After years of controversy and behind-the-scenes turmoil, the Golden Globes returned for 2025 with a new host. This year’s Golden Globes aired on CBS and Paramount+ on Sunday, January 5 at 8PM ET. Nikki Glaser served as emcee.
As for the winners, it was a very good night for Netflix, which was behind multiple prize winners Baby Reindeer (Best TV Limited Series, Best Actress in a Limited Series) and Emilia Pérez (Best Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Non-English Language Picture, Best Original Song, Best Supporting Actress). The Best Picture – Drama went to the epic The Brutalist, which also won Best Actor and Best Director.
The top TV prizes went to Hacks (in the TV musical or comedy category) and Shōgun (in the TV drama cateogry), which also took home three acting prizes for stars Hiroyuki Sanada, Tadanobu Asano, and Anna Sawai. (Jean Smart won Best Actress for Hacks as well. The Globes tended to give a lot of awards to their favorites this year.)
In addition to the typical assortment of categories for the best in film and television, the new-look Globes also have a prize for “Best Cinematic and Box Office Achievement.” Those sound like two totally different and only loosely connected things, but what do I know? This year’s prize went to Wicked, which was also nominated for one of the actual Best Picture prizes, but lost that one to Emilia Pérez. But I guess it was still the bigger cinematic and box office achievement, so there is that.
Here is the full list of Globe winners this year.
