Lights, camera, action! The Golden Globes are back, ready to dazzle us with their annual celebration of the glitz and glamour of the film and television industry. It's that time of the year when Hollywood's A-listers dust off their finest gowns and tuxedos, and the red carpet comes alive with flashes of cameras and swirls of excitement. So, grab your popcorn and get ready for a night of star-studded fun.
Now, let's get down to business. The 81st annual Golden Globes will take place on January 7th, starting at 8 p.m. Eastern time. If you're on the East Coast or West Coast, you can tune in to CBS to catch the live broadcast. Don't worry, even though '60 Minutes' fans might be temporarily disappointed, the show will return on January 14th. The Golden Globes are making a grand return to CBS after a hiatus of several decades.
But what if you're not near a TV? Fear not, my friends, for we live in the age of streaming. If you have a subscription to Paramount+, fearlessly dive into the world of live streaming and enjoy the Golden Globes in real-time. You can also catch the show the next day on Paramount+, in case Sunday night becomes a Netflix binge night. If you have Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, or FuboTV, you're in luck! These live TV streaming services include CBS in their lineup, so you won't miss a single glitzy moment.
Of course, the red carpet is an event in itself. The anticipation, the fashion, the dazzling jewelry – it's a feast for the eyes. To get your fashion fix, tune in to Variety and 'Entertainment Tonight's' official red carpet pre-show, which will stream on their respective websites and the Golden Globes' website. Coverage starts at 6:30 p.m. Eastern, just in time to witness the parade of stunning gowns and dapper suits. However, for all you E! fashion aficionados out there, brace yourselves for a change. E! is not planning a red carpet show from the Golden Globes this year. Instead, they'll be airing films like 'The Proposal' and 'Sweet Home Alabama.' So, if you're in the mood for a rom-com marathon, E! has got you covered.
Now, let's talk about the stars who will be in the spotlight on this glamorous night. This year, the top nominee is 'Barbie,' stealing the limelight with its charm and grace. 'Oppenheimer' is also vying for the top spot, showcasing the incredible diversity and talent in the film industry. Other contenders in the best motion picture drama category include 'Killers of the Flower Moon,' 'Maestro,' 'Past Lives,' 'Anatomy of a Fall,' and 'The Zone of Interest.' When it comes to the best motion picture musical or comedy, 'Barbie' is joined by 'Air,' 'American Fiction,' 'The Holdovers,' 'May December,' and 'Poor Things.' On the television front, 'Succession' is leading the pack with nine nominations, featuring stellar performances from Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, and Kieran Culkin. Hulu's 'The Bear' is also making waves.

Watch the livestream, starting at 8:15 p.m. Eastern, as the winners step into the media room to share their thoughts and insights. Who knows what juicy tidbits we might uncover? Last year, we were treated to Michelle Yeoh's wisdom, Quinta Brunson's infectious energy, Steven Spielberg's genius, and even Austin Butler's lingering 'Elvis' voice. The backstage interviews add an extra layer of excitement and give the winners a chance to expand on their on-stage moments.
So, whether you're a film fanatic, a television connoisseur, or just someone who loves a good dose of glamour, the Golden Globes are the perfect event for you. Tune in, stream it live, or catch up later – the choice is yours. Get ready to witness unforgettable moments, heartfelt speeches, and perhaps even a surprise or two.
