The Golden Globes nominations will take place on Monday. Here’s what to look for

Expect a star-studded field of actors when nominations for the 82nd Golden Globes are announced Monday morning.

Zendaya (“Challengers”), Timothée Chalamet (“A Complete Unknown”), Daniel Craig (“Queer”), Denzel Washington (“Gladiator II), Ariana Grande (“Wicked”) and Selena Gomez (“Emilia Perez”) are all standing. good chance of hearing their names read. The Globes, still in comeback mode after years of scandals and organizational upheaval, could surely use that star power to help stabilize the awards.

Nominations will be announced Monday by Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut beginning at 8:15 a.m. EST on the CBS News website, CBS YouTube channel and CBS News mobile app. At 8:30 a.m. EST, 10 categories will be revealed during “CBS Mornings” on CBS.

The Globes themselves will take place on Sunday, January 4, with comedian Nikki Glaser as host. CBS, which began broadcasting the Globes last year under a new deal, is hoping Glaser can do better than last year’s host, Jo Koy, whose stint was widely criticized.

Here’s what to look for in Monday’s nominations:

How big will “Wicked” be?

Jon M. Chu’s “Wicked” arrives with hundreds of millions of dollars in box office momentum. Although last year’s awards season was dominated by “Oppenheimer” and featured “Barbie,” this year “Wicked” appears to be the more populist contender. Expect nominations for Grande and Cynthia Erivo.

Will Trump’s film ‘The Apprentice’ be nominated?

It will be interesting to see if “The Apprentice,” starring Sebastian Stan as a young Donald Trump, earns any nominations. The film failed to win over audiences (and the president-elect), but praise was widespread, both for Stan’s performance and Jeremy Strong’s turn as Roy Cohn.

Is there a favorite?

Since the Globes split the top awards between drama and musical/comedy, there isn’t always a clear read on the main Oscar contenders. This is especially true this year, where no film has emerged as a favorite yet. Included in the mix are “Conclave,” “Anora,” “Emilia Perez,” “The Brutalist,” and “Wicked.”

What’s new this year?

Last year, the Globes introduced two new categories that remain this time: the award for cinematic and box office achievement and best performance in a stand-up comedy on television. This time, an adjustment concerns lifetime achievement awards. This year, it will be Ted Danson (for the Carol Burnett Prize) and Viola Davis (for the Cecil B. DeMille Prize). These will be distributed at a gala dinner on Friday, January 3, several days before the Globes.

And the TV categories?

Expect a slew of nominations for “The Bear” and “Only Murders in the Building.” (Gomez could be nominated twice, for “Only Murders” and “Emilia Perez.”) Other series that could see strong performances include “Shogun,” “Slow Horses,” “Hacks” and “Baby Reindeer.”

What’s the deal with the Golden Globes anyway?

The Globes are never entirely drama-free, but things have stabilized for the struggling awards body. Last year’s Globes were the first after the Hollywood Foreign Press Association dissolved and was acquired by Dick Clark Productions and billionaire Todd Boehly’s private equity firm, Eldridge Industries. However, earlier this fall, the Ankler Daily reported that former HFPA members filed a letter with the California attorney general’s office questioning “the validity of the purchase.”
