Priyanka Chopra joins Julia Roberts and Lisa as presenters for the 83rd Golden Globes.

Priyanka Chopra’s presence at Golden Globes

Is the traditional awards show dying, or is it simply becoming a global variety hour? As the 83rd Annual Golden Globes prepare to take over the airwaves this Sunday, the ceremony is leaning heavily on a presenter list that reads like a “Who’s Who” of the 21st-century zeitgeist.

From the timeless gravitas of George Clooney to the K-pop superstardom of BLACKPINK’s Lisa, the message is clear: the Globes aren’t just about trophies; they are about the spectacle of the spotlight.

A Masterclass in Casting

The lineup, unveiled via the Globes’ official X account, is a masterclass in demographic targeting.

By bringing together a diverse array of talent, the producers are ensuring that no corner of the internet goes unreached.

• The Legends: Julia Roberts and George Clooney provide the essential “A-List” validation that has defined the Globes for decades.
• The Global Bridge: Priyanka Chopra Jonas returns to the stage, reinforcing her status as one of the few actors to successfully navigate the high-stakes worlds of both Hollywood and Indian cinema.
• The Gen Z Magnet: The inclusion of Lalisa Manobal (Lisa) and Charli XCX ensures a massive digital footprint, likely breaking engagement records before the first envelope is even opened.

The Nikki Glaser Era

The presenters will join host Nikki Glaser, whose sharp, roast-style comedy is expected to provide a needed edge to the proceedings.

With a roster including Kevin Hart, Jason Bateman, and Judd Apatow, the 2026 ceremony seems designed to lean into the “party” atmosphere that the Golden Globes were originally famous for.

Unlike the more somber Oscars, the Globes thrive on unscripted chemistry and the occasional viral gaffe.

The Strategic Presence of Priyanka Chopra

While Chopra’s appearance as a presenter is a celebration of her current standing, it also serves as a high-profile countdown to her upcoming cinematic milestones. The “Chopra Effect” is a calculated move toward her 2027 release, Varanasi.

Directed by the visionary SS Rajamouli and co-starring Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran, Varanasi is already being touted as a global event film.

Her appearance at the Globes keeps her face front-and-center in the Western consciousness while her massive Indian fanbase gears up for her Prime Video lead in The Bluff. For Chopra, the Globes are a strategic platform for narrative building.

Advice for the Viewer

In an era of highlight reels, watching the full broadcast requires a different lens:

1. Watch the Pairings, Not the Names. The real magic of the Globes often happens in the chemistry between the two people at the podium. A pairing like Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick or Ayo Edebiri and Chris Pine can often produce the night’s most authentic moments.
2. The “Lalisa” Factor. For the first time, a K-pop idol’s presence at the podium may overshadow some of the actual winners. Expect the “Lisa” tag to trend globally, regardless of who wins Best Motion Picture.
3. The Sankranti 2027 Long-Game. Pay attention to any mentions of Indian cinema. With the Rajamouli collaboration on the horizon, the Golden Globes are increasingly looking toward the East for their next wave of “Prestige” content.

How to Watch

The ceremony, produced by Dick Clark Productions, will air live on Sunday at 5:00pm PT/8:00pm ET on CBS and stream on Paramount+.

For the international audience, specifically in India, the broadcast kicks off at 6:30am IST on Monday, marking a breakfast-time celebration of Hollywood’s biggest night.
