Fey will host from New York's Rainbow Room, while Poehler will be at the Globes' usual home, the Beverly Hilton. It's expected that nominees will be appear from locations around the world.

This annual award honors an individual whose accomplishments in television best represent that special spirit traditionally defined as showmanship, a quality exemplified by Bates, whose decades-long career includes an acclaimed role as the title character in CBS’s 2024 remake of “Matlock.”

She has also earned 14 Emmy® Award nominations, including two wins for “Two and a Half Men” and “American Horror Story: Coven.” Bates’ notable television roles include “Harry’s Law,” “Disjointed” and several sessions of “American Horror Story,” as well as lauded guest roles on “Six Feet Under” and “3rd Rock from the Sun.” For her work in “Matlock,” Bates won a Satellite Award and received Golden Globe, Critics Choice and SAG awards nominations.
“Kathy Bates has consistently captivated audiences with her versatility, depth and the sheer power she brings to every role,” shared ICG Publicists Awards chairs Tim Menke and Sheryl Main in a joint statement. “It’s our honor to celebrate her unrivaled career and dedication to her craft.”
