Golden Globes 2025: Top 10 Moments

It’s
that
time
of
the
year
again
when
Hollywood’s
biggest
party
rolls
out
red
carpet
glamour
and
raises
a
toast
to
the
stars
of
silver
screen
and
small.

As
expected,
the
82nd
annual
Golden
Globes
awards
ceremony
in
the
swanky
Beverly
Hills
neighbourhood,
hosted
by
stand-up
comedian
and
roast
queen
Nikki
Glaser
was
a
super
glitzy,
star-studded
affair.

Where
the
most-nominated

Emilia
Pérez
emerged
the
night’s
big
winner
alongside

The
Brutalist,
the
likes
of

Shogun,
Hacks
and

Baby
Reindeer
reserved
their
place
in
best
of
television.

Although
India’s
hopes
to
nab
the
big
one
went


unrealised,
it
was
heartening
to
see
filmmaker
Payal
Kapadia
and
her
globally
acclaimed
creation

All
We
Imagine
As
Light,
among
the
nominees
for
Best
Non-English
Film
and
Best
Director.

Aside
from
that
disappointment,
the
Golden
Globes
remain
a
ho-hum
affair
livened
up
by
occasional
display
of
wit
and
wildness.

Throwing
shades
on
soon-to-take
over
US
Presidency
Donald
Trump,
Glenn
Close
dropping
a
F-bomb,
awkwardly
camera
angles
of
presenters,
tearful
speeches
by
Zoe
Saldana
and
Adrien
Brody,

Griselda
nominee
Sofía
Vergara
playfully
heckling
Jodie
Foster
after
the
latter
took
home
fifth
Globe
for
Best
Actress
in
a
Limited
Series
in

True
Detective:
Night
Country,
the
long-drawn
ceremony
served
some
moments
too
few
and
far
between.

Sukanya
Verma
lists
the
show’s
big
highlights.

1.
Ozempic’s
biggest
night

Hands
down,
Nikki
Glaser’s
hilarious
opening
monologue
was
the
highpoint
of
the
event
before
it
slowly
slipped
into
monotony.

Dubbing
the
Globes
‘Ozempic’s
biggest
night’
Glazer
unsparing
humour
had
a
field
day
at
the
expense
of
Ben
Affleck’s
orgasms,
Timothée
Chalamet’s
eyelash
of
a
moustache,
Nicole
Kidman’s
guitar-strumming
husband
and
wicked
Pope
jokes.

Book
her
for
2026
already?
You
bet.

2.
More
Power
to
Demi
Moore

A
visibly
elated,
emotional
Demi
Moore
scored


the
speech
of
the
evening
as
she
tightly
held
to
her
Best
Actress
trophy
for

The
Substance
and
called
out
the
ones
dismissing
her
as
a
‘popcorn
actress.’

‘I
had
a
woman
say
to
me,
‘Just
know
you
will
never
be
enough,
but
you
can
know
the
value
of
your
worth
if
you
just
put
down
the
measuring
stick.’
And
so
today,
I
celebrate
this
as
a
marker
of
my
wholeness
and
of
the
love
that
is
driving
me
and
for
the
gift
of
doing
something
I
love
and
being
reminded
that
I
do
belong.’

Hear,
hear.
 

3.
And
the
Golden
Antler
goes
to…

Canada-born
actors
and
stars
of
the
upcoming
TV
series

The
Studio
—
Catherine
O
Hara
and
Seth
Rogen
—
took
a
minute
out
from
presenting
to
raunchily
riffraff
about
their
phony
award-winning
work
across
adult
movies
back
home.

‘You
see,
in
Canada,
we
don’t
have
America’s
puritanical
roots.
So
pornographic
films
are
as
lauded
as
much
as
non-pornographic
films.’

Description
doesn’t
do
them
justice.
It’s
all
in
the
camaraderie.

4.
Cheers
Culkin!

Golden
Globe
winner
for

A
Real
Pain,
Kieran
Culkin
shared
some
tipsy
tales
as
he
took
the
mic
and
confessed,
‘My
wife
and
I
did
a
shot
of
tequila
with
(TV
Host)
Mario
Lopez.
Definitely
feeling
that.
The
whole
speech
is
gone.’

Premature
celebration
aside,
Culkin’s
high
spirits
were
evident
as
he
hobnobbed
with
Hollywood
glitterati
al
through
the
evening.

5.
From
furious
to
fine

Two
words
from
presenter
Vin
Diesel
to
his

The
Fate
of
the
Furious
co-star

Dwayne
Johnson
in
the
crowd
was
a
droll
enough
indication
of
the
end
of
a
famous
feud
between
Hollywood’s
brawniest
duo.

The
truce
was
followed
by
Diesel’s
almost
booboo
moment
when
he
said
‘And
the
‘Oh
(Oscar)’
in
place
of
Golden
Globes.

6.
Nothing
brutal
about
this

The
Brutalist
director
Brady
Corbet’s
award-acceptance
speech
had
the
room
filled
with
awws
when
the
filmmaker
made
way
for
the
father
and
doted
on
his
little
daughter
in
his
own
sweet
way
and
her
emotional
reaction
to
the
same.

‘My
daughter
Ada,
who
looks
so
stunning
in
that
dress
of
hers
tonight
that
I’m
thinking
that
this
fiasco
I
got
us
all
into
may
have
very
well
been
worth
it
dress,
tears.’

7.
Joy
and
gratitude

Shogun
supporting
actor
Tadanobu
Asano’s
beaming
joy
instead
of
a
big
speech
and
endless
gratitude
reiterated
the
power
of
spontaneously
expressed
pure
pleasure.
 

Sometimes
a
joyfully
conveyed
‘I
AM
VERY
HAPPY’
is
all
there
is
to
it.

8.
Meme’s
the
word!

Awards
and
all
are
alright.
But,
pray,
what
broke
the
net?

Let’s
see
—
a
possible
engagement
ring
on
Zendaya’s
finger
and
a
teeny
glimpse
of
a
T
(Tom
Holland)
tattoo,

Wicked
star
Ariana
Grande
channelling
her
inner
Audrey
Hepburn
in
a
pastel
Givenchy
and
a
swooning
social
media
over
the
ever
so
stylish,
suave
Andrew
Garfield’s
slick
reading
glasses.
  

9.
Trivia
time

Charming
little
boxes
sharing
little
known
information
about
its
presenters
made
for
a
fun
touch
in
the
otherwise
humdrum
proceedings.
Like
did
you
know
Demi
Moore
own
a
serious
collection
of
2,000-something
vintage
dolls,
one
that
enjoys
a
separate
residence
or
Tim
Burton’s
wedding
gift
to
his
Beetlejuice
actor
Catherine
O’Hara
was
tickets
to
a
private
tour
in
Vatican
or
Colin
Farrel
was
a
line
dancing
instructor
in
an
Ireland
nightclub?

10.
A
bag
full
of
eye
candy
called
Glen
Powell

Glen
Powell
is
all
the
beauty
Beverly
Hilton
needed
and
the
hunky

Twisters
hero
appeared
more
than
happy
to
live
up
the
limelight
and
host
Nikki
Glaser’s
fantasies
to
the
hilt.
