It’s the night when TV and movie’s biggest and brightest stars gather under one roof — and the 2018 Golden Globes are set to have a A-list group of celebrities presenting the awards on Sunday, December 7.
The Hollywood Foreign Press has announced the award show’s final presenters: Jessica Chastain, Garrett Hedlund, Mariah Carey and Keith Urban.
Carey and Urban aren’t the only singers presenting; Kelly Clarkson is also set to hand out an award and joked on Twitter about it, writing, “Finally my work for From Justin To Kelly is being recognized.”
As previously reported, Brad Pitt‘s exes Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie are also among Sunday night’s presenters. They have not been spotted at the same event since the Critics’ Choice Awards in 2015.
The Time’s Up movement has encouraged actresses to wear black at the awards ceremony to show solidarity with victims of sexual harassment and assault in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein sex scandal.
The 2018 Golden Globes, hosted by Seth Meyers, and will air live on NBC from the Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, California, on Sunday, January 7 at 8 p.m. ET and 5 p.m. PT.

Other topics discussed on the red carpet and from the stage inside the Beverly Hilton’s International Ballroom may include racism (several films up for awards, including “Get Out,” wrestle with that subject) and President Trump and his policies. “The Post,” Steven Spielberg’s newspaper drama, functions as a condemnation of the Trump administration’s attacks on journalists. It has six Globe nominations, including one for Meryl Streep, who criticized Mr. Trump from the Globe stage last year.
If anything, this year’s Globes will serve as a test for the more erudite Oscars, which are scheduled for March 4. Can Hollywood castigate itself and celebrate itself at the same time? And deliver a telecast and red carpet extravaganza that keep the ratings from tumbling?
NBC and the givers of the Globes, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a group of 89 journalists, have been trying to assure viewers that the night will be as frothy as ever. NBC ran a star-studded Globes anniversary special in December — essentially a prime-time infomercial — and ceremony organizers have promised plentiful booze (125 cases of Moët & Chandon Champagne) and flowers (“vibrantly-colored red and orange roses displayed in glittering, diamond-wrapped gold containers”).
It could all add up to a moment when the Golden Globes finally grows up, becoming an event with equal parts solemnness and spectacle.
Or not. Even at 75, the Globes could just as easily add to its history of bungled moments, as when Jimmy Fallon froze as host at the start of last year’s ceremony; prizes were awarded to Renée Zellweger (2001) and Christine Lahti (1998) while they were in the bathroom; and the press association gave its 1982 new star of the year trophy to … Pia Zadora.
Here are five things to watch for during this year’s ceremony, which will be hosted for the first time by the late-night entertainer Seth Meyers.
Harvey Weinstein is on many minds.

“It’s nice to have an elephant in the room,” Mr. Meyers told The New York Times about the topic of sexual harassment in Hollywood. “There’s nothing more helpful than something everybody’s thinking about.”

Something and someone: Mr. Weinstein, who has been accused of misconduct by dozens of women — prompting police investigations, lawsuits and the collapse of his former studio — was a major figure at the Globes for decades. He was seen as a master manipulator of voters. He always sat at a prime table during the ceremony. His post-Globes parties, recently hosted with Netflix, were often the splashiest.
Will Mr. Meyers call out Mr. Weinstein by name in his monologue?
Oh, right. The awards.

The annual Oscar race, which starts with festival screenings in late summer, has been unusually chaotic this time around. For various reasons — Hollywood’s attention has been elsewhere, the plethora of strong choices in some categories and few in others — consensus has yet to form. So the Globes could bring some clarity.
One nail-biter is best drama. “The Post” could easily win. But so could “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” about a mother (Frances McDormand) who goes to extremes to keep local police focused on her daughter’s murder. And don’t count out “The Shape of Water,” an allegory about a mute janitor who falls in love with an imprisoned sea creature.
Gold Derby, an awards blog, has supporting actor as another tossup category. Running hot are Willem Dafoe from “The Florida Project,” about indigent families living in a motel, and Christopher Plummer, who replaced Mr. Spacey at the last minute in “All the Money in the World.” Sam Rockwell (“Three Billboards”) is seen as not far behind.
A lift before the Oscars.

In truth, the Globes are often predictive of little. Top honors at the Oscars and the Globes only matched up once over the past three years. (Both agreed on “Moonlight” last year.) But the globular trophies are coveted by studios, which cozy up to the press association in hopes of receiving a box office-boosting blast of attention for winter movies.
A win by Timothée Chalamet, a best actor nominee, might help Sony Pictures Classics sell tickets for the gay romance “Call Me by Your Name,” for instance. That poetic film has taken in just $4.9 million at North American cinemas since its release in November. “Call Me by Your Name” has also hit some turbulence on the awards circuit. It was not nominated for the top Screen Actors Guild prize, for instance.
The similarly tiny “I, Tonya” might get a boost if Allison Janney takes the best supporting actress trophy. “The Post,” “All the Money in the World” and “Phantom Thread” are hoping for similar bumps.
It’s Oprah’s turn.

Oprah Winfrey is set to receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement, an honor that went to Ms. Streep last year — and ended up as a flash point in the Trump-era culture wars. During her acceptance speech, Ms. Streep went after Mr. Trump, targeting his skills as a showman and branding them as insidious. Mr. Trump fired back, calling Ms. Streep “one of the most overrated actresses in Hollywood.”

Will Ms. Winfrey deliver a political zinger of her own? If she does go on the attack, it will probably be against the entertainment industry: She has been involved in recent months with the creation of an ambitious anti-harassment action plan called Time’s Up.
Television has big stars, too.

While the press association’s movie awards receive the most attention because of their proximity to the Oscars race, the Globes ceremony relies on television categories for much of its star power. Making trips to the stage on Sunday could be Nicole Kidman, nominated for best actress in a limited series or made-for-TV movie (the now-continuing “Big Little Lies”); Sterling K. Brown, a best actor nominee for “This Is Us”; and Eric McCormack (“Will & Grace”), a favorite for best actor in a comedy.
Globe voters also love to support comedies that have debuted only recently. (See: “Transparent,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.”) Benefiting from that tastemaker desire this time around could be “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” an Amazon series about a woman who becomes a stand-up comedian in the 1950s. It could win best comedy. At the same time, best actress in a comedy could easily go to Frankie Shaw, the star of the new Showtime series “SMILF,” about a working-class single mother in Boston.

In their push to highlight the problems of sexual harassment and gender inequality, eight actresses at Sunday night’s Golden Globes ceremony are extending their political statements to their plus-ones.
Laura Dern, Amy Poehler, Susan Sarandon, Meryl Streep, Emma Stone, Emma Watson, Michelle Williams and Shailene Woodley say that on the red carpet, they will each be accompanied by activists in a range of fields. The move is part of a widening effort by prominent Hollywood women, who formed the umbrella group Time’s Up, to extend the focus on sexual harassment to women marginalized because of class, sexuality, ethnicity or race.
The initiative’s efforts range from the establishment of a legal fund to fight sexual harassment to symbolic statements like wearing black on the red carpet and now inviting activists to the Globes.
In a joint statement, the eight activists said they hoped that by attending the Golden Globes, they would redirect attention from abusers to survivors and lasting solutions.

“We believe we are nearing a tipping point in transforming the culture of violence in the countries where we live and work,” the women said. “It’s a moment to transform both the written and unwritten rules that devalue the lives and experiences of women.”
