Golden Globes 2025 updates: Winners, best moments and reactions
The 2025 Golden Globes have drawn to a close after a glittering night in Los Angeles, crowning the best of the past year’s TV and film.
The nominees were announced on 9 December, with divisive musical crime comedy Emilia Peréz leading the pack at 10 nominations, while Hulu’s The Bear dominated the TV categories.
On the night, it was FX’s Japan-set period drama Shogun that came out on top, winning all four awards it was nominated for.
In the film categories, The Brutalist, which was hailed a “masterpiece” after its festival premiere, took home some of the biggest awards of the evening including Adrien Brody’s victory for Best Actor in a Drama.
Emilia Pérez, too, took home four awards including a surprise win in the Best Motion Picture: Musical or Comedy category.
Awards darling The Bear was largely snubbed for once with just one prize for Jeremy Allen White’s role – his third consecutive Globe.
Stand-up comedian Nikki Glaser made history as the first woman to host the awards solo. She was widely praised for jokes that were funny without bruising any egos.

Let the lip-reading experts loose on this one
What on earth were these two icons talking about? Jodie Foster’s win? That awkward Diddy joke? How Nicole Kidman got her hair to do what it’s doing? We can only speculate wildly…

Emilia Pérez closes out the night with shock win
Netflix’s Emilia Pérez was the surprise victor in the Best Motion Picture: Musical or Comedy category.
Wicked was expected to win award over competition from Anora, Challengers, A Real Pain andThe Substance.
“This is a very tricky category to call,” wrote The Independent’s Adam White ahead of the ceremony. “Will the Globes go for Wicked, if only because it made so much money? Or will they go for The Substance, a surreal and gonzo piece of Eurotrash with A-list American stars, even if it’s not really a comedy? It’s certainly less funny than the not exactly laugh-out-loud Challengers, which walks over the rest of the films in this category in terms of sheer spectacle and fun.
“Why isn’t the thrilling Zendaya love triangle movie sweeping Oscar season? Putting that complaint aside, though, our money is on Wicked.”
