From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it’s investigating the financials of Elon Musk’s pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, ‘The A Word’, which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls.

The stars are out as awards season kicks off with the Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills.

Teyana Taylor and Stellan Skarsgård both won early awards for their work as supporting actors.

Comedian Nikki Glaser had kicked off the show at the Beverly Hilton hotel with jokes about A-listers like Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael B. Jordan, and Jennifer Lawrence.

Known as “Hollywood’s party of the year,” last year’s ceremony delivered plenty of celebratory moments: Demi Moore finally got her flowers, The Bear tore through the television categories, and Glaser made history as the first woman to host the Globes solo.

In the film categories, Paul Thomas Anderson’s Leonardo DiCaprio caper One Battle After Another dominated the nominations, but will have to beat out stiff competition from Chloé Zhao’s take on Hamnet, Josh Safdie’s ping pong movie Marty Supreme and Ryan Coogler’s blood-soaked Sinners.

Meanwhile, Adolescence is the plucky British underdog in the TV categories, looking to repeat Richard Gadd’s Baby Reindeer success from last year.

Follow along below for all the live updates from the ceremony which is underway now.
