The Golden Globes are back! Branded as Hollywood’s booziest event, dozens of famous faces are descending on The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.
But ahead of the 83rd annual event, it’s been a disappointing box office year as Warner Bros waits to discover their fate, as well as the ongoing unrest in American politics. Aside from this, host Nikki Glaser has vowed to try and help people put the political situation to the back of their minds throughout the night, while she also plans to take aim at the mega-famous stars in attendance.
She said: “We’re going to hit Leo, the icebergs are coming!” This year, the likes of Timothée Chalamet will be going up against Leonardo DiCaprio, while Wicked legend Cynthia Erivo is also up for nomination.
The Mirror will be bringing you live updates throughout the night as celebs arrive at the awards, as well as throughout the ceremony.
Celeb stylist issues warning
Ahead of tonight’s event, a celebrity stylist has issued a warning. Sarah Nearis has warned the Mirror to expect political statements to be front and centre.
Sarah told the Mirror ahead of the bash: “I think over the years we’ve been seeing a lot of the naked trend, which always draws a lot of attention, but we have definitely been drawing away from that. I feel like that is a safe go-to for anyone who wants a lot of eyes on them.
“In heightened times, especially now, some may use the red carpet to make a political statement, which of course can be a hit or miss. But, I believe wearing your heart on your sleeve is a beautiful thing.” She went on to say such events allow fashion and style to be a way for celebs to make an impression without having to speak and called them a “perfect platform”.
Who is nominated this year?
Oscar front-runner One Battle After Another leads all nominees with nine, including acting nods for DiCaprio and Chase Infiniti and a directing nomination for Paul Thomas Anderson. The Globes divides films between drama and musical or comedy in the top categories, and One Battle was categorised as a comedy. Competing against DiCaprio will be Chalamet for Marty Supreme and George Clooney for Jay Kelly.
Infiniti’s competition includes Erivo for Wicked: For Good, Stone for Bugonia and Rose Byrne for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. The Danish film Sentimental Value was second with eight nominations, including an acting nod for star Renate Reinsve. Her competition on the drama side includes Jessie Buckley from Hamnet, Julia Roberts for After the Hunt and Jennifer Lawrence for Die My Love.
How might the top acting awards go?
After an audacious promotional tour for Marty Supreme, Timothée Chalamet is poised to win his first Globe in five nominations. In best actor, comedy or musical, he’ll have to beat DiCaprio, a three-time Globe winner, and Ethan Hawke (Blue Moon).
In best actress, comedy or musical, Rose Byrne is the favourite for her performance in the not especially funny A24 indie If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. One prominent nominee in the category, Cynthia Erivo (Wicked: For Good), won’t be attending due to her schedule in the West End production of Dracula.
Jessie Buckley (Hamnet) is the clear frontrunner in Best Actress, Drama. In the star-studded best actor, drama category, the Brazilian actor Wagner Moura (The Secret Agent) may win over Michael B. Jordan (Sinners) and Joel Edgerton (Train Dreams). In the supporting categories, Teyana Taylor and Stellan Skarsgård are the favourites.
