Everything that glitters is gold.
The 2025 Golden Globes took place on Sunday, January 5 – marking the annual “fun” awards ceremony, where celebrities enjoy drinks and let loose between winning trophies.
The 82nd edition of the Golden Globes, hosted by actress Nikki Glaser, was broadcast on CBS (8 p.m.) and streamed on Paramount+.
All eyes were on movies like “Conclave” and “A Complete Unknown” and TV shows like “The Bear.” It was a big night for “The Brutalist” and “Emilia Perez,” as well as Zoe Saldaña and Demi Moore, who both won Globes for the first time in their long careers. “Shōgun” also won several trophies.
Here are the best and worst moments of the evening.
Best – Nikki Glaser’s Monologue
Glaser, 40, was a first-time Globes host, and she was far more successful than last year’s disastrous host, Jo Koy.
Glaser has had funny zingers with several celebrities: “You have the most beautiful eyelashes on your upper lip, it’s so beautiful,” she told Timothée Chalamet about his mustache.
She also took digs at television in general, joking that on Eddie Redmayne’s Peacock show “The Day of the Jackal” he plays “a top-secret elite sniper that no one can find…because it’s on Peacock”.
Overall, Glaser did everything a monologue should do: she got laughs, she went for the kill, she made raunchy jokes to prove that the Globes are the awards show ” avant-garde” (“Wicked. Queer. Nightbitch. These aren’t just words Ben Affleck screams after his orgasms,” she joked), and she didn’t overstay her welcome or raise eyebrows all the world.
Worst – Zoe Saldana gets played
Saldaña, 46, won the trophy for “Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a Film” for “Emilia Pérez.” It was her first Golden Globe in her career, which spans more than 25 years.
The “Avatar” actress became emotional, breaking down in tears as soon as her name was announced. “My heart is full of gratitude,” she said in her speech. The music quickly began to annoy him, causing him to quickly shout “thank you” to his family. She was rambling a little, but it was her first victory in a long career. Let her speak!
Best – Jennifer Coolidge’s crazy speech
The actress from “The White Lotus”, 63, presented the prize for “best male actor in a television series – musical or comic”. During her introduction, she told a funny anecdote about how she knows the lead actors get “very special treatment on set.”
Coolidge added: “I don’t want to sound petty or anything, but I remember having this other job. It was with Billy Bob Thornton. He was allowed to bring his pet coyote, and I wasn’t even allowed to bring my overweight triplets. It was a weird joke, but it gave him his signature crazy charm.
Pire – Jeremy Allen White gagne pour « The Bear »
White won the Golden Globe for “Best Actor in a Television Series, Comedy or Musical.” He ours repeat: “The Bear” is not a comedy. This year’s category was particularly rich: other nominees included Ted Danson for “A Man on the Inside”, Adam Brody for “Nobody Wants This”, Steve Martin for “Only Murderers in the Building”, Jason Segel for “Shrinking » and Martin. Short for “Only Building Murders.”
Any of these actors deserved to win with their genuine comedic performances. Season 3 was also “The Bear’s” worst outing. To add insult to injury, White wasn’t even there to accept the award, even though all the other nominated actors were present. It’s not White’s fault, but nonetheless, it’s becoming a problem that his non-comedic performance excludes actors in this category at award shows.
Best – Colin Farrell Don’t Forget the Little People
Farrell, 48, won the Golden Globe for his role in “The Penguin” for “best male actor in a limited series, anthology series or made for television film.”
The Irish film star, who buried her face in make-up and prosthetics for the role, joked: “No one to thank for this one, I did it all myself.” Just a raw, coupled performance! »
Showing that he is both a superstar and a class actor, Farrell kindly greeted the underappreciated people on a film set. “Whoever else I forgot to thank,” he began, then trailed off. “Oh, craft services! Carolina would be there with coconut water! he says, showing that he doesn’t forget the little people. Whoever Carolina is, he’s probably the first celebrity to thank her on the world stage.
Worst – Seth Rogen and Catherine O’Hara’s weird porn joke
Rogen and O’Hara took the stage together to present the award for “Best Female Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series or Made for TV Movie.”
Rogen started with a joke about how the camera angle allows half the room to see his bald spot. “I would have filled that out, I said no, I completely regret it,” he began. It was fun, but then he launched into the kind of time-wasting joke that overstays its welcome.
Rogen and O’Hara, who are both Canadian, went on a tangent about their “Canadian work”, which Rogen said included his “Canadian adult work” like “Logriders” and the “Mooseknuckles trilogy”, to which it won the adult film award. “Le Castor” prize, he said. Behind them, Dwayne Johnson, who attended the Globes with his daughter, Simone Garcia, seemed unamused.
Best – Demi Moorethe speech
Moore, 62, won his first trophy, for his performance in “The Substance.”
“I’ve been doing this for a long time, over 45 years, and this is the first time I’ve won anything as an actress,” she said in her acceptance speech. She then recounted how, 30 years ago, “a producer told me I was a popcorn actress.”
Moore said she felt an award like a Golden Globe “wasn’t something I had the right to have.”
She added: “A woman told me… ‘You can know the value of your worth if you just lay down the measuring stick.’ And so today I celebrate this as a marker of my wholeness…and reminding myself that I belong.
The audience gave him enthusiastic applause. Kerry Washington, who introduced the category, joked about how Moore’s speech brought the house down: “Wow, good luck to the next person.” »
Best – Elton John’s joke about his eyesight
Sir Elton John, 77, took the stage with Brandi Carlile.
The music superstar made a joke at his expense and took a moment to address rumors about his health.
“It’s a very special night for me to be here because, I don’t know if you know this, but there have been stories going around about my regressive view,” John said. “I just want to reassure everyone that it’s not as bad as it seems. I’m so happy to be here with my co-host, Rihanna,” he said, pointing to Carlile.
Worst – Vin Diesel winks at his feud with The Rock
Vin Diesel took the stage to present the award for “Best Cinematographic and Box Office Achievement,” which went to “Wicked.” Before talking about the nominated films, Diesel, 57, turned to Dwayne Johnson, who was sitting in the audience. Diesel clearly said, “Hey, Dwayne.” This came across as a random moment to those not in the know. For those who are aware, it was Diesel winking at the rumored feud he had with his former “Fast & Furious” co-star. Is an awards show really the place to do this? It was a complicated moment for Diesel.
