How to Watch the Golden Globes 2024: Date, Time and Streaming

The Golden Globe 2024 Awards ceremony will be a grand event scheduled for Sunday, January 7, 2023, from 8 to 11 p.m. ET (5-8 p.m. PT). It will be broadcast live on CBS as part of a new deal between the Golden Globes and the network, and will also be available to stream on Paramount+ and the CBS app since Paramount Global is CBS' parent company.

The Golden Globes is returning to CBS after a long while, after ending its longstanding relationship with NBC last year. It is working hard to rebuild its credibility under new leadership after widely publicized scandals. It boycotts over allegations of racism and ethical lapses within the Hollywood Foreign Press Association that organized the award show, determining its nominees and winners.

The organization was disbanded following multiple issues, and the Golden Globes 2024 were sold to Dick Clark Productions, which is now the owner and producer of the Award show. Determination of nominations and winners is done by a voting body comprising 300 members from 75 countries.


The best of Hollywood will attend the gala, so make sure to tune in for the most-awaited award show, Golden Globe 2024, on CBS or Paramount.
