of this prestigious award.”
Davis became an EGOT in 2023 when she won a Grammy for best audiobook, narration and storytelling recording for her audiobook Finding Me. She has also won an Oscar for Fences, a Primetime Emmy for How to Get Away With Murder and two Tonys for King Hedley II and Fences.
In addition, Davis won a Golden Globe for Fences, in which she appeared opposite fellow DeMille Award winner Washington.
The Golden Globe Awards, which likes to call itself “Hollywood’s Party of the Year,” is the first major awards show of the season. It’s also the world’s largest awards show to celebrate the best of both film and television.
Nikki Glaser is set to host the show for the first time. Glaser was nominated for her first Primetime Emmy this year for outstanding variety special (pre-recorded) as executive producer and performer on the HBO special Someday You’ll Die. She is currently nominated for her first Grammy Award for best comedy album for that same title.
Multi-Emmy Award-winning producing duo Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner of White Cherry Entertainment will return as executive producing showrunners for the 82nd Golden Globes. Dick Clark Productions will produce the show. Nominations will be announced on Monday, Dec. 9.
The Golden Globes will air on Sunday, Jan. 5, 2025 (8-11 p.m. ET/5-8 p.m. PT) on CBS, and stream on Paramount+ in the U.S. (live and on-demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on-demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the special airs).

The 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards will air live on CBS on Sunday, Jan. 5, 2025. This inaugurates a five-year deal to broadcast the long-running awards show on CBS.
Nominations for the 2025 Golden Globe Awards will be announced on Monday, Dec. 9, 2024.
The Globes aired on NBC for all but two years from 1996 to 2023. The show wasn’t televised in 2008 due to a WGA strike or in 2022 amid widely reported ethical and membership issues within the organization. The Globes moved to CBS earlier this year with a well-received and highly rated show that amounted to something Hollywood knows well — a comeback story.
CBS’ broadcast of the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, Jan. 7 averaged 10 million viewers (Nielsen Live+7-Day national ratings), up nearly +50% from last year, its largest audience since 2020. The telecast, hosted by Jo Koy, was also the third-largest live-streamed CBS special event on Paramount+ ever in terms of average minute audience and reach.

Stand-up comedian, actor and author Jo Koy will host the 2024 Golden Globe Awards, airing live on CBS and streaming on Paramount+ on Sunday, Jan. 7 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. Koy will host the three-hour broadcast for the first time. Comedian Jerrod Carmichael hosted the show last year, when it aired on NBC and streamed on Peacock.
“We are thrilled to have Jo host the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards and bring his infectious energy and relatable humor to kick off Hollywood’s award season,” Helen Hoehne, Golden Globes president said in a statement. “We can’t wait to see what he has in store for the stars in the room and a global audience.”
“Jo’s genuine brand of comedy is sure to entertain our honorees in the room at the Beverly Hilton and viewers at home,” said executive producing showrunners Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner. “We are excited to work with him to make this year’s show laugh-out-loud from beginning to end.”
“I’ve stepped onto a lot of stages around the world in my career, but this one is going to be extra special,” said Koy. “I’m so excited to be hosting the Golden Globes this year. This is that moment where I get to make my Filipino family proud.”
Koy’s recent Funny Is Funny World Tour was a hit. Previously, he released five highly-rated stand-up specials on Comedy Central and Netflix, including his most recent Netflix special, Live From The Los Angeles Forum.
Koy starred in the Universal Picture film Easter Sunday, based on his own experiences and stand-up comedy. He has also appeared in Disney’s Haunted Mansion and voiced the character Bendo in Netflix’s animated film Monkey King. He’ll next be voicing the character of The Monkey King in the animated feature film, Tiger’s Apprentice premiering on Paramount+ Feb. 2. Koy released his first autobiography, Mixed Plate: Chronicles of an All-American Combo, in 2021 with Harper Collins Publishers.
The Golden Globes is the largest award show in the world to celebrate the best of both film and television. This year’s show boasts two newly-added awards – best stand-up comedian on television and cinematic and box office achievement.
Weiss and Kirshner of White Cherry Entertainment (WCE) will serve as executive-producing showrunners for the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards, with Weiss also set to direct. Barry Adelman and Helen Hoehne are also executive producers. Dick Clark Productions will plan, host and produce the Golden Globe Awards.
Dick Clark Productions (DCP) and Eldridge have acquired all the Golden Globes’ assets, rights and properties from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA). The transaction will result in the wind-down of the HFPA and its membership. The proceeds from the transaction, plus the existing resources of the HFPA, will transition into a newly-formed Golden Globe Foundation that will continue the HFPA’s legacy of entertainment-related charitable giving.
As part of the transaction, DCP and its partners will plan, host and produce the annual Golden Globe Awards show and pursue commercial opportunities for the Golden Globes across the globe. The 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards is set to take place on Sunday, Jan. 7, 2024.
“We are excited to close on this much anticipated, member-approved transaction and transition from a member-led organization to a commercial enterprise,” said former HFPA president Helen Hoehne.
“Today marks a significant milestone in the evolution of the Golden Globes,” Eldgridge chairman Todd Boehly said in a statement. “My partners at DCP and I are grateful to Helen and team for their commitment to the successful implementation of a robust approach to governance, the expansion of the diverse and international voting body, implementing a professional, safe, and accountable environment, and trusting new ownership with a new direction for the Globes.”
“As stewards of the Golden Globe Awards, our mission is to continue creating the most dynamic awards ceremony on live television viewed across the world,” Jay Penske, CEO/chairman/founder of Penske Media and CEO of DCP, said in a statement. “We have a great team in place to grow this iconic brand and captivate new and existing audiences to celebrate the very best in television and motion pictures.”
The Golden Globe Awards will be controlled by DCP, the world’s largest producer and proprietor of televised live event entertainment programming.
A premier entertainment award since 1944, the annual Golden Globes honors achievements in both television and film. Over the last three decades, licensing fees from the ceremony have enabled donations of more than $55 million to entertainment-related charities including scholarship programs, film restoration projects and humanitarian efforts. This funding has also supported diverse programs in partnership with advocacy groups aimed at promoting greater access in Hollywood for underserved communities.
Penske Media Corporation, Billboard‘s parent company, is a part-owner of dick clark productions and has a partnership with Eldridge.

A$AP Rocky and Rihanna are back outside. The couple made a surprise appearance at the 2023 Golden Globe Awards.
As per Buzz Feed News the star duo walked in unexpectedly to the ceremony. They walked in as Jennifer Coolidge presented the award for Best Supporting Actor in a TV series so their entrance left everyone in attendance in awe. As expected the rapper and songstress were dressed to the nines. RiRi wore a dramatic black gown by Schiaparelli Couture and complimented the dress with a white gold and diamond necklace and matching earrings. Pretty Flaco kept it formal with a double breasted black suit and his signature braids were freshly done.
While Rihanna did take home the award for “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever she still owned the room. So much so host Jerrod Carmichael made sure jokingly ask about her very delayed follow up album R8. “You know what? Honestly, only because I see Rihanna is here, and I’m gonna say… I’m gonna say something very controversial that… I will actually get in trouble for this: Rihanna, you take all the time you want on that album, girl. Don’t let these fools on the internet pressure you into nothing!”
You can see their interaction below.

Zendaya won her third major award for her portrayal of drug-addicted teen Rue in the gritty drama Euphoria at Tuesday night’s (Jan. 10) 2023 Golden Globe Awards. But, after previously taking home two primetime Emmys for the role, the 26-year-old star was not in the house in Los Angeles to accept her best performance by an actress in a drama television series at last night’s rebooted event, but she did send her fans a heartfelt acceptance note.
“I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to be there tonight, but I just wanted to say thank you to @goldenglobes for this incredible honor. To my fellow nominees, it is a privilege to be named beside you, I admire you all deeply,” she wrote in an Instagram post alongside a moody black and white pic in which she appeared to be dancing in her room.
She thanked her whole Euphoria family, saying without them “none of this is possible. Lastly, thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has allowed Rue into theirs. I think everyone knows how much she means to me, but the fact that she can mean something to someone else is a gift. I’m honestly at a loss for words as I type this, all I can say is thank you thank you thank you.”
Z’s first Golden Globe for the show she stars in and executive produces came in a very tight race in which she was up against a number of veteran stars, including Laura Linney (Ozark), Hilary Swank (Alaska Daily) and Imelda Staunton (The Crown); Emma D’Arcy (House of the Dragon) was also nominated in that category.
Check out Zendaya’s post below.
