Award season officially starts this Sunday when the Golden Globes are handed out, and I'll be covering it all for Newsweek. Hosted by Nikki Glaser, the 82nd Golden Globe Awards will offer insight into the films to keep an eye out for this awards season, especially as we look towards to the Academy Awards. And considering Glaser's viral performance at the Tom Brady roast last year, expect things to get colorful Sunday night. (Fun fact: Glaser and I graduated high school together. You can listen to our chat about that and more on the Parting Shot podcast.)
Films to keep an eye on include Emilia Pérez and Conclave, who led in nominations. Other big potential winners include Ariana Grande for Wicked, Demi Moore for The Substance, and the race for Best Actress (Drama), which is a battle between Angelina Jolie for Maria and Nicole Kidman for Babygirl. And, of course, the big question is how will the most hyped film of the year, Wicked, fare? (Personally, I predict a lot of Wicked fans are going to be disappointed.)
That's it for me today. I'll see you Monday with a full recap of all the major moments from the Golden Globes.
