Comedian Nikki Glaser was announced as the host of the 2025 Golden Globes in August.

“The Golden Globes is not only a huge night for TV and film, but also for comedy. It’s one of the few times that show business not only allows, but encourages itself to be lovingly mocked (at least I hope so). It’s an exciting, yet challenging gig because it’s live, unpredictable, and in front of Hollywood’s biggest stars (who also might be getting wasted while seated next to their recent exes),” she added.

Who is receiving honorary awards at the 2025 Golden Globes?
The Golden Globes will honor Ted Danson, a 13-time nominee and three-time winner, with the 2025 Carol Burnett Award. Established at the 76th Golden Globe Awards in 2019, this award recognizes television professionals whose work has profoundly impacted the industry and audiences. Previous recipients include Ellen DeGeneres, Norman Lear and “Feud: Capote vs. The Swans” cocreator Ryan Murphy.
Danson is best known for his role as Sam Malone, a bartender in NBC’s sitcom “Cheers,” which aired from 1982 to 1993. He won two Golden Globes for this role.
“Ted Danson has entertained audiences for decades with his iconic performances that will forever be ingrained in television history,” said Helen Hoehne, president of the Golden Globes, in a statement.
“His renowned career is a testament to his remarkable talent and versatility as an actor and bears resemblance to the award’s legendary namesake. It is an honor to present him with the 2025 Carol Burnett Award to celebrate the tremendous impact he has made and continues to make in television,” Hoehne continued.
Viola Davis will receive the coveted Cecil B. DeMille Award, which recognizes “outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment.” The EGOT winner has been nominated for seven Golden Globes, scoring her first win for 2016’s “Fences.” The film adaptation of August Wilson’s play costarred Denzel Washington, also a former Cecil B. DeMille Award winner.
First created in 1952 in honor of director Cecil B. DeMille, the namesake award has previously been presented to Walt Disney, Sidney Poitier, Barbra Streisand and Oprah Winfrey.
“Viola Davis is a luminary whose profound talent has continuously shifted the lens through which we see and understand film,” stated Hoehne. “Presenting her with the 2025 Cecil B. DeMille Award is not only an honor but a reflection of our admiration for her relentless dedication to her craft and her monumental impact on the industry. Viola’s courage in portraying complex, powerful characters has broken barriers and paved new paths, making her an emblem of excellence and an ideal recipient of this prestigious award.”
