2025 Golden Globes Presenters: Check Out the Full List

Elton John and Brandi Carlile, who are among the co-writers of the Oscar-shortlisted song “Never Too Late” from Elton John: Never Too Late, are among the presenters for the 2025 Golden Globes, which is set to air live on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on Sunday, Jan. 5 at 5 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. ET.

“Never Too Late” wasn’t nominated for a Globe, but being booked as presenters on the Globes could help the song’s chances in the Oscar balloting. Oscar nominations will be announced on Jan. 17.

The Golden Globes have a long and colorful history, and a reputation as “Hollywood’s Party of the Year,” but an undeniable part of its appeal is its place on the awards calendar. This year’s Globes will air less than three days before nominations-round voting begins for the Oscars (on Wednesday Jan. 8 at 9 am PT). Nominations-round voting for this year’s Oscars ends on Sunday, Jan. 12 at 5 p.m. PT.

Ariana DeBose, who has hosted the last three Tony Awards telecasts, is also set to present on the Globes, as are Viola Davis, who is set to receive the Globes’ Cecil B. DeMille Award; actress Kate Hudson, who last year released her first album, Glorious; Auliʻi Cravalho, who voiced the title character in the Disney animated film Moana and its 2024 sequel; and actress Margaret Qualley, a Globe nominee for best supporting actress – motion picture for The Substance (and wife of top producer Jack Antonoff).

The show will be hosted by Nikki Glaser, who is the first woman to solo host the Globes. It will be held in its usual home, the Grand Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.

Glaser is nominated for a Globe for best performance in stand-up comedy on television for her HBO/Max special Nikki Glaser: Someday You’ll Die. Glaser was nominated for a Primetime Emmy for outstanding variety special (pre-recorded) for her work on that special and is a current Grammy nominee for best comedy album, also for that special.
