Golden Globe Awards 2025

Hollywood’s biggest stars gathered for the official start of awards season at the 82nd annual Golden Globe Awards Sunday night, honouring major achievements in both television and film.

It was a night of huge wins, expected and unexpected, with a brand-new host and plenty of elegant outfits. Stars like Timothée Chalamet, Melissa McCarthy, Dakota Fanning, Zendaya and Elton John all brought their A-game. Vin Diesel even greeted Dwayne Johnson.

Here are the key celebrations of the grand event.

After wracking up 10 nominations, it was clear the Golden Globes were fond of Netflix’s unconventional Spanish-language musical crime drama — and its four wins, including Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy, showed that. My colleague Taryn Ryder reported that the audience inside the Beverly Hilton was especially enthusiastic about the film.

The Brutalist went into the ceremony with seven nominations and emerged with three wins, including Best Motion Picture — Drama. It’s also unconventional in its sheer length — 3 hours and 35 minutes long, with a rare break.

Both movies were well-received at film festivals throughout the year, and after the first major awards show of the season, they’re the ones to beat for future accolades.

If you caught the 2024 Emmy Awards in September, you already know most of the television award winners at the Golden Globes. Hacks, Baby Reindeer and Sh Mgun all bagged top awards in their categories in both ceremonies.

Many of the acting awards went to the same people, too, like Anna Sawai, Hiroyuki Sanada, Jodie Foster, Jessica Gunning, Jeremy Allen White and Jean Smart.

From her hilarious monologue to her series of impressive outfit changes, Nikki Glaser is earning rave reviews for her performance as the host of the ceremony.
