Timothée Chalamet has waged a wildly amusing, chaotic and often baffling red carpet campaign for Marty Supreme. So who would expected our champion provocateur of the red carpet to sidestep an opportunity to go full Tango tonight? His black non-tux suit is reliable, dependable and dull. Whither the colour? Whither Kylie!

One person not thrilled about the new best podcast category this year? Hans Zimmer, the legendary film composer, whose category tonight – best original score – has been axed from the telecast.
“It feels a little bit ignorant,” Zimmer told Deadline on the red carpet ahead of the show, which has added on-air categories such as the aforementioned best podcast, best stand-up comedian and the dubious “cinematic or box office achievement” in recent years, while relegating others to in-person only.
“We are the psychological underbelly of the whole thing,” Zimmer added in defense of film composers. “The composer has such an important role in making films by the time we come to the music, the director has been through war. Our first job is to remind him why he did this film in the first place.”

Predicting the Globes is never easy although it has become a little easier in the last few years. The belated update to its questionable group of voters has meant that winners have become less comically leftfield and more critically minded. Less Nocturnal Animals, more The Brutalist.
With that in mind, here’s how I think it might go down tonight with the major film awards:

It’s been a relatively sober night for menswear.
But with wearing a watch now a foregone conclusion, we are well into the era of the dumb accessory. Enter the glasses on the red carpet. Obviously this is fashion and, like watches and jewellery and brooches and funny little bags, sunglasses are a priceless marketing opportunity for any fashion brand. Could it be that there is an anxiety around overdressing in the age of the performative male for which glasses are the perfect foil – or is everyone just really tired?

As my colleague Benjamin Lee mentioned in his film award predictions for the evening, Timotheé Chalamet is the clear favorite to win best actor in a musical or comedy tonight, though it feels spiritually wrong to call Marty Supreme a comedy. The 30-year-old actor has a groundswell of momentum behind him, a year after losing best dramatic actor (for playing Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown) to Adrien Brody (for the Brutalist).
A large part of that momentum has been of his own unconventional making, with a guerrilla, very meta, often very fun marketing campaign that has seen him paint the world Marty Supreme orange – and upend the expectations and possibilities of the movie press tour in the process. It already paid off last week with a Critics Choice Award, and I’d be shocked if it didn’t charm the Golden Globes voting bloc, as well.

The most nominated film of the night is Paul Thomas Anderson’s genre-defying epic One Battle After Another, leading with nine. The Globes haven’t always been team PTA – There Will Be Blood, Magnolia and Phantom Thread scored just two nods a piece – but this one feels perfectly timed to a smarter, fresher group of voters.
It also helps that it’s led by Leonardo DiCaprio, a favourite at the Globes with three wins and another 12 nominations. He’s up for best actor in a musical or comedy tonight and even though he may end up losing to hot favourite Timothée Chalamet, it’s hard to see the film not winning some other major awards, including best picture, director and maybe at least one supporting actor.
Here’s why it was named the Guardian’s best film of 2025:

It’s also set to be a rather big night for Netflix breakout Adolescence, the show everyone was talking about last year. It already scored at the Emmys in September with six wins and tonight it’s been nominated for five awards, including for actors Stephen Graham, Ashley Walters, Erin Doherty and Owen Cooper.
The limited drama series, which the Guardian named the best TV show of 2025, faces competition from Dying for Sex and Black Mirror in the category of best limited series.
Here’s a reminder of why it’s worth the win:

The Dior girlies have arrived. Skewing ever so slightly to type, Frankenstein’s Mia Goth and Die My Love’s Jennifer Lawrence have gone yin and yang with Mia’s black halter neck gown and Jennifer’s sheer (naked?) floral embroidered number with matching curtain-sized shawl so generous it could serve as an arm rest. A lot of shawls and scarves this evening.
Worth noting that the naked dress is making a chilling creep back onto the red carpet (see also Jennifer Lopez) just in time for the Met Gala’s theme, Costume Art, whose connection between the dressed body and art will probably result in a lot of skin …

Will the first season of Apple’s in-joke industry comedy The Studio dominate the comedy awards tonight? After a record-breaking Emmys sweep, it’s looking rather likely with potential wins in the comedy series category as well as for stars Seth Rogen and Catherine O’Hara.
Here’s what makes it such a contender:
