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.
