2025 Golden Globes: From Nikki Glaser’s monologue to the wins of “Emilia Pérez” and “The Brutalist”, the Golden Globes 2025 stage was set at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif. on Sunday night, and this time the host was Nikki Glaser. After the failure of last year’s host, expectations were not that high, but Glaser made the show a hit with her funny punches and self-confidence. This night was a perfect mix of surprises and predictable moments, but there were some awkward moments too.
Let’s see, some of the best and worst moments of this awards night.
Best Host: Nikki Glaser
Nikki Glaser has been refining her monologue since December. She told her writing team, “Don’t be scared to be weird.” She proved this point on Sunday.
Her monologue included a hilarious joke about Sean Combs’ arrest and a funny joke about Paramount+. But the biggest hit was when she did an Adam Sandler impression, when she pronounced Timothée Chalamet’s name in a funny accent. Sandler made this moment even funnier by coming on stage.
Her most blatant joke worked in every test run:
“‘Wicked,’ ‘Queer,’ ‘Nightbitch,’ – these are not just the things that Ben Affleck screams after sex.”
This line was a hit in the auditorium and on social media on Sunday.
Best Costume Changes: Nikki Glaser Again!
Nikki Glaser kept her fashion game strong right from the red carpet. First a gold ball gown, then a silver sleeveless gown, and new looks for every moment of the night. For a moment it seemed that the show would be remembered more for her outfits!
Her pink sequined sleeveless gown and the bold outfit in the final impressed everyone. But if there was a version of Demi Moore’s viral yellow “Substance” coat, it would have been icing on the cake!
Most Refreshing Development: Unexpected Winners
This year’s awards were quite unpredictable, which was a fresh experience for fans. Strong contenders like “Emilia Pérez” and “The Brutalist” won awards, but the unexpected wins were fun in their own way.
The wins of Demi Moore, Fernanda Torres, and Sebastian Stan made everyone emotional. Their heartfelt speeches made the night even more memorable. Apart from this, the total shutout of “Anora” was also shocking, as she was among the show favorites.
This time the awards season is going to be even more exciting till the Oscars, because everything seems to be open now.
This night was not just an awards show, but a perfect blend of comedy, surprises, and memorable moments. What was your favorite moment? Let us know!
