Less than a week after we rang in 2025, the 82nd annual Golden Globe Awards kicked off awards season, and celebrities on the red carpet certainly didn’t disappoint.
Comedian Nikki Glaser kicked off what she called “Ozempic’s biggest night,” with a promise: “I’m not here to roast you.”
The night’s first winner was Zoe Saldaña for best female supporting actor. Saldaña won for her performance in Jacques Audiard’s Emilia Perez, the trans musical that came in with a leading 10 nods.
FX’s Shogun also got started early with wins for Hiroyuki Sanada, for best actor in a drama series, and Tadanobu Asano for male best supporting actor in a drama series. “I’m very happy!” exclaimed Asano with his arms raised.
“I never thought I’d be so happy to be called a hack,” said Jean Smart, who won her second Globe for best female actor in a TV comedy for playing stand-up comic Deborah Vance on Hacks, a role that has also brought her three straight Emmys.
Kieran Culkin took home his second-ever Golden Globe for male supporting actor, motion picture for his role in A Real Pain.
“My wife and I did a shot of tequila with Mario Lopez — definitely feeling that, the whole speech is gone,” he started before shifting gears to sincere gratitude.
Colin Farrell took home his third career Golden Globe, this time for male actor in a limited series, anthology series, made for tv movie for his role in The Penguin.
“No one to thank for this one, I did it all by myself,” he joked. “You all know it takes a village, whether it’s on the small screen or the big screen. I’m here on the backs of the talents of so many people through the years.”
Demi Moore won her first-ever Golden Globe for best female actor in a movie (musical or comedy), and delivered an impassioned speech about finding herself again as an actor.
Baby Reindeer won the Golden Globe for limited series, anthology series or made for TV movie, led by a moving speech from creator and star Richard Gadd. Best comedy honours went to Hacks, and best drama went to Shogun, which had a truly golden night.
Adrien Brody and Fernanda Torres took home top movie acting honours, while The Brutalist and Emilia Perez won the two best picture Globes.
The embattled Globes, which are no longer presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, are still in comeback mode after years of scandal and organizational upheaval.
