The Golden Globe Awards kicked off the award season with a bang in early 2025. Held at The Beverly Hilton Hotel, this year's event brought together the crème de la crème of the entertainment industry to celebrate outstanding achievements in both film and television. Notable changes include the absence of "Succession," which concluded its run in 2023. However, some of its stars are still making waves with their new projects. Nikki Glaser took on hosting duties, while Andrew Garfield, Demi Moore, and Colman Domingo were among the presenters. The ceremony aired live on CBS and was available for streaming on Paramount+ with Showtime. Key contenders included “Emilia Pérez” and “The Brutalist” for films, and “The Bear,” “Shogun,” and “Only Murders in the Building” for television.
In the heart of Los Angeles, under the golden glow of an early January evening, the Beverly Hilton Hotel played host to the prestigious Golden Globe Awards. This year marked a significant shift as it was the first time since 2019 that “Succession” did not feature in any nominations, having concluded its run two years prior. Nevertheless, fans of the show had much to cheer about, as several of its former cast members—Kieran Culkin, Jeremy Strong, and Sarah Snook—were nominated for their work in other films.
The night began with comedian Nikki Glaser taking center stage as the emcee. Her wit and charm set the tone for what turned out to be an unforgettable evening. Among those handing out awards were notable figures like Andrew Garfield, Demi Moore, and Colman Domingo, each adding their own flair to the proceedings.
For films, “Emilia Pérez” and “The Brutalist” led the pack with multiple nominations. In the television category, “The Bear,” “Shogun,” and “Only Murders in the Building” garnered the most attention. As the evening unfolded, winners were announced across various categories, including Best Animated Feature, where “Flow” emerged victorious amidst stiff competition from titles such as “Inside Out 2” and “Moana 2.”
From the red carpet arrivals to the final curtain call, the 2025 Golden Globes delivered a night filled with glamour, excitement, and recognition of the best in cinema and television.
The Golden Globe Awards serve as a reminder of the power of storytelling and the impact it has on our lives. Each winner, whether in film or television, brings something unique to the table, enriching our cultural landscape. As we look forward to more creative endeavors in the coming year, this event highlights the importance of celebrating artistic excellence and innovation. It also underscores the role of platforms like CBS and Paramount+ in bringing these stories to a wider audience, ensuring that great art finds its rightful place in the spotlight.
