This is the opening scene of the grand annual ceremonial. THE Golden Globes 2025 took place on Sunday January 5 in Los Angelesinaugurating the annual race for the 7th Art prizes. During a three-hour ceremony presented by the American comedian Nikki Glaserthe best films (and series) of the year hoped to leave with a reward that bodes well for the rest of the season.
For this 82nd edition, the votes of journalists from the Hollywood Foreign Association gave the first honors to Emilia Perez by Jacques Audiard with 4 prizes : Best comedy or musical, Best foreign film, Best supporting actress for Zoe Saldaña and Best original song for The Evil. The other winner of the night, The Brutalist de Brady Corbetemerges winner in the categories of Best Dramatic Film, Best Director and Best Actor, for Adrien Brody.
France shines in Hollywood
“Happy New Year to everyone. Health and morale because in 2025 we will need it!”, declared Jacques Audiard while receiving his first Golden Globe of the evening for Emilia Perezproduced by Saint Laurent. 2025 is off to a particularly good start for the French filmmaker and his musical about the intimate quest of a transgender woman determined to forget her past as a drug trafficker.
“I never had a sister and maybe that’s why I made a film about sisters. If we had more sisters in the world, maybe it would be better”he continued during his speech, preferring to leave room for his main actress for a political and luminous speech when receiving one of the main prizes. “You can put us in prison, beat us, but never take away our soul, our existence, our identitycried Karla Sofia Gascón. Today I can say that I have won: I am who I am and not who you want me to be.”
Demi Moore’s comeback
The actress competed in the Best Actress category in a comedy or musical, notably against Demi Moorein competition for another French creation: The Substance by Coralie Fargeat. Signing her comeback, the American was very moved when receiving her trophy: “I have been doing this job for a long time, more than 45 years and this is the first time I have earned anything as an actress.”
On the drama side, it’s the Brazilian Fernanda Torres, which won the prize coveted by Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Kate Winslet, Pamela Anderson and Tilda Swinton. 26 years ago, her mother was the first Brazilian actress nominated in this category.
The coronation of Adrien Brody
