After a muted ceremony in 2022, the 80th annual Golden Globes is tonight (10 January) expected to make a star-studded comeback.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which organises the event, opted for a last minute decision to hold the ceremony as a "private event" last year after facing heavy criticism over its lack of black members.

In the best directing category, no female directors were nominated, with industry heavyweights James Cameron, Martin McDonagh and Steven Spielberg all receiving nods, as did Tony Kushner, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, and Baz Luhrmann.

Taylor Swift will take on fellow pop megastars Rihanna and Lady Gaga in the category for best original song, each having received a nomination for ‘Carolina’, ‘Lift Me Up’, and ‘Hold My Hand’, respectively.

Actor and comedian Eddie Murphy will receive the renowned Cecil B.

Five-time Golden Globe Award winner and 16-time nominee Ryan Murphy will also receive the Carol Burnett Award, which honours excellence in television.

How can I watch the Golden Globes from the UK?

The award ceremony will be returning to TV screens this year, and the 80th annual Golden Globes ceremony will be televised live on NBC and the streaming site Peacock. In the UK, Peacock is available on Sky and Now TV.

Due to the time difference between the US and the UK, the ceremony will be starting at 1am UK time in the early hours of Wednesday (11 January) morning.
