The Golden Globes are Sunday night. Here’s five things to look for

The Golden Globes appear to have stabilized following a turbulent few years and the dissolution of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Can they still put on a good show? That is the question now.

Starting Sunday at 8 p.m. EST, the 82nd Golden Globes will attempt to bring back some of the frothy comic energy of the times when Amy Poehler and Tina Fey or Ricky Gervais hosted. Although Jo Koy’s comeback edition last year received a lot of criticism, Nielsen reports that its ratings increased to roughly 10 million viewers. CBS agreed to a five-year extension.

This time, comedian Nikki Glaser will be emceeing the ceremony from the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. The Globes, now owned by Todd Boehly’s Eldridge Industries and Dick Clark Productions, will be broadcast live by CBS and available to stream live for subscribers to Paramount+ with Showtime beginning at 8 p.m. Eastern.

While Glaser doesn’t have as widely seen contenders as last year, when “Oppenheimer” and “Barbie” were the headliners, the show does promise about as much star power as Hollywood can muster. Nominees including Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet, Angelina Jolie, Daniel Craig, Denzel Washington, Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo and Selena Gomez.

Jacques Audiard’s Netflix musical “Emilia Pérez” comes in as the lead nominee, with 10 nods, followed by Brady Corbet’s postwar epic “The Brutalist,” with seven, and Edward Berger’s papal thriller “Conclave,” with six. Among the top-nominated series are “The Bear,” “Shogun” and “Only Murders in the Building.”
