The Golden Globes 2025 are the talk of the town with their fair share of buzzworthy moments from a night that sparkled with celebrity presence.
Despite whispers of backstage drama threatening to throw a spanner in the works, the ceremony went off without a hitch, thanks in large part to Nikki Glaser's stellar job as the first woman to fly solo hosting the bash, while A-listers snatched up the much-envied trophies.
The soirée had its lulls, but it was the jaw-droppers that really set tongues wagging. Setting the scene, glitzy fashion statements on the red carpet were the order of the day, with the likes of Ariana Grande, Zendaya, Glen Powell, and Mindy Kaling serving stunning looks. Zendaya, in particular, caused quite the stir by flaunting what looked like a diamond ring, sparking speculations of an engagement to Tom Holland, although she kept mum about the meaning behind the bling.

Aubrey Plaza was notably absent from presenting duties at the awards gala after the sad news of her husband Jeff Baena's passing.
Nikki Glaser captured hearts with her opening speech, kick-starting a redemption arc after Jo Koy's controversial performance as host the year prior. Nevertheless, not all her punchlines hit the mark, like a bold quip aimed at Sean "Diddy" Combs, currently in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center facing allegations he vehemently denies including sex trafficking and racketeering charges, to which he has pleaded not guilty in court.

The Golden Globe Awards were also rife with drama and blunders, including Kathy Bates looking "shaky" while presenting, raising health concerns. Technical issues also marred the event. Elton John brought some levity with a quip about his poor eyesight, but not all jokes landed well, especially regarding the night's winners. Jodie Foster's win for Best Actress in a Limited Series led to claims she "robbed" Cristin Milioti of the award.
There was also grumbling about Wicked winning for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement but failing in other categories. The most coveted awards went to various films: Sebastian Stan (A Different Man), Demi Moore (The Substance), Adrian Brody (The Brutalist), and Fernanda Torres (I'm Still Here) took top acting honours. The Brutalist also bagged Best Motion Picture-Drama, while Emilia Perez won Best Motion Picture-Musical or Comedy.
