This year’s ceremony, hosted by Nikki Glaser, could bring some clarity to a muddled best picture race.

It’s January, almost all of the presumed contenders for the best picture Oscar have been widely released, and yet one has not emerged to lead the pack like Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” did last year. Could the Golden Globes, taking place Sunday, Jan. 5, on CBS, bring some clarity?
There’s “Anora,” Sean Baker’s Cinderella story; “The Brutalist,” Brady Corbet’s postwar immigrant epic; “Conclave,” Edward Berger’s much-memed drama about catty cardinals; and finally Jacques Audiard’s narco musical “Emilia Pérez,” which leads the Golden Globes film nominees with 10 overall.
Here’s how to watch the Globes — and what to watch for.
What time does the show start, and where can I watch?
The ceremony begins at 8 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific, at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif. CBS is the official television broadcaster.
Online, you can watch live on the CBS app, though you’ll need the credentials from your cable provider to sign in. The show will also stream on Paramount+, but only subscribers who have the premium Paramount+ with Showtime plan will be able to watch live. For those who do not, the ceremony can be streamed beginning Monday on Paramount+.
Some good news: Paramount+ offers seven-day free trials for new subscribers. Just remember to cancel your subscription before the end of the week to avoid being charged.
A number of live TV streaming services also offer access to CBS, including Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV and FuboTV, all of which require subscriptions, though many are offering free trials.
