Expect a starry field of actors when nominations to the are announced Monday morning.
("Challengers), ("A Complete Unknown"), ("Queer"), ("Gladiator II), ("Wicked") and ("Emilia Perez") all stand a strong chance of hearing their names read. The Globes, which are still after years of scandal and organizational upheaval, could surely use that star power to help stabilize the awards.
The nominations will be announced Monday by Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut beginning at 8:15 a.m. EST on the CBS News website, CBS鈥檚 YouTube channel and the CBS News Mobile App. At 8:30 a.m. EST, 10 categories will be unveiled on 鈥淐BS Mornings鈥� on CBS.
The Globes themselves will be held Sunday, Jan. 4, with hosting. CBS, which on a new deal, will hope Glaser manages to do better than last year鈥檚 emcee, Jo Koy, whose stint was widely panned.
Here鈥檚 what to look for in nominations Monday:
How big will 鈥榃icked鈥� be?
sails in with the momentum of hundreds of millions in box office. Though last year鈥檚 awards season was this year 鈥淲icked鈥� is looking like the most populist contender. Expect nominations for Grande and Cynthia Erivo.
Will the Trump film 鈥楾he Apprentice鈥� be nominated?
It will be interesting to see whether starring Sebastian Stan as a young Donald Trump, scores any nominations. The film fell flat with audiences (and with the president elect) but acclaim has been widespread for both Stan鈥檚 performance and Jeremy Strong鈥檚 turn as Roy Cohn.
Is there a frontrunner?
Because the Globes split top awards between drama and musical/comedy, there isn鈥檛 always a clear read on the top Oscar contenders. That鈥檚 especially true this year, where no one film has yet emerged as the favorite. In the mix are and 鈥淲icked.鈥�
What鈥檚 new this year?
Last year, the Globes introduced two new categories that remain this time around: the cinematic and box office achievement award and the best performance in stand-up comedy on television. One tweak this time comes in the lifetime achievement awards. This year, those are going to (for the Carol Burnett Award) and (for the Cecil B. DeMille Award). Those will be handed out in a gala dinner on Friday, Jan. 3, several days before the Globes.
How about the TV categories?
Expect a boatload of nominations for both 鈥淭he Bear鈥� and 鈥淥nly Murders in the Building.鈥� (Gomez could be a two-time nominee, for both 鈥淥nly Murders鈥� and 鈥淓milia Perez.鈥�) Other series that could see strong showings include 鈥淪hogun,鈥� 鈥淪low Horses,鈥� 鈥淗acks鈥� and 鈥淏aby Reindeer.鈥�
What鈥檚 the deal with the Golden Globes, anyway?
The Globes aren鈥檛 ever quite drama-free, but things have settled down for the embattled awards body. Last year鈥檚 Globes were the first after the disbanding of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and their acquisition by Dick Clark Productions and billionaire Todd Boehly鈥檚 private equity firm Eldridge Industries. However, earlier this fall, the Ankler reported that former members of the HFPA filed a letter with the California Attorney General鈥檚 office questioning 鈥渢he validity of the purchase.鈥�
