The 82nd Golden Globe Awards had several major surprises and snubs. Held at the historic Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, the 2025 Golden Globes were hosted by comedian and television host Nikki Glaser. Glaser was recently a standout guest on Netflix’s The Roast of Tom Brady. Early presenters at the Globes included Dwayne Johnson, Demi Moore, Ke Huy Quan, Kathy Bates, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Miles Teller. Among the biggest Golden Globe predicted movie winners are The Brutalist, Anora, Emila Perez, and Conclave.

Hiroyuki Sanada of Shōgun brought home the Best Actor in a Television Drama award after winning the Emmy in the same category last year. Jeremy Allen White won his third Best Actor Golden Globe for his celebrated performance in The Bear. Other expected winners include Emilia Perez winning Best Original Song with one of its two category nominations and Sebastien Stan winning one of his two Best Actor nominations for A Different Man (the other being The Apprentice).

Anna Sawai repeated her Emmy win for her role as Lady Mariko while Colin Farrell picked up his second Golden Globe for The Penguin after winning his first for 2022’s The Banshees of Inisherin.

Kieran Culkin Wins Best Supporting Actor, Drama Over Denzel Washington
The first major surprise of the 2025 Golden Globes was Kieran Culkin’s win over Denzel Washington’s role in Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II. Although Culkin is an Emmy winner for his iconic role in Succession, this Golden Globe win marks his first major award for a feature film. Leading up to awards season, Washington was one of, if not the, top contenders to take home the Supporting Actor award. Culkin’s win is more of a pleasant surprise than a snub, placing him in a strong position to earn his first Academy Award nomination at the upcoming Oscars for his role in the Jesse Eisenberg film, A Real Pain.
Even though this surprise came early at the 2025 Golden Globes, it just may be the most significant one of the entire night. Washington was nearly considered a lock for the award when Gladiator II was first released in late November 2024. This and Cinematic & Box Office Achievement were the only two awards that Gladiator II was nominated for at the Golden Globes. A win for Washington would have made a strong case for him to win his third acting Oscar in March, which would place him in an elite category alongside Daniel Day-Lewis, Meryl Streep, and Jack Nicholson.

Tadanobu Asano Wins Best Supporting Actor, TV Over Ebon Moss-Bachrach
Moments after Emmy-winner Liza Colón-Zayas lost the Best Female Supporting Actor Award to Baby Reindeer’s Jessica Gunning, another Emmy-winning actor from The Bear lost in the Best Male Supporting Actor category. Tadanobu Asano of Shōgun beat Ebon Moss-Bachrach to take home his first career Golden Globe Award. Since Moss-Bachrach won back-to-back Emmys for his role as Richie in The Bear, he was certainly a favorite to win at the 2025 Golden Globes after coming up short last year. Tadanobu Asano plays Kashigi Yabushige in Shōgun but has not been confirmed for its upcoming seasons.

Emilia Perez Wins Best Non-English Film Over All We Imagine As Light

Emilia Perez had a lot of momentum going into the 2025 Golden Globes, which started back in May 2024 after it won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival. It’s not entirely surprising that it ended up winning Best Non-English Language Film after it was released on Netflix on November 13, 2024 and earned a Rotten Tomatoes score of 76%. One film in the category, however, earned a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score but still lost to Emila Perez at the Golden Globes. That film was All We Imagine as Light out of France, India, and the United States, which was written and directed by Payal Kapadia.

Emilia Perez was one of the biggest winners of the night, winning four of its 10 nominations, including Best Supporting Actress, Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for Zoe Saldaña, Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy, and Best Original Song for “El Mal”. While Karla Sofía Gascón did not win the award for Best Female Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy, she did make history by becoming the first openly trans woman to receive a Golden Globe nomination.

Demi Moore Wins Best Actress, Musical Or Comedy Over Anora’s Mikey Madison
Demi Moore’s outstanding performance in The Substance earned her a career-first Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, Musical or Comedy. Moore had previously been nominated for 1990’s Ghost and 1996’s If These Walls Could Talk, which also earned her an Emmy nomination. Moore surprisingly won over Mikey Madison’s breakout performance in Sean Baker’s Anora, which is widely considered one of the best films of the year. Madison and Moore are likely to battle it out in the Best Actress category once again at the 2025 Oscars in March.

Similar to Denzel Washington’s situation, Mikey Madison was at the top of many awards-season charts ever since her film, Anora, got its wide release in theaters in October 2024. While The Substance was released back in September, the film has gained traction on social media and with critics who hail it as not only one of the best horror movies of the year but simply one of the best films. After Moore’s big win tonight, she has surprisingly become a frontrunner in the Oscar race, which would also put her up against Cynthia Erivo’s performance from Wicked.

Flow Wins Best Animated Feature Over Inside Out 2 & The Wild Robot
One of the most stunning winners of the night arrived in the Best Animated Feature category. Flow, directed by Gints Zilbalodis of Latvia, beat out heavy animated hitters Inside Out 2, Moana 2, and The Wild Robot. Flow made less than $7 million at the worldwide box office at the time of writing, compared to the chart-topping $1.68 billion of Inside Out 2. Flow is tied with The Wild Robot in terms of Rotten Tomatoes score at 97% and is now poised to make a run at the Best Animated Feature Oscar race in March.

Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross Win Best Original Score Over Dune: Part Two’s Hans Zimmer
While Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have become an iconic force in cinematic scores and soundtracks since their groundbreaking work on David Fincher’s The Social Network, Hans Zimmer arguably deserved to take home the Best Original Score award for Dune: Part Two. While Dune: Part Two only received a few nominations at the 2025 Golden Globes, it was likely to win in this category if any at all. This was the third win and sixth Best Original Score Golden Globe nomination for Atticus and Ross. While some may call this a snub, the Challengers soundtrack is inarguably a crucial part of the movie, which was also underrepresented at the ceremony.

Wicked Wins Best Cinematic & Box Office Achievement Over Highest Grossing Blockbusters
In the newest Golden Globe category that was just instated in 2023, Wicked upset the two highest-grossing movies of the year to win Best Cinematic & Box Office Achievement. While the first-ever award went to 2023’s highest-grossing film Barbie, this year’s went to Wicked, which was the sixth highest-grossing movie of 2024. This establishes that the new award will not simply go to the year’s highest-grossing movie, which would have gone to Inside Out 2 by that metric. Inside Out 2 and Deadpool & Wolverine were the only two films that grossed more than $1 billion in 2024, but Wicked took home the award for reasons that aren’t entirely clear.
According to the Golden Globes organizer, Dick Clark Productions, the Golden Globe for Best Cinematic & Box Office Achievement goes to “the year’s most acclaimed, highest-earning and/or most viewed films that have garnered extensive global audience support and attained cinematic excellence.” Wicked was the third highest-grossing film in the United States last year, but it is interesting that neither of Disney’s top 2 performers of 2024 took home the award based on their numbers.

The final big surprise of the 2025 Golden Globes was Fernanda Torres winning over Angelina Jolie’s performance as Maria Callas in Netflix’s Maria. Torres received her first Golden Globe win and nomination for her role in I’m Still Here, which was also nominated for Best Non-Enlgish film earlier in the night. Considering that Jolie actually sang in her transformative role as international star and opera singer Maria Callas, she was thought to be one of the favorites heading into the ceremony. Torres announced that she didn’t prepare a speech when she accepted her Golden Globe award.

Before the 2024 Golden Globes, Torres was not considered to be in top 5 contention for the Best Actress Oscar race. Variety currently has her projected in eighth place behind Madison, Moore, Gascón, and even Jolie. Similarly, The Hollywood Reporter places Torres within the top 10 but outside of the top 5. While Jolie’s chances are not completely smothered by Torres’ unexpected win at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, the path to her earning her second Oscar, and first nomination since 2008, just became more difficult.
