Washington [US], January 6: Hollywood’s brightest stars gathered at the Beverly Hilton on Sunday evening (early Monday morning in India) for the 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards, marking the official start of the 2025 awards season. Hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, the prestigious event attracted a star-studded crowd from both the film and television industries.
The red carpet buzzed with excitement as A-listers like Angelina Jolie, Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Glen Powell, Colman Domingo, and Adam Brody arrived, showcasing a range of glamorous fashion choices. The evening promised to be unforgettable, bringing together entertainment’s finest to celebrate the best in film and television.
One of the standout moments came courtesy of Cate Blanchett, who made a striking return to the Golden Globe stage in a gold Louis Vuitton gown, which had already turned heads at the Cannes Film Festival just eight months earlier. The gown featured a cape-style bodice with metallic detailing around the shoulders, paired with a long column skirt and dramatic train. Blanchett kept her look minimal with sparkling earrings and wore her blonde bob styled with a chic side part.
The actress is nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television for her role in Disclaimer. This marks her 13th Golden Globe nomination. In Disclaimer, she plays journalist Catherine Ravenscroft, a role that has earned critical acclaim. The psychological thriller also garnered nominations for Best Limited Series and Best Actor in a Limited Series for Kevin Kline.
The Golden Globe ceremony also saw the presentation of the Cecil B. DeMille Award and the Carol Burnett Award during a special pre-event ceremony, known as the Golden Gala. The evening’s honorees were Viola Davis and Ted Danson, celebrated for their extraordinary contributions to the entertainment industry. Davis received the Cecil B. DeMille Award, while Danson accepted the Carol Burnett Award, in a heartwarming celebration attended by A-listers such as Meryl Streep, Jane Fonda, and Carol Burnett.
As the main event kicked off, nominees for Best Motion Picture included Emilia Perez, The Brutalist, Conclave, Anora, and The Substance, while popular television series like The Bear, Only Murders in the Building, and Shogun led the nominations. The ceremony also held special significance for India, with All We Imagine As Light earning nominations for Best Director for Kapadia and Best Motion Picture in a Non-English Language.
The Golden Globe Awards were broadcast live on CBS, streaming on Paramount+ with Showtime, and exclusively in India on Lionsgate Play.
