It's the most wonderful time of year. And by that, I mean it's awards season! We can't wait to celebrate our favorite movies, TVshows, and musicians (and see their red carpet lookstoo!). The Golden Globe nominations just got announced on December 11 and the competition is going to be *so* close. Unsurprisingly, Barbie has a ton of noms (so many, in fact, that it's the second most-nominated movie in the history of the Golden Globes), while Succession is leading the television nominations. Here's the full list, including everyone who won big during the 81st Golden Globe Awards!

Did you favorite show, movie, or actor get a Golden Globe nomination this year? Who do you think the biggest snub is?

Take our favorite celebrity BFF's, Taylor Swift and Blake Lively, and our favorite celebrity couple, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, and you truly get one big happy family. Earlier this summer, Blake and Ryan showed up to the Eras Tour to support the "Fortnight" singer, and on July 25, Taylor returned the love by making a rare lengthy post to her Instagram story.
Here's everything you need to know about Taylor Swift's relationship with Blake Lively's kids as their godmother.
Taylor Swift/Instagram
Taylor Swift posted a photo to her Instagram story featuring Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and Shawn Levy — all of whom are involved in Deadpool & Wolverine, in theaters July 26!
"Over the past few years I have watched one of my best friends on the planet pour every bit of his heart, soul, sweat, time, energy, jokes, pain, joy, rebellion, darkness, and magic into this film," she says. "He's created the best work of his life, and this film feels like an actual joy portal, a wild escape from reality, and an abs sandwich."
After joking that Ryan, Blake, and Shawn randomly crashed her photo, Taylor continues, saying, "Shout out to Wade Wilson [the character played by Ryan Reynolds], aka my godkids' sperm donor!"

Ryan Reynolds had the funniest reaction, and told Deadline, "I'm going to need that on my gravestone, actually."
"Yeah, that is kind of it. She is the godparent to my daughters," the Deadpool actor continued. "That was very sweet. Not just sweet, that was, like, you could probably quantify a box office based on Taylor just doing something like that."

In the past, Ryan Reynolds has been vocal about how much his kids (James, Inez, Betty, and Olin) love Taylor Swift, and the family's appearance at the Eras Tour even went viral!
"I think what's most exciting for them is that for the longest time they just thought Taylor's just like an aunt, like a friend of Mommy and Daddy that's very, very close, almost family," he says onThe Jess Cagle Show. "And then they went to a concert one day and were like, 'Ohhhhh, this isn't a hobby.'"

With phenomenal television shows like The Last of Us and Only Murders in the Building, and outstanding work both behind the scenes *and* in front of the camera, 2023 might just be one of the toughest Emmyscompetitions yet – but we'll have to wait to see the winners, because the awards ceremony has officially been delayed.
The ongoing SAG-AFTRA writer and actor strikes have already put pressure on upcoming TV show and movie releases, halting almost all productions and promotions. According to Variety, the Emmys are feeling the tension, too. Originally spot for September 18, 2023, the awards show has officially been pushed to January 15, 2024.
Nominations for the Emmys awards dropped around the same time strikes began. Though upsetting, this unpredictable waiting period gives viewers and fans like us the opportunity to get those Emmys predictions set in stone. While there are some serious snubs (how did Elizabeth Olsen not get nominated?!), a lot of our favorites did make the list (Jenna Ortega! Keke Palmer!). Keep reading to see if your go-to show or actor got an Emmys nod.
When are the 2023 Emmys?
The 2023 Emmys won't actually take place in 2023. They've been pushed to Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on January 15, 2024, which is also one week after the Golden Globes. You'll be able to tune in at 8 pm EST/ 5 pm PST.
What is the difference between the Oscars, the Grammys, the Tonys, and the Emmys?
All four shows give out awards to different kinds of performers. The Emmys focus on television, while the Oscars are all about film, the Grammys honor music, and the Tonys focus on theatre.
What is the next award show 2023?
The Venice Film Festival will be the next award ceremony for the entertainment industry, but the next televised awards show will be MTV's VMA Awards on September 12.

If your group chat is blowing up over the Bad Sisters premiere, or you're still reeling from that Outer Banks season 4 ending, never fear: these merry and bright December TV shows are here to save the day!

Our favorite familiar faces are joined by some newcomers, bringing a whole new edge to the show we know and love.

The Sticky — On Prime Video December 6, 2024
Jan Thijs/Prime Video
Despite the fact this new series revolves around a maple syrup empire, it's actually not related to Riverdale. Sorry to disappoint!

True love is sure to win out.

Paul Morigi/Getty Images
The Kennedy Center Honors (a tribute ceremony that celebrates contributions to American performing art) always provide us with iconic moments — like Anna Kendrick fangirling over Beyoncé and Cynthia Erivo performing "Alfie" for Dionne Warwick. And this year promises to be no different.
The 2024 Kennedy Center Honors will honor Francis Ford Coppola, the Grateful Dead, Bonnie Raitt, Arturo Sandoval, and The Apollo.
Squid Game season 2 — On Netflix December 26, 2024
JuHan Noh/Netflix
Despite the fact we all took games very seriously in elementary school, I'm sure we can all agree no game of Red Light, Green Light comes close to the one in Squid Game. And we're in for another round of nail-biting challenges when season 2 drops December 26. As for what to expect?
"As we all saw at the end of season 1, the main plot of season 2 will be revenge," actor Lee Jung Jae told All K-Pop. "The key figure who controlled the workings of the games in season 1 was Lee Byung-Hun...it seems that the two of us will be the central figures of this next story."
Squid Game season 2 stars Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Wi Ha-jun, Gong Yoo, Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Sung-hoon, and Yang Dong-geun.
Dick Clark's New Year’s Rockin’ Eve — On ABC December 31, 2024
If you ask me, there's no December TV show as iconic as New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. It's going to be the perfect way to ring out 2024 (and welcome 2025). Although I have to admit, I don't know how they're going to top Megan Thee Stallion, Jelly Roll, Sabrina Carpenter, and Tyla's performances from last year!
Dick Clark's New Year’s Rockin’ Eve is hosted by Ryan Seacrest.
Which December TV show are you most looking forward to? Don't forget to add these 12 Cozy New Christmas Movies On Netflix, Prime Video, Hallmark Channel, & More This Year to your watchlist!
Holidays are a 1000 times better with kids. From baking holiday treats together to getting in the spirit with DIY holiday decorations, everything about the festive season is new and exciting as they wait for the big day to arrive. My daughter recently turned 10 and there have been so many wins (and a few duds) under the tree that I thought I'd share our favorite gifts over the years (that are great for *all* kids, not just girls). From interactive toys to educational kits to gifts that will get them away from screens and excited for the outdoors, these unique gifts will inspire creativity and spark their imaginations while being totally fun too!
Woom Bike
My daughter has grown up with these bikes, from the Balance Bike to the Explore Bike with disc brakes, 7 gears and all-terrain tires, and she LOVES them. They're super light and glide easily, even the kickstand is so smooth. Woom Bikes are designed specifically for kids at every stage. They are pricier than other bike brands, but I find that they resell very quickly at a high price point so you essentially get your money back. Choose from an variety of colors and levels, and they even have a warehouse option for gently used Wooms.
Micro Kickboard Foldable LED Scooter
This is on our holiday wish list because my friend and her son love them so much. These scooters are Swiss-designed, three-wheeled, lightweight and durable enough for well kids. They conveniently fold for easy carrying and perfect for traveling and on-the-go and when your kiddo doesn't feel like walking (but you do).
Yoto Mini
For your future podcaster, this cute, compact audio player plays stories, music, and educational tracks. Kids just pop in a card for what they want to listen too and they can use it with or without headphones. It's great for long car rides!
Ravine Cooperative Game
This game says 12+ but we've enjoyed it at 7+. This hilarious game is set in the woods and you need to survive together with firewood, shelter, spears, and forest food while keeping your wits! It's great to bring along on a camping trip!
Hey Clay Bugs
