2025 Golden Globes winners announced: See the full list, from Best Actress surprises to “Emilia Pérez” domination
Nikki Glaser hosted a ceremony that skyrocketed Demi Moore into the Oscars race, while "Shōgun" and "Hacks" won big among TV contenders.
With the holidays in the rearview mirror, the 2025 Golden Globes winners rang in the new year with a fresh class of awards season darlings at the top of a heated race — including several stunning surprises and shutouts along the way.
Across Sunday night's ceremony hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, the Golden Globes revealed its annual roster of winners in both film and TV categories, with many movies and performances in contention at the Globes — like Mikey Madison (Anora), Angelina Jolie (Maria), Colman Domingo (Sing Sing), and Ariana Grande (Wicked) — also expected to cross over into Oscars territory when the Academy announces its nominations on Jan. 17.
Best Film winners in the Drama and Musical or Comedy categories, respectively, included The Brutalist and Emilia Pérez, with the latter emerging as an industry-favorite musical drama that followed up its steamrolling of the European Film Awards in December with four Golden Globe wins — the most for any film this year. Given the Jacques Audiard-directed movie's prominence with both the EFA — which shares significant crossover membership with the Academy — and the Globes, Emilia Pérez may now be the Best Picture contender to beat. That scenario feels even likelier after previously presumed frontrunner Anora lost all of its competitive categories at the Globes.

One of those losses came in the Best Actress category, where Demi Moore triumphed over Anora's Madison, whom many predicted would win the award. Moore's performance in The Substance generated career-best reviews for the Hollywood icon, who will now likely go head-to-head with the Globes' Musical or Comedy winner, I'm Still Here's surprise victor Fernanda Torres, on Oscar ballots. Torres overtook strong competition from Maria's Jolie and Babygirl's Nicole Kidman to become a new leader among a crowded category.
On the supporting side, Emilia Pérez star Zoe Saldaña was the first winner of the night, while Kieran Culkin (A Real Pain) was honored with Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role.
Among TV projects, Shōgun racked up the most significant haul of Golden Globes statuettes, with four overall wins, including three individual acting wins for stars Hiroyuki Sanada, Anna Sawai, and Tadanobu Asano.

Baby Reindeer and Hacks tied for the second-higest tally of TV wins, with each project earning two awards each.
Ahead of the main ceremony at a special gala on Friday, Golden Globes honorees Viola Davis and Ted Danson received the Cecil B. DeMille Award and Carol Burnett Award, respectively, for career achievement in film and TV.
The rest of the film and TV winners were presented during the televised ceremony, featuring presenters like Davis, Moore, Anya Taylor-Joy, Catherine O'Hara, Colin Farrell, Colman Domingo, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Elton John, Glenn Close, Jennifer Coolidge, Melissa McCarthy, Michelle Yeoh, Mindy Kaling, Nicolas Cage, Salma Hayek, Seth Rogen, and Zoë Kravitz, among others.
