There was at time in television history, where if you didn’t catch a particular show live, you outright missed out. Because the time slot, was the time slot, and you were at the mercy of the news to follow-up on what might have happened regarding your favorite shows or award show, and that too… only hit during certain times of the day. But thankfully, that has steadily become less of an issue. Because the advent of home video allowed for people to tape the show in question and watch it later and now, with streaming in front of us… we can watch what we want when we want, and we can see it live on the go. 
 
Because streaming is everywhere with us. The only downside to it, is that sometimes… it isn’t clear what one needs to do to watch a live event on their favorite streamer. Since there are tiers, we all subscribe to now, and not every streamer takes the time to clarify what will air on what tier. But thankfully, Paramount+ is making strides in such matters, since they recently let everyone know how best to watch the 82nd Annual Golden Globes® on Paramount+ with SHOWTIME. Because not everyone is aware and well, we are here to help share that news so that you can enjoy the Golden Globes as you see fit, and live if you so wish. 
 
So, if you have a Paramount+ with Showtime account you will be able to watch the Golden Globes, live. For it will pair with the live feed of your local CBS affiliate, allowing for you to enjoy this important awards ceremony from wherever you feel comfortable watching. But, if you are a Paramount+ Essentials subscriber, do bear in mind that you will not be able to watch it live. But there will be access to a special, on-demand broadcast of the ceremony the day after it airs, and this is only valid in the United States. So, there you have it, Paramount+ has made it clear how best to enjoy the Golden Globes live this year.
​
However, if you’re not a Paramount+ subscriber at all, and have cut the cord and do want to watch and see who wins, well… Paramount+ is offering a seven-day free trial, inviting new audiences to try the service along with tuning in for this year’s Golden Globes. The Paramount+ with SHOWTIME Plan* currently costs $12.99/month or $119.99/year. The Paramount+ Essential Plan currently costs $7.99/month or $59.99/year. So there, is another option for you as well, and in the end, it is just wonderful that Paramount+ took the time to offer up this handy information. So, that is everyone is in the know and can properly enjoy the ceremony and the jokes that host Nikki Glaser will send our way when the 82nd Golden Globes air live on CBS and Paramount+ with Showtime on Sunday, January 5, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
