BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.  — The Golden Globes return Sunday. The boozy, bubbly kickoff to Hollywood’s awards season will feature nominees including Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael B. Jordan, Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo and Emma Stone.

The 83rd Golden Globe Awards ceremony begins at 8 p.m. Eastern (7 p.m. Central) at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California and will be televised live on CBS and streamed live on Paramount+.

Here are more key things to know about the ceremony:

Who’s hosting the Golden Globes?

The comedian and actor Nikki Glaser will return as host for the second year after a well-reviewed 2025 debut when she became the first woman to host the show solo.

Glaser didn’t go easy on the Hollywood crowd, but wasn’t nearly as barbed as she was in her star-making performance in a roast of Tom Brady. In her first monologue she called the ceremony “Ozempic’s biggest night.”

When she was rehired, Glaser said in a statement that it was “the most fun I have ever had in my career” and “I can’t wait to do it again, and this time in front of the team from ‘The White Lotus’ who will finally recognize my talent and cast me in Season Four as a Scandinavian Pilates instructor with a shadowy past.”

Last year’s drew an average of about 10 million viewers, holding steady from the year before. There are far fewer viewers then there were a decade ago, but the Globes remain the most watched awards show after the Oscars and the Grammys.

Who’s nominated for Golden Globes 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 categorized 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.”

Male actors nominated for dramas include Jordan for “Sinners” and Dwayne Johnson for “The Smashing Machine.”

Grande, Teyana Taylor, Paul Mescal, Adam Sandler and Jacob Elordi are among those nominated in the supporting categories.

“The White Lotus” led all TV nominees with six.

What are the Golden Globes?

The Globes, held annually in early January, are the first major ceremony of the awards season. They’re not exactly an Oscar bellwether — they have an entirely different voting base of journalists and critics — but they’re embraced as a champagne-soaked party with some of the biggest stars in film and television sitting together at tables like a nightclub.

And a Globes win can still help build momentum for a movie or actor’s Oscar campaign, and it’s the first time the public may hear an acceptance speech that may be repeated with some variations for months, leading up to the Academy Awards, held this year on March 15.

Who’s getting a lifetime achievement award?

Helen Mirren will be honored with the Golden Globes’ Cecil B. DeMille Award for a life of work on screen, and Sarah Jessica Parker will get the Carol Burnett Award for her career in television.

Mirren and Parker this week will get a separate Beverly Hilton gala, a recording of which will air Thursday at 8 p.m. Eastern and Pacific (7 p.m. Central) on CBS and also stream on Paramount+ on what’s being called “Golden Eve.”

Mirren, 80, an Oscar winner for her 2006 portrayal of Elizabeth II in “The Queen,” has also won three Golden Globes and is up for a fourth this year for her role in the series “MobLand.” She was named a Dame of the British Empire in 2003 in acknowledgment of her artistic achievements.

The award dates to 1952, when it was given to the legendary filmmaker DeMille himself. Other recipients include Walt Disney, Bing Crosby, Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Sidney Poitier, Meryl Streep, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Hanks and Viola Davis.

Parker will get the much newer Carol Burnett Award, presented to an honoree who has “made outstanding contributions to television on or off screen.” The 60-year-old Parker, who won six Golden Globes and two Emmys as the star of “Sex and the City,” is being honored for her work as actor and producer.

The award was launched in 2019, when it went to Burnett. Other winners include Norman Lear, Ryan Murphy and Ellen DeGeneres.

In 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in his State of the Union address, outlined a goal of “Four Freedoms” — human rights worthy of defending universally: freedom of speech and expression, the freedom to worship God in one’s own way, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.

In 1974, year-round daylight saving time began in the United States on a trial basis as a fuel-saving measure in response to the OPEC oil embargo. The country, however, returned to standard time in October, effectively ending the experiment.

In 1982, truck driver William G. Bonin was convicted in Los Angeles of 10 of the “Freeway Killer” slayings of young men and boys. (Bonin was later convicted of four other killings; he was executed in 1996.)

In 1994, figure skater Nancy Kerrigan was clubbed on the leg by an assailant at Detroit’s Cobo Arena; four men, including the ex-husband of Kerrigan’s rival, Tonya Harding, went to prison for their roles in the attack. (Harding pleaded guilty to conspiracy to hinder prosecution but denied any advance knowledge about the assault.)

In 2021, supporters of President Donald Trump, fueled by his false claims of a stolen election, assaulted police and stormed into the U.S. Capitol to interrupt the certification of Democrat Joe Biden’s victory, forcing lawmakers into hiding. A Trump supporter, Ashli Babbitt, was shot and killed by police as she tried to breach a barricaded doorway inside the Capitol. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, injured while confronting the rioters, suffered a stroke the next day and died from natural causes. Congress reconvened hours later to finish certifying Biden’s victory. In January 2025 — on the first day of his second term — Trump granted blanket clemency to more than 1,500 people convicted or awaiting trial or sentencing for Jan. 6 offenses.

The Gophers appeared to beat out Iowa and James Madison for the transfer portal commitment of Division II defensive back Parker Knutson on Monday.

The 6-foot-1, 190-pound player from Sartell, Minn., and Southwest Minnesota State has two years of eligibility left for the U.

Knutson racked up eight interceptions and 39 tackles in 11 games in 2025 and totaled five picks and 39 tackles in 11 games in 2024. He played three games as a true freshman for the Mustangs in Marshall.

Knutson’s ball skills jump out as a reason why he is making the jump to the FBS. How he fits in a DI secondary will start to take shape in spring practice.

Knutson is the seventh overall player to pledge to the U this week.

LOS ANGELES – Myriad aspiring entertainers will tell you that Hollywood can be a hard place to find success. That is especially the case for the Wild of late.

For some reason, the home of the Los Angeles Kings continues to be a place where nothing comes easy for the visitors in town from Minnesota.

On Monday the Kings got a pair of goals late in the second period, and held off a comeback effort by the visitors. When the final horn blew, the Kings had posted a 4-2 win, and handed Minnesota its first loss in regulation since before Christmas.

Minnesota has now lost, either in overtime or in regulation, six of its last seven visits to downtown Los Angeles.

Wild goalie Filip Gustavsson did what he could, keeping the home team off the scoreboard for the first 35 minutes of the game while not getting goal support despite a trio of Wild power plays in the first two periods. He finished with 30 saves while Jared Spurgeon and Ryan Hartman scored for the Wild.

Los Angeles finally broke a scoreless deadlock late in the middle period when Warren Foegele sailed a shot through a mess of bodies in front of the Wild net, hitting the top corner of the net over Gustavsson’s right shoulder. Marcus Foligno, who had blocked a shot earlier in the shift, left the game for a time, but returned in the third.

After former Wild standout Kevin Fiala fought off a challenge from Minnesota defender Matt Kiersted to make it 2-0, Spurgeon made it a one-goal game with a long-range shot through traffic in the third.

But the momentum was fleeting, as Andrei Kuzmenko had a pretty weave to the net, tucking the puck past Gustavsson.

Minnesota got the game’s first power play and came within an inch of taking the lead when a pretty backhander by Joel Eriksson Ek eluded the Kings goalie’s left shoulder but hit the post and sailed out of danger.

The Kings best chance at a first period lead came late in the opening frame, when a defensive miscue left Los Angeles with two players uncovered in front of the Minnesota net. But Gustavsson made the save and steered the puck to the corner, and the game reached the first intermission with nothing on the scoreboard.

Up 3-1 in the third, the Kings briefly appeared to make it 4-1, but after consulting, officials ruled no goal as the puck was kicked in by Los Angeles forward Quinton Byfield. Instead, the Wild got a four-minute power play when former Hill-Murray standout Mikey Anderson caught Marcus Johansson under the visor with a high stick. Johansson left the game bleeding, aided by trainers.

Hartman scored on the power play for the Wild, which had been held off the board on five previous man advantage situations on Monday.

But with Gustavsson on the bench for an extra attacked, Adrian Kempe’s empty net goal sealed the result.

Darcy Kuemper finished with 32 saves for Los Angeles, as Minnesota fell to 3-1-2 on their current road trip.

Los Angeles lost veteran forward Anze Kopitar to a lower body injury in the game. It was a big loss for the Kings, as Kopitar – who will retire at the end of this season – was playing his 71st game versus Minnesota and has been a Wild-killer since entering the NHL in 2006. He has 61 career points versus Minnesota.

The Wild’s marathon seven-game road trip finally reaches the finish line on Thursday night in Seattle when they make their second, and final, visit to the Kraken this season. Minnesota won 4-1 at Climate Pledge Arena in their first meeting, on Dec. 8.
