The 2025 awards season is officially underway! Comedian Nikki Glaser hosted the 82nd annual Golden Globes on Sunday to honor the top films and television programs of 2024. In her opening monologue, she gently teased the stars in attendance, calling out Timothée Chalamet for having "the most gorgeous eyelashes on your upper lip," a reference to the wispy mustache he grew for his upcoming film "Marty Supreme," which includes scenes filmed at Broadway Stages.

Musical crime drama "Emilia Pérez" started the night with a win for supporting actress Zoe Saldaña. Saldaña is primarily known for her work in "Avatar" and Marvel films and is expected to earn her first Oscar nomination this year. Kieran Culkin won the corresponding best supporting actor award for his performance in the dramedy "A Real Pain." He earned his first Golden Globe nomination more than 20 years ago as the teenage title character in the 2002 coming-of-age dramedy "Igby Goes Down."

The historical drama "The Brutalist" earned three of the night's top awards — best actor in a drama for Adrien Brody, best director for Brady Corbet, and best drama. "Emilia Pérez" won the big prize for best musical or comedy as well as best non-English language film and best song for "El Mal." The papal drama "Conclave" won best screenplay.

Fernanda Torres was a bit of a surprise winner for best actress in a drama for her performance in "I'm Still Here," a Portuguese-language biopic. In the musical or comedy acting categories, Demi Moore won her first Golden Globe for her work in the satirical horror film "The Substance," and Sebastian Stan won for the dark comedy "A Different Man." Stan was also nominated for best actor in a drama for the biopic "The Apprentice."

The final film awards went to "Flow" for best animated film, "Wicked" for cinematic and box office achievement, and "Challengers" for best score, earning Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross their third win out of six nominations in the category. The duo previously won best score for "The Social Network" and "Soul" and went on to win the Oscar for both.

Switching over to the television categories, "Shōgun," "Hacks," and "Baby Reindeer" were the night's big winners.

FX/Hulu's historical drama "Shōgun" won in all four categories in which it was nominated — best drama, best actor in a drama for Hiroyuki Sanada, best actress in a drama for Anna Sawai, and best actor in a supporting role for Tadanobu Asano. A year ago HBO's drama "Succession" dominated the drama categories at the Golden Globes, and "Shōgun" seems ready to take its place as the frontrunner at future awards shows. The series, based on the 1975 novel of the same name by James Clavell, won 18 Emmys last September, the most ever for a single season of a TV series.

HBO/Max's "Hacks" won two of the top awards for musicals or comedies, with Jean Smart winning her second for best actress in a musical or comedy and the show winning its second for best musical or comedy. "Hacks" and its star both took home awards at the 79th annual Golden Globes held in 2022 as well. Smart has also won the Primetime Emmy three times for the series in which she stars as a legendary standup comedian who hires a young writer (Hannah Einbinder) to help her reinvent herself for a modern audience.

Jeremy Allen White won best actor in a musical or comedy for the third year in a row for his leading role on FX/Hulu's "The Bear."

In the limited series, anthology series, or motion picture made for television categories, Netflix's "Baby Reindeer" won the top prize while Jessica Gunning won an award for her supporting role. HBO/Max's "The Penguin" earned Colin Farrell his first Golden Globe for his television work, for his leading role as the DC Comics villain. He previously won Golden Globes for best actor in a motion picture musical or comedy for 2008's "In Bruges" and 2022's "The Banshees of Inisherin." Jodie Foster won her fourth competitive Golden Globe for her leading role in "True Detective: Night Country."

Ali Wong, last year's big winner for her performance in the limited series "Beef," took home the second ever award for best performance in stand-up comedy on television. The award was first presented last year, with Ricky Gervais winning.

Congrats to all the winners! We were looking forward to seeing the awards season continue this weekend with Chelsea Handler hosting the 30th annual Critics Choice Awards, but the devastating wildfires in Southern California have led to the event being postponed to January 26. We hope everyone stays safe, and we look forward to seeing who wins in a few weeks.
