This year’s Golden Globes kicked off awards season for 2025 with a ceremony that was actually pretty fun-filled, with some surprising, emotional and, indeed, pretty hilarious moments all crammed into Sunday night’s ceremony.

Huge stars from across the world of cinema and TV attended the event over the weekend – but because it all takes place in the wee small hours for those of us in the UK, you’d be forgiven for missing out on a lot of what went down.

With that in mind, here are 31 of the key moments you might well have missed from this year’s Golden Globes…

The 2025 Golden Globes red carpet got off to a somewhat unusual start, when Glen Powell and Timothée Chalamet lookalikes became the first ‘stars’ to make their way into the event

The real Glen Powell was among the first to arrive – walking the red carpet with his parents (practically celebs in their own right by this point) in tow

And he wasn’t the only one keeping it in the family – with Angelina Jolie arriving alongside her daughter Zahara

Elsewhere on the red carpet, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are clearly still joint at the hip…

Host Nikki Glaser got the Golden Globes off to a really strong start with one of the most confident awards show monologues in recent memory

Nikki Glaser crushed Golden Globe roast:

– “Ozempic’s biggest night!”
– “You’re all so famous and powerful. You can do anything, except tell the country who to vote for.”
– “The Bear. The Penguin. Baby Reindeer, these aren’t just things in RFK’s freezer.” pic.twitter.com/DKVPgEPhhH

Although Harrison Ford looked suitably peeved at his name-check

Nikki Glaser’s monologue also gave viewers a rare glimpse at Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner at their Golden Globes table

There were a few upsets on the night – including in the ceremony’s very first category when Zoe Saldaña beat frontrunner Ariana Grande in the Best Supporting Actress In A Film category (clearly even she was shocked, as evidenced by this emotional speech)

Next up was Kieran Culkin, winning his second Golden Globe and remaining the human personification of charm itself

the temporary tattoos on his arm that are undoubtedly from his children, the bracelets, the completely unfiltered speech….oh kieran culkin you are so loved https://t.co/fYBrCsJgj5

Demi Moore (more on her later) and her The Substance co-star Margaret Qualley paid homage to the film that had everyone talking last year

Some more comedic brilliance from Nikki Glaser

No one was expecting that, of all musical acts, Boyzone would get a mention during the Golden Globes ceremony thanks to a brief fact-file about Colin Farrell

Can we take a moment to appreciate that the Golden Globes announcer actually mentioned Colin Farrell’s Boyzone audition as he made his way to the stage to collect his award? Iconic! 🤣 #ColinFarrell #GoldenGlobes

Andrew Garfield’s full-blown smouldering on stage had us feeling… a lot of things (and we weren’t the only ones)

Demi Moore won her first Golden Globe after more than 40 years in the entertainment industry – and delivered the speech of the night

Demi Moore just gave the best speech of the night

after 45 years in the industry, she said a producer once told her she’d never be more than a “popcorn actress.” she thought her career was basically over until The Substance came along and made her feel whole again#GoldenGlobes pic.twitter.com/XqtCpaxJPn

Sebastian Stan also used his acceptance speech to make an important point about the need for inclusivity in cinema

Filmmaker Brady Corbet took a moment to remember his friend Jeff Baena, and share his condolences with his widow Aubrey Plaza

Sir Elton John proved he has a sense of humour about his recent health struggles while presenting the award for Best Score

Elton John, while standing next to Brandi Carlile, reassured everyone that his health issues with his eyes aren’t as bad as everyone thinks:

“I’m so pleased to be here with my co-host, Rihanna.”#GoldenGlobes pic.twitter.com/o16MAflMRw

Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Yeoh were an absolute treat presenting together (and if you’re a Wicked devotee, there’s one comment from their segment you’ll really want to listen out for)

Vin Diesel gave frenemy Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson a playful shout-out while introducing Wicked’s only win of the evening

An impassioned Jon M Chu then made it clear why directing the movie musical meant so much to him

WICKED is visually magical. There is a great precision in the artistic design that makes you get closer to the characters, especially to that heterogeneous relationship between Glinda & Elphaba. An amazing production. Ariana Grande is the clear perfection of a star. #GoldenGlobes pic.twitter.com/BXf2JLezXW

Wrestling aficionado Richard Gadd got a little star-struck after spotting one familiar face in the audience

Anna Sawai’s win for Shōgun was also a total delight

Come to think of it, maybe it’s time Melissa McCarthy presented a whole awards show herself

And finally… Glenn Close may have got a bit too excited while introducing the winner of Best Motion Picture – Drama
