Leading into the ceremony, organizers have rolled out a series of “Golden Week” events recognizing nominees and industry figures.[1] A special Golden Eve broadcast has already honored Sarah Jessica Parker and Dame Helen Mirren, highlighting their long careers and influence in entertainment.[1]
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is also debuting a new Best Podcast category, reflecting the rapid growth of audio storytelling.[1] To mark the addition, The Hollywood Reporter and Spotify hosted a Nominees Night Party featuring a DJ set by Mark Ronson and performances by Chaka Khan, John Legend and Miles Caton.[1]

Bruno Mars Confirms First Solo Album in Nearly a Decade
Bruno Mars has sparked major excitement among fans by announcing that his new solo album is finished, his first full solo project since 2016’s “24K Magic.”[3] Mars revealed the news with a brief social media message stating simply that his album is done, without disclosing a title or release date.[3]
Entertainment commentators say industry insiders are already speculating that a lead single could arrive as early as this week, although no official date has been confirmed.[3] The album follows several high-profile collaborations in recent years, including work with Lady Gaga and Rosé, but marks his return to a standalone studio project.[3]
The long gap between solo releases has fueled expectations that the new record will be a major event on the U.S. pop calendar. Commentators note that Mars remains one of the few artists whose releases can still drive broad, cross-format radio play and streaming surges simultaneously.[3]

The same program teased an upcoming segment with one of the stars of a critically acclaimed Broadway revival of “Ragtime”, underscoring the renewed attention on live theater as awards season and winter tourism bring larger audiences to New York stages.[2] These appearances are part of a steady cycle of promotional stops that help drive interest in new episodes and stage productions.
