Dua Lipa, Jon Batiste, Jared Leto, Andra Day, Amanda Seyfried and Hailee Steinfeld are among the music stars (several of whom have also established strong acting careers) who are set to present at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards, which will air live on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on Sunday, Jan. 7 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

The Golden Globes traditionally don’t have performances of best original song nominees, but Lipa is nominated in that category for co-writing “Dance the Night” from Barbie.

Other presenters include comedy stars George Lopez and Will Ferrell and media queen Oprah Winfrey. Winfrey was the 2018 recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Globes. That award, as well as the Carol Burnett Award, which is its TV equivalent, will not be presented this year.

Jo Koy is set to host the show. Here are five things you may not know about the comedian.

On the film side, Barbie is this year’s leading Golden Globes nominee with nine nods, followed by Oppenheimer (eight), Killers of the Flower Moon and Poor Things (seven each), Past Lives (five), and Anatomy of a Fall, Maestro and May December (four each).

On the TV side, Succession is the leading nominee with nine nods, followed by The Bear and Only Murders in the Building (five each) and The Crown (four).

The Golden Globes will unveil two new categories this year. Barbie, last year’s biggest box office hit and one of its most widely admired, is expected to win the award for cinematic and box office achievement. The other nominees are Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, John Wick: Chapter 4, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Oppenheimer, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.

The other new award is best performance in stand-up comedy. The nominees are Ricky Gervais for Ricky Gervais: Armageddon, Trevor Noah for Trevor Noah: Where Was I, Chris Rock for Chris Rock: Selective Outrage, Amy Schumer for Amy Schumer: Emergency Contact, Sarah Silverman for Sarah Silverman: Someone You Love and Wanda Sykes for Wanda Sykes: I’m an Entertainer.

Emmy-winning producing duo Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner of White Cherry Entertainment will serve as executive-producing showrunners of the 2024 Golden Globes, with Weiss also set to direct. Produced and owned by Dick Clark Productions, the Golden Globe Awards is one of the few awards ceremonies to include both motion picture and television achievements.

Yeoh and Bassett both won Golden Globes last year. Yeoh won best performance in a motion picture – musical or comedy for Everything Everywhere All at Once. Bassett won best supporting performance in a motion picture for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

Yeoh went on to make Oscar history, becoming the first Asian winner for best actress and the second woman of color, after Halle Berry, to win in that category. Bassett did not go on to win the Oscar for best supporting actress, but she is set to receive a Governors Award from the Motion Picture Academy on Jan. 9.

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour quickly became the top-grossing concert film of all time, so why does its nomination for the Globes’ new cinematic and box-office achievement award come as a surprise? One of their rules seemingly disallowed it – though another rule overrode that first rule. We’ll explain.

The rules state: “a. Documentaries are not eligible for any of the motion picture award categories, including the Best Motion Picture categories, and the acting, directing, screenplay, song, and score categories. b. Productions of stage plays, operas, concerts, and other live events recorded on a theatrical stage or other similar venue (i.e., not adapted for production as a motion picture or television program) are considered documentaries of the play, opera, concert, or other live event and are not eligible.”

So how was it deemed eligible?

A Globes spokesperson correctly notes that “Cinematic and Box Office Achievement is separate from the overall motion picture category guidelines as described in the award rules.”

Those rules further state: “Cinematic and Box Office Achievement contenders can also be considered for Best Motion Picture in their respective categories, i.e., Drama, Comedy or Musical, Animated or Non-English Language, if they meet the eligibility requirements for each of those awards.”

The Globes spokesman acknowledges that Swift’s film does not meet the eligibility requirements for other awards, such as best motion picture – musical or comedy. “Those rules specifically prohibit concert films and documentaries as per rule 3a and 3b, Hence, Taylor Swift’s Eras film does qualify for CBOA [cinematic and box office achievement] under our rules but does not qualify for the other best motion picture categories.

Half of this year’s inaugural nominees for cinematic and box-office achievement are nominated in other categories; half are not. Barbie, Oppenheimer, Spider-Man: Across the Spider Verse 3 and The Super Mario Bros. Movie are. Swift’s film, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, John Wick: Chapter 4 and Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning Pt. 1 are not.

We now know that that Swift’s film wasn’t eligible in other categories. These other three simply didn’t garner enough voter support.

The Globes have long been in Swift’s corner. She has received three Globe nominations for best original song – for “Safe & Sound” from The Hunger Games, “Beautiful Ghosts” from Cats and “Carolina” from Where the Crawdads Sing. The fact that they nominated a song from Cats, which was a boxoffice flop, shows that Globe voters are long-time Swifties.
