The Globes play a crucial role in the awards season, occurring just before the Oscar nominations are announced on January 22.

With more awards presented than many other ceremonies, the Globes split categories by drama and musical or comedy. This year, notable acting nominees include Timothée Chalamet, Emma Stone, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jessie Buckley, and Michael B. Jordan.
