The Golden Globes get the ball rolling on awards season in the New Year, and often have a lot in common with the results of later ceremonies including the BAFTAs and the Oscars. No announcement has been made on who’s hosting the prizegiving on Sunday, January 6 – but we’ll very shortly know who’s been nominated. So when is this year’s shortlist being unveiled?
The Golden Globes nominations are due to be unveiled this Thursday, December 6.
For those in the US, it’s an early start: in fact, on the Pacific coast, it’ll be 5am. Over on the East Coast, in New York, it’ll be 8am.
Here in the UK the news will be released at 1pm.
The nominees will be streamed live on the Golden Globes’ official Facebook page. Of course you can then see the list in all its glory here on Express.co.uk.
Terry Crews, Leslie Mann, Danai Gurira, Christian Slater and Golden Globe Ambassador Isan Elba are in charge of the unveiling.
So who’s getting all the buzz? As ever, it’ll be the acting categories that generate the most attention in the movies field.
Strong frontrunners this time around are thought to include Glenn Close for The Wife, Olivia Colman for The Favourite and Lady Gaga for A Star Is Born.
Melissa McCarthy and Richard E Grant for Can You Ever Forgive Me are also starting to find real traction.
Remember that the movies at the Golden Globes are split into “drama” and “musical or comedy”, which means the likes of Emily Blunt in Mary Poppins Returns could also sneak a nomination.
As for TV, it’ll be interesting as ever to see whether networks get a look-in – or if 2019 will be even more streaming-dominated than ever before.
The Golden Globes statuettes have had a makeover for 2019; made of different materials and now slightly taller and heavier than before.
The Golden Globes are on Sunday, January 6, 2019.
