Nikki Glaser Hosts Historic 2025 Golden Globes Awards

Hollywood stars gather to celebrate excellence in film and television at this year’s highly anticipated ceremony.

The 82nd Annual Golden Globes, the first major awards show of the season, hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, airs live tonight from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, honoring the best in film and television for 2024. Glaser is the first woman to host the event solo, making history after previous hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler worked as partners.

The star-studded presenters’ lineup includes Hollywood heavyweights such as Andrew Garfield, Anthony Mackie, Anya Taylor-Joy, Demi Moore, Dwayne Johnson, Glenn Close, and Jennifer Coolidge, among others. Special awards will be handed out to Ted Danson and Viola Davis, with Danson receiving the prestigious Carol Burnett Award and Davis the Cecil B. DeMille Award.

Before the awards are presented, the stars will strut their stuff down the glimmering red carpet, showcasing their glammed-up looks for what many call “Hollywood’s Party of the Year.” Enthusiasts can follow along with the fashion highlights, as this year’s lineup is expected to be particularly daring.

The excitement continues as Margaret Qualley makes her entrance on the red carpet alongside husband Jack Antonoff, dazzling observers with her white gown featuring a stylish bow at the waist. She paired the gown with stunning diamond earrings and headband. Qualley is nominated for Best Supporting Female Actor, competing against prominent names like Zoe Saldaña for Emilia Pérez, Ariana Grande for Wicked, and others.

On her collaboration with fellow nominee Demi Moore, Qualley expressed admiration, stating, “I’m like everybody else — I’ve been a big fan of Demi’s for a long time.” She mentioned how much she valued their teamwork throughout the filming process, saying, “Demi and I were just total teammates throughout this whole movie – still are.”

Meanwhile, the 2025 Golden Globes are set to showcase outstanding films and shows from the past year. Much anticipation surrounds Emilia Pérez, the divisive musical crime comedy leading this year’s nominations with ten nods. Other significant competititors include Hulu’s The Bear, which has dominated the television categories, as well as Wicked and The Brutalist. This year's host, Nikki Glaser, aims to steer the ceremony with wit, making humorous observations like calling the night “Ozempic’s biggest night.”

The ceremony will be broadcast on CBS, with U.S. viewers able to stream it on Paramount+. Unfortunately, there is currently no official channel for the UK audience, adding to the intrigue around the event.

Fashion risks are also expected, with stars like Emma Stone debuting her new pixie cut during the red carpet arrivals, complemented by a bold red dress. Andrew Scott and Matty Matheson are among other stars pushing style boundaries with their eye-catching outfits at the event.

Fans and viewers alike can follow along as the evening progresses, with live updates on the best-dressed stars. A surprising elements of this year’s event is the notable gift bag valued at $1 million, featuring lavish experiences such as trips to Finland to see the Northern Lights.

Overall, the Golden Globes not only celebrate achievements across film and television but also serve as a platform for fashion, camaraderie, and the shared love of art among stars. Whether it’s the gripping performances from nominees or the breathtaking outfits, the 2025 Golden Globes promises to thrill audiences far and wide.
