The 2025 Golden Globe Awards celebrated the finest in film and television, with “The Brutalist” emerging as a major winner. The film, which entered the night with seven nominations, secured multiple accolades, including Adrien Brody’s first Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Drama. Brady Corbet, the film’s co-writer, earned the Best Director award, while “The Brutalist” clinched the title of Best Drama Motion Picture.
On the musical and comedy front, Jacques Audiard’s Emilia Pérez led with an impressive ten nominations across various categories, including acting, directing, writing, and music. The film won Best Musical or Comedy Motion Picture and Best Original Song, with Zoe Saldaña earning the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy. Selena Gomez, also nominated for her role in Emilia Pérez, further highlighted the film’s star power.
The political thriller Conclave, centered on the election of a new pope, garnered six nominations, ultimately winning the Golden Globe for Best Screenplay.
In television, The Bear, last year’s standout comedy, led nominations with five. However, the show secured only one win, with Jeremy Allen White taking home the award for Best Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy.
The night also marked a historic milestone as comedian Nikki Glaser became the first woman to host the Golden Globes solo. Glaser, who earned a nomination for her Netflix stand-up special Someday You’ll Die, brought her signature wit to the event but lost the award to Ali Wong.
The ceremony aired live on CBS and streamed on Paramount+, with a full replay available starting Monday.
