The 2025 Golden Globes have been presented in a ceremony that was a tasteful and glamourous event full of the expected star-power. Gone are the days of drunken antics, rude, off-color jokes and controversial statements. After years of debauched gatherings while still trying of be taken seriously, these Globes are apparently now meant to be halcyon affairs. Yet this award show has blended in to simply become routine, a deeply serious Golden Globes that has managed to make the Academy Awards seem like a wild and crazy party.
The Globes still has the distinction of being the first of the major award shows and the 83rd edition created buzz for the potential winners (and nominees) that will lead us to the close of award season with the still distinguished, all-important Oscars.
Nikki Glaser returned as host and once again delivered stinging yet harmless jokes at the glittering crowd, making sure to let them know she was kidding following her punchline. She brought some much needed levity to the staid ceremony but the only other moment really occurred when director Judd Apatow came out to present the Best Director prize, offering a rambling yet humorous stand-up routine. No musical numbers (Sorry, Nikki but your brief attempt at a musical-comedy segment, thankfully stopped by Fran Drescher, was strained at best) and not even a brief in-memoriam. All we got from the show was Glaser's brief comedy bits, the announcement of the award winners and their acceptance speeches.
Surprisingly, the tense and troubling political atmosphere we're currently in now made little noise at this event beyond the subtle "Be Good" buttons that some stars wore. I was really expecting somebody to go off, angry and defiant to deliver fiery words that would inspire and offer some much needed encouragement. But that did not happen. We just got people sounding off the traditional laundry list of thanking family members, work colleagues and their fellow nominees. Not only did the Golden Globes play it safe but so unexpectedly did Hollywood.
Here are a list the winners of the 2025 Golden Globes Awards (Motion Picture):
