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.

Is there a red carpet?

Variety and Entertainment Tonight will stream red carpet arrivals beginning at 6:30 p.m. Eastern, 3:30 p.m. Pacific, on their websites and social media platforms as part of the official Globes preshow. You can also watch on the Golden Globes website. (Penske Media Corp. owns both the Golden Globes and Variety, among other brands.)

Who is hosting?

The comedian and actress Nikki Glaser will be the ceremony’s first solo female host. Things are pretty much guaranteed to go better than last year, when the comedian Jo Koy was tapped as the night’s host just 10 days before the event and bombed.

Who is presenting?

The lineup of actors, comedians and musicians who will hand out awards includes Nicolas Cage, Colman Domingo, Andrew Garfield, Demi Moore, Anya Taylor-Joy, Brandi Carlile, Elton John and Nate Bargatze.

Who votes on the awards?

With the Hollywood Foreign Press Association dissolved after several scandals, an expanded group of more than 300 entertainment journalists from 85 countries is now responsible for selecting nominees and winners. The voting body is not only much larger than the approximately 80-person, overwhelmingly white H.F.P.A. was, it is also more diverse.

What’s new this year?

The Globes’ two lifetime achievement honors, the Cecil B. DeMille and Carol Burnett awards, which honor contributions to entertainment and television, won’t be handed out live at the main ceremony. The honorees, the actors Viola Davis and Ted Danson, will be recognized at a separate gala dinner on Friday evening, with prerecorded highlights to be shown on the Globes telecast.

Who is nominated?

“Emilia Pérez” is leading the pack among films, with 10 nominations, followed by “The Brutalist” (seven), “Conclave” (six) and “Anora” (five).

On the TV side, Season 3 of FX’s restaurant dramedy “The Bear” is out in front with five nominations. It’s followed by the Hulu mystery comedy “Only Murders in the Building” and FX’s “Shogun,” each of which picked up four nominations.

If you’re just here for the outfits, good news: Fashion-forward stars like Colman Domingo (“Sing Sing”), Timothée Chalamet (“A Complete Unknown”), Angelina Jolie (“Maria”), Zendaya (“Challengers”), and the “Wicked” co-stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are likely to be on hand.

What should you watch for?

Karla Sofía Gascón, a star of “Emilia Pérez,” could become the first transgender actress to win a Globe for a film performance. (She would be the second transgender actress winner after Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, who took home a prize for the TV drama “Pose” in 2022.)
