Announced by actors Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut live from LA, it’s the first big milestone of awards season, and the first signpost to which films we’ll be hearing lots more about ahead of next year’s Oscars.
Unlike other awards, the Globes cover both TV and film and are split by genre, falling into either the drama or comedy and musical category – meaning a wealth of nominees are in the running.
Last year’s nominations were led by Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, the latter of which went on to win best picture at the Oscars.
Now in comeback mode, the Globes had previously faced criticism over a lack of diversity in the organisation, which led to the event being held behind closed doors in 2022.
Golden Globes winners will be announced on Sunday 5 January, with the ceremony hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser.
