Your support makes all the difference.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.
A highlight of the night saw The Substance star Demi Moore give a rousing speech, where she celebrated receiving the first major award in her 45-year career, and opened up about nearly quitting the industry following loaded criticism from a Hollywood exec.
Stand-up comedian Nikki Glaser also made history as the first woman to host the awards solo. She was widely praised for jokes that were funny without bruising any egos.
Read all the updates from throughout the star-studded night, below.
