Hollywood’s biggest stars gathered Sunday, Jan. 5, for the 2025 Golden Globes. The night brought not only surprise wins and emotional speeches but also viral moments that continue to trend.
Ariana DeBose opened the night with an unexpected teleprompter glitch meant for host Nikki Glaser. True to her Broadway roots, DeBose turned the slip-up into a comedic highlight, proving her adaptability and charm.
“The Brutalist” took home Best Drama and Best Director for Brady Corbet. Adrien Brody won Best Actor for his haunting role, adding to the film’s impressive sweep.
Corbet gave a heartfelt speech, paying tribute to Aubrey Plaza, who missed the event following the recent loss of her husband to suicide. The moment left the room visibly emotional.
The musical thriller “Emilia Pérez” won big with four awards, including Best Musical or Comedy. Zoe Saldaña, who earned her first Golden Globe, moved the audience to tears with her emotional acceptance speech.
Demi Moore had her own milestone, winning a career-first Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy for “The Substance.” Her portrayal of a star navigating aging and reinvention resonated deeply with viewers, earning her a standing ovation.
In a lighter moment, while Vin Diesel presented an award, he greeted his “Fast and Furious” co-star, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, from the stage. Johnson’s smile and nod marked a rare public display of camaraderie following their reported feud.
Zendaya turned heads on the red carpet, wearing a Bulgari High Jewelry necklace featuring a paraiba tourmaline and 48 carats of diamonds. However, the massive ring on her left hand fueled speculation.
When an L.A. Times reporter asked if she was engaged to her boyfriend of three years, Tom Holland, Zendaya smiled coyly and shrugged, leaving fans buzzing.
Glaser balanced sharp humor with heartfelt moments, garnering high praise as the first woman to ever solo-host the Golden Globes. Compared to last year’s host, Jo Koy, who faced heavy criticism for rushed jokes, Glaser delivered a well-received performance.
Despite being one of the year’s most anticipated films, “Wicked” walked away with only one award for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement. The category debuted last year, with “Barbie” as the inaugural winner.
