Adding to the excitement, the Golden Globes have officially unveiled a high-profile presenters’ lineup, featuring an eclectic blend of Hollywood legends, global music icons, and crossover stars — including Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who will take the stage as a presenter at this year’s ceremony.

The announcement of Priyanka Chopra Jonas as one of the presenters has generated strong buzz, underscoring her continued influence as a global entertainment figure bridging Indian cinema and Hollywood.

She will share the spotlight with celebrated actors George Clooney and Julia Roberts, while pop culture favourites such as Miley Cyrus, Orlando Bloom, Pamela Anderson, Melissa McCarthy, Snoop Dogg, and Queen Latifah are also set to appear on stage.
In a nod to the growing global footprint of the Golden Globes, BLACKPINK’s Lisa will bring K-pop star power to the ceremony, reflecting the awards’ evolving international appeal and recognition of music’s cross-cultural impact.
The presenters’ roster signals the Golden Globes’ intention to blend cinematic legacy with contemporary global influence, appealing to audiences far beyond Hollywood.
