By Mulder, Los Angeles, the Beverly Hilton, 05 january 0002 to 05 january 2025

The 82nd Golden Globe Awards, held last night on January 5, 2025, delivered an evening of glitz, glamour, and groundbreaking milestones in film and television. Broadcast live on CBS and streamed on Paramount+, the ceremony captivated millions as comedian Nikki Glaser took center stage as the first solo female host in Golden Globes history. Known for her sharp wit and fearless humor, Glaser’s presence brought fresh energy to the event, making it one of the most talked-about ceremonies in recent years. Despite losing her nomination for Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television to Ali Wong, Glaser charmed the audience with her self-deprecating humor, turning the evening into a celebration of talent and resilience.

One of the night’s biggest highlights was the dominance of Emilia Pérez, which set a record as the most nominated musical or comedy film in the history of the Golden Globes. The film didn’t disappoint, winning Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and earning Zoe Saldaña the award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Rita Mora Castro. Director Jacques Audiard, already celebrated for his artistry, added another feather to his cap by winning Best Original Song for El Mal, composed with Camille and Clément Ducol. The audience erupted in applause as Audiard, visibly emotional, praised his cast and crew for their dedication to bringing such a unique story to life.

In the drama categories, The Brutalist took center stage, winning Best Motion Picture – Drama and earning Adrien Brody the award for Best Actor for his portrayal of László Tóth. Director Brady Corbet was honored with the Best Director award, making it a triumphant night for the film. Meanwhile, Fernanda Torres made history by becoming the first Brazilian actress to win a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama, for her powerful performance in I’m Still Here. Her heartfelt acceptance speech, delivered in both English and Portuguese, was met with a standing ovation as she spoke about the importance of representation and storytelling.

On the television front, the competition was fierce, but Shōgun emerged as a clear favorite, winning Best Television Series – Drama. The show’s lead actors, Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai, both took home awards for their riveting performances, solidifying the series as one of the standout productions of the year. In the comedy category, Hacks continued its streak of success by winning Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy, with Jean Smart once again earning Best Actress for her iconic portrayal of Deborah Vance. Jeremy Allen White, who has been lauded for his role as Chef Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto in The Bear, took home the award for Best Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy, adding to his growing list of accolades.

A notable moment during the evening came when Viola Davis was honored with the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award for her outstanding contributions to the entertainment industry. Her speech, filled with gratitude and calls for continued diversity in Hollywood, resonated deeply with both the live audience and viewers at home. Similarly, Ted Danson’s acceptance of the Carol Burnett Award was met with warm applause, as he reflected on his long and storied career in television.

Netflix once again dominated the nominations tally with a total of 36 across various categories, but it was HBO’s The Penguin that saw Colin Farrell winning Best Actor in a Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television for his transformative role as Oswald Cobblepot. Jodie Foster also shone brightly, winning Best Actress in a Limited Series for her role in True Detective: Night Country, proving that her star power remains as strong as ever.

Beyond the awards, the ceremony itself was a dazzling spectacle, with the Beverly Hilton decked out in opulent décor befitting one of Hollywood’s biggest nights. Attendees, dressed in their finest haute couture, gathered not just to celebrate artistic excellence, but also to mark a year that saw significant strides in representation, diversity, and innovative storytelling. The decision to bring back the Lifetime Achievement Awards during a separate gala dinner earlier in the week allowed the main event to focus entirely on the nominees and winners, ensuring a streamlined and engaging show for audiences.

As the curtain closed on the Golden Globes 2025, the sentiment was clear: this year’s awards didn’t just honor the best in film and television, but also underscored the importance of breaking barriers, amplifying diverse voices, and celebrating creativity in all its forms. With standout winners, heartfelt speeches, and historic moments, the ceremony will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the most significant in Golden Globe history.
