(NEWSnet/AP) — Golden Globe Awards are back. The 81st Globes begin at 8 p.m. EST Sunday.

The event returns after being disbanded after years of scandal. Jo Koy is host.

CBS will air the ceremony live. The show also is available live via the Showtime plan on Paramount+, and Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV and FuboTV.

The official pre-show is hosted by “Entertainment Tonight” and Variety beginning at 6:30 Eastern. Red-carpet coverage streams on Golden Globes site; ETOnline.com; Variety’s website and social platforms; and other Penske Media publications.

Among expected attendees is Taylor Swift, whose “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” is nominated for the “cinematic and box-office achievement” award.

“Barbie,” the biggest movie of 2023 with more than $1.4 billion in ticket sales, is the top nominee, with nine, including best comedy or musical, best director for Gerwig, best actress for Margot Robbie, best supporting actor for Ryan Gosling, and three original song nominations.

“Oppenheimer” got eight nominations, including for best drama, best director for Nolan, best actor for Cillian Murphy and supporting nods for Robert Downey Jr. and Emily Blunt.

For TV, HBO’s “Succession” leads with nine nominations. “The Bear” and “Only Murders in the Building” follow with five apiece.

A few years ago, Golden Globes were on the cusp of collapse. After Los Angeles Times reported that Hollywood Foreign Press Association had no Black members, Hollywood boycotted the organization. The 2022 Globes were removed from TV. After reforms, the Globes returned in 2023. Golden Globes were acquired by Eldridge Industries and Dick Clark Productions and changed to a for-profit venture.
