Glen Powell and Timothée Chalamet lookalikes hit the Golden Globes red carpet

There were two Glen Powells on this year’s Globes guest list – one who’s nominated for “Hit Man” and one who actually stars as Maxwell in his everyday life. Max Braunstein won the Glen Powell Lookalike Contest in Austin and joined Miles Mitchell, aka the winner of New York’s Timothée Chalamet Lookalike Contest, in the middle of the red carpet. Both men waved signs that read, “I won a look-alike contest and am now at the Golden Globes.” Their handler said the contest winners’ participation was courtesy of CBS, the network that aired the awards show.

“Wicked” star Ariana Grande rocks a new hair look at the Golden Globes

The biggest blockbuster hit this Oscar season is “Wicked,” which has grossed $443.8 million in the U.S. so far since November — good enough to be the No. 3 film of 2024. We’ll have to wait and see if it’s a Best Picture Oscar nomination looming, but “Wicked” has a good chance of beating “Anora” in the Best Comedy/Musical category, while Ariana Grande is the top choice for supporting actress. You can find more of our predictions here.

Grande hit the Globes red carpet with a new hair color, a light brown dye compared to her blonde Glinda locks, and was seen hugging Miley Cyrus while chatting with Sarah Paulson.

“Emilia Pérez” could make Golden Globes history on Sunday

Netflix’s “Emilia Pérez” is nominated for 10 Globes, but the most notable is for best actress in a comedy/musical. Karla Sofía Gascón has already made history as the first trans actress to be nominated in a film category and would mark another milestone if she won. (Fun fact: In 2022, “Pose” star Michaela Jaé Rodriguez became the first trans woman to win a Globe.)

Gascón is also expected to become the first trans woman to receive an Oscar nomination for best actress, a possibility she spoke about to USA TODAY in November: “That would be absolutely wonderful and a real source of pride.”

Meet Nikki Glaser, the host of the 2025 Golden Globes

If you enjoyed the Netflix roast of Tom Brady, then you might already be a fan of comedian Nikki Glaser, the host of this Sunday’s Golden Globes ceremony. She also skewered Alec Baldwin and Rob Lowe, but Glaser achieved a new level of viral fame by brutally mocking Brady, an NFL legend, over his divorce from Gisele Bündchen. “The Golden Globes are not only a big night for television and film, but also for comedy,” Glaser said in a statement.

She couldn’t be worse than last year’s host Jo Koy, who notoriously bombed his opening monologue at the Globes. Glaser joins a long list of golden hosts including Ricky Gervais, Jerrod Carmichael, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers and the dynamic duo of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

When do the Golden Globes 2025 start?

The show airs live on CBS (8 p.m. ET/5 PT), as well as on the CBS app and Paramount+. However, there’s a catch: Anyone with a Paramount+ subscription that includes Showtime can watch the Globes live, while subscribers with the cheaper Paramount+ Essential plan will have to wait until Monday. (It’s worth spending the extra five bucks a month: you get live globes — woo-hoo! — plus no commercials, and Showtime series like “The Agency,” “Yellowjackets” and “Dexter: Original Sin.” clever set from the 1990s prequel to the original “Dexter”.)
