Golden Globes 2025 winners list: ‘Shogun,’ ‘Hacks,’ ‘A Real Pain’ take early wins

Less than a week after we rang in 2025, the 82nd annual Golden Globe Awards are kicking off awards season, and celebrities on the red carpet certainly didn’t disappoint.

Jacques Audiard’s audacious musical Emilia Pérez, about a Mexican drug lord who undergoes gender affirming surgery, leads all Golden Globe nominees with 10.

That put it ahead of other contenders like the musical Wicked (four nominations), the papal thriller Conclave (six) and the postwar epic The Brutalist (seven).

The Bear leads all television nominees with five.

“I never thought I’d be so happy to be called a hack,” said Jean Smart, who won her second Globe for best female actor in a TV comedy for playing stand-up comic Deborah Vance on Hacks, a role that has also brought her three straight Emmys.

With his 11th nomination, Denzel Washington is the most-nominated Black performer at the Globes.

Steve Martin is nominated for the four straight year in the best television actor in a musical or comedy series category for Only Murders in the Building. The nomination marks his ninth overall and could be his first-ever Globes win.

There are 26 first-time nominees including Ariana Grande, Dakota Fanning, Nikki Glaser, Seth Meyers, Zoe Saldaña and Pamela Anderson — who earned a nod for The Last Showgirl.

The embattled Globes, which are no longer presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, are still in comeback mode after years of scandal and organizational upheaval.

The ceremony will be hosted by Glaser, her first time, and it will be televised by CBS and streamed on Paramount+ beginning at 8 p.m. ET. The ceremony airs on CityTV in Canada.

Find a full list of nominations and winners in all the major categories below. (This will be updated LIVE as the ceremony goes on.)
