The excitement is building as the 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards approach, and all eyes are set on the prestigious ceremony taking place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.
This year's Golden Globes are not just about Hollywood heavyweights, as India also has a chance to make its mark, thanks to 'All We Imagine As Light', a film directed by Payal Kapadia that has earned two significant nominations.
The ceremony, airing live on January 5, 2025 (US time), promises a star-studded evening, with comedian Nikki Glaser taking the stage as the first-ever woman to host the Golden Globes solo.

The night will honour the best in film and television, with Netflix leading the nominations across both mediums.
Here are a few things to look for heading into Sunday's Globes:
All eyes on Payal Kapadia
The awards ceremony, however, holds special significance for India, with 'All We Imagine As Light' securing nominations in the Best Director category for Kapadia and Best Motion Picture in a Non-English Language.
Kapadia, who has already captured the attention of international audiences with her thought-provoking storytelling, faces tough competition in the Best Director category. She will compete with notable filmmakers such as Jacques Audiard (Emilia Perez), Sean Baker (Anora), and Edward Berger (Conclave).
In the Best Motion Picture - Non-English Language category, 'All We Imagine As Light' will battle against other acclaimed films like 'Emilia Perez', 'The Girl with the Needle', 'I'm Still Here', and 'The Seed of the Sacred Fig'.
Will Timothee Chalamet win his first Globe?
The best actor in a drama category is a bruiser, with a field of Ralph Fiennes ("Conclave"), Adrien Brody ("The Brutalist"), Daniel Craig ("Queer"), Colman Domingo ("Sing Sing"), Sebastian Stan ("The Apprentice") and Chalamet, for the Bob Dylan film "A Complete Unknown." While Fiennes or Brody might take it, a win for Chalamet would be the first major award for the 29-year-old star - and surely would get the Oscar talk going.

How soon until someone mentions Hollywood's biggest feud?
Just days before the Globes, Blake Lively sued "It Ends With Us" director Justin Baldoni and several others tied to the romantic drama, alleging harassment and a coordinated campaign to attack her reputation for coming forward about her treatment on the set. Baldoni, who has denied it, joined in a suit accusing The New York Times for libel in its story on her allegations.
Whether or not any of this gets mentioned on the Beverly Hilton Ballroom stage, it will surely be on the minds of many attendees. Among the nominees for box-office achievement is "Deadpool & Wolverine," which star and was co-produced by Ryan Reynolds, Lively's husband. Glaser, whose sharply barbed jokes at a roast of Tom Brady helped catapult her to this moment, isn't known for biting her tongue.
How will 'Wicked' fare?
"Emilia Perez" may have be favoured over "Wicked" for the best comedy or musical award, but Jon M. Chu's theatrical hit is also in the mix for the Globes' nascent cinematic box office achievement award. Either, or both, of the leading ladies of "Wicked" could also win: Erivo in the leading actress category, and Grande in supporting.
Is there an Oscar frontrunner?
It's been an unusually uncertain awards season so far in many respects. No one movie has really stepped forward as the leading best picture contender, though several films - including "Conclave," "Anora," "Wicked," "Emilia Perez" and "The Brutalist" - can all make a decent case. The Globes don't typically do much to sort out the field, but a strong showing from any of the above could add fuel to their Oscar campaign.
The 82nd Golden Globe Awards will be broadcast live on CBS and streamed on Paramount+ at 5 PM PT/8 PM ET on January 5, as per Deadline. For audiences in India, the ceremony will be available for live streaming on Lionsgate Play on January 6, starting at 6:30 AM IST.
This year's Golden Globe Awards will feature a glittering list of presenters, including global stars like Andrew Garfield, Anya Taylor-Joy, Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot, Jeff Goldblum, Jennifer Coolidge, Michelle Yeoh, Seth Rogen, Viola Davis, and many more.
The evening promises to be an unforgettable spectacle as these A-list celebrities come together to honour the best in film and television.
