The Gold Standard: Highlights From The 2025 Golden Globes With Zendaya, Zoe Saldana, And More

The 2025 Golden Globes kicked off awards season in the most glamorous fashion.

Held in Los Angeles on Sunday (Jan. 5) at the Beverly Hilton, surprise announcements were made and first-time winners were crowned. Zendaya debuted her engagement ring, subtly revealing that Tom Holland proposed. It’s since been confirmed that he popped the question over the holidays.

In addition to her new accessory, other stars including Quinta Brunson, Coleman Domingo, Tyler James Williams, and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor stunned on the red carpet.

The biggest winner of the evening for film was musical Emilia Pérez, while Shōgun and Hacks dominated the television wins. The film won for Best Musical or Comedy and Best Original Song as Zoe Saldaña secured her first Golden Globe for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture. Thriller Conclave won for Best Screenplay.

Arguably, the top Oscar contender, Wicked, won for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement. Sadly, Jamie Foxx’s powerful one-man show, What Had Happened Was, lost to Ali Wong’s comedy special. The Challengers score won for Best Original Score – Motion Picture while A24’s The Brutalist won for Best Motion Picture – Drama.

Ahead of the ceremony, Viola Davis was awarded with the Cecil B. DeMille Award. Though her 17-minute speech was limited to 45 seconds on air, the full version can be viewed below.

The ceremony was hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, who made history last year as the first woman to host the Golden Globes solo.

The 2025 Golden Globes aired live on CBS and can be streamed on Paramount+.
