Here are the 2025 Golden Globe winners

The 82nd Golden Globe awards took place Sunday night in Beverly Hills, hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser and airing live on CBS and for subscribers to Paramount+ with Showtime.
Nominations for the award show's film categories were led by the queer musical-thriller Emilia Pérez, which enters the night with ten nominations. On the television side, FX's The Bear leads with five nominations, followed closely by fellow FX show Shōgun and the Hulu mystery-comedy series Only Murders in the Building with four nominations each.
This year's ceremony comes after years of Golden Globes turmoil: In 2021, the Los Angeles Times reported that there were no Black members in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which founded the awards in 1944. NBC cancelled the 2022 awards telecast and studios and stars boycotted the ceremony in protest. Longtime Globes producer Dick Clark Productions and Eldridge Industries, a holding company, acquired the awards in 2023. (Dick Clark Productions is owned, in part, by Penske Media Corporation, which publishes a number of outlets including Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, and Rolling Stone.) An expanded voting body of 334 entertainment journalists from around the world now vote on the awards.
Below are 2025 Golden Globes nominees. Winners will be marked in bold as they are announced.
