The 2025 Golden Globes kicked off awards seasons with a bang on Sunday night. The musical crime comedy Emilia Pérez, which received a record 10 nominations, led the film categories with four wins, including the awards for Best Musical or Comedy and Best Foreign Language Picture. Zoe Saldaña won her first Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for her performance as Rita Mora Castro, a Mexican lawyer who helps a transgender cartel boss transition.

The Brutalist, another top nominee, took home some of the biggest awards of the night. The historical film, about an architect in post-war Europe, won Best Drama and Best Director, while the star of the film, Adrien Brody, secured the win for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama.

Elsewhere, the FX series Shōgun swept many of the television categories, winning all four awards it was nominated for. Anna Sawai won Best Actress in a Drama and her co-stars Hiroyuki Sanada and Tadanobu Asano scored Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, respectively. The show, which won 18 Emmy Awards in September, is loosely based on a real-life friendship between a Japanese ruler and an English sailor in the early 17th century.

Keeping the ceremony on track and the audience entertained was comedian Nikki Glaser. Known for her celebrity roasts, she didn’t hold back from poking fun at the A-listers in the room like Timothée Chalamet and Selena Gomez’s fiancé, music producer Benny Blanco, as well as Hollywood itself.

Below is the full list of 2025 Golden Globe winners and nominees. If you missed the ceremony, you can stream it on Paramount+.
