The highly anticipated 81st Golden Globes is set to kick off the 2024 award season this Sunday. The star-studded ceremony, which celebrates outstanding achievements in American movies and TV shows, will be broadcast live from the prestigious Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, California. Viewers can tune in to CBS at 8 p.m. EST to catch all the glitz and glamour, immediately following an NFL doubleheader.

This year, the spotlight is on two standout films from 2023 - “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” - as they lead the pack with multiple nominations. “Barbie” received a staggering nine nominations, including Best Picture and nods for its talented stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. Meanwhile, “Oppenheimer” closely trails with eight nominations, with notable recognition for actors Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., and Emily Blunt.

The domination of “Barbie” doesn't end there, as the film's original song "What Was I Made For?" by the talented Billie Eilish and "I'm Just Ken" from the movie are both up for Best Original Song, solidifying their dominance in that category as well.

The excitement doesn't stop at the nominees, as the star-studded list of presenters promises to bring even more glitz and glamour to the event. A-listers such as Will Ferrell, Matt Damon, Dua Lipa, and Angela Bassett are just a few of the notable names set to grace the stage.

However, all eyes will be on the host, Jo Koy, who is making history as the second-ever Asian Globes host. Koy, a renowned comedian known for his multiple stand-up specials on Comedy Central and Netflix, expressed his gratitude and excitement for the opportunity to host the Golden Globes. He shared with AP News that hosting the ceremony fulfills a lifelong dream, saying, "As a kid and watching TV and not having that many role models to kind of indirectly inspire me, that's what this means to me."

For those eager to catch the Golden Globes 2024, mark your calendars for Sunday, January [date]. The show will be broadcast live on CBS at 8 p.m. EST and can also be streamed on Paramount+ and the CBS app. The ceremony is expected to run for approximately three hours, giving viewers an unforgettable night of entertainment and celebration.

As the countdown to the 81st Golden Globes begins, anticipation is high for a night filled with memorable moments, heartfelt speeches, and well-deserved recognition for the best in American film and television. With “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” leading the way, all eyes are on the winners and the impact they will have on the rest of the award season.
