The glitz and glamour of Hollywood took center stage as the 82nd Golden Globes unfolded with anticipation and excitement. Fans and critics alike were eager to see which films would stand out, with ‘Anora’ and ‘Wicked’ vying for the coveted best comedy or musical award.
This year’s Golden Globes marks the beginning of the awards season, setting the stage for the 97th Oscars. With no clear front-runners, the competition was fierce among a diverse range of films. Leading the nominations was ‘Emilia Pérez,’ a Spanish-language musical crime thriller with ten nods, competing for best comedy or musical alongside ‘Wicked,’ ‘Anora,’ and others.
In the drama category, standouts included the post-World War II film ‘The Brutalist’ with seven nominations and the papal thriller ‘Conclave’ with six. They joined the race against films like the Bob Dylan biopic ‘A Complete Unknown,’ the sci-fi sequel ‘Dune: Part Two,’ and the coming-of-age story ‘Nickel Boys.’
The lively atmosphere was palpable even before the main ceremony. The red carpet, a prelude to the awards, kicked off with glam and glitz. E! network’s special, hosted by Zuri Hall and Heather McMahan, set the tone with its focus on the evening’s fashion statements.
Taking the helm as the evening’s host was comedian Nikki Glaser. Known for her sharp wit, she promised a night filled with laughter, especially after last year’s host faced mixed reviews. Glaser, joining the ranks of previous emcees like Ricky Gervais and Tina Fey, was confident in her comedic chops to entertain the audience.
Viewers across the globe tuned in via CBS and Paramount+, though with a caveat—different subscriptions determined immediate or delayed viewing.
The night progressed with unexpected winners and memorable speeches, reflecting the year’s cinematic innovations and storytelling prowess.
As the curtains closed on the 2025 Golden Globes, the evening was a testament to film’s dynamic and evolving nature. It celebrated not just the art of storytelling but also the industry’s camaraderie and diversity. With award season officially underway, the excitement now turns to the next grand spectacle: the Oscars.
