‘Emilia Pérez,’ ‘Shōgun,’ ‘Wicked’ & More Big Winners at 2025 Golden Globes

Emilia Pérez was the biggest winner on the film side at the 2025 Golden Globes on Sunday (Jan. 5). The film won four awards: best motion picture, drama; best motion picture – non-English language; best original song – motion picture for “El Mal” (co-written by Clément Ducol, Camille and Jacques Audiard); and best performance by a female actor in a supporting role in any motion picture for Zoe Saldaña.

Shōgun was the biggest winner on the TV side, with four awards: best television series – drama, plus acting awards for Anna Sawai, Hiroyuki Sanada and Tadanobu Asano.

The 82nd annual Golden Globe Awards, hosted for the first time by Nikki Glaser, were held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Trending on Billboard

Anora was the night’s biggest shutout on the film side; it went 0-5 for the night. Only Murders in the Building was the biggest shutout on the TV side; it went 0-4 for the night.

Wicked won the Golden Globe for cinematic and box office achievement. Barbie won the award last year in the category’s inaugural year. Barbie went on to receive eight Oscar nominations, including best picture. This year’s Oscar nods will be announced on Jan. 17. Wicked and Barbie are both music-driven hits. The soundtracks to both films reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 (though Wicked may yet reach No. 1).

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross won for best original score for Challengers. This is their third win in the category, following The Social Network (2011) and Soul (a collab with Jon Batiste, 2021). This puts the Nine Inch Nails members in a tie with Justin Hurwitz as the only three-time winners for best original score this century at the Globes. Hurwitz won for La La Land, First Man and Babylon.

Demi Moore won her first Golden Globe – best performance by a female actor in a motion picture – musical or comedy – for The Substance, 34 years after she landed her first nomination in the same category for the box-office smash Ghost.

Ali Wong won best performance in stand-up comedy on television for her Netflix special Ali Wong: Single Lady. This was a bit of a surprise. Many figured the Globes’ host, Glaser, would win for her HBO/Max special, Nikki Glaser: Someday You’ll Die. Ricky Gervais, a five-time Globes host, was the inaugural winner in the category last year for his Netflix special, Ricky Gervais: Armageddon.

Flow won best animated feature, beating The Wild Robot and sequels to Inside Out and Moana, among others.

All of the winners were present to receive their awards except Jeremy Allen White, the star of The Bear, who won for best performance by a male actor in a television series – musical or comedy.

At a ceremony on Friday, EGOT recipient Viola Davis received the Cecil B. DeMille Award, a career honor for film work. Ted Danson won the Carol Burnett Award, the equivalent award for work in television. The awards were briefly mentioned on the telecast, but were not given the extended airtime they were afforded in the past.

Multi-Emmy-winning producing duo Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner of White Cherry Entertainment served as executive producers and showrunners for the 82nd Golden Globes.

‘El Mal’ From ‘Emilia Pérez’ Wins Best Original Song at 2025 Golden Globes

Among two songs nominated from the Spanish-language musical Emilia Pérez, “El Mal” was declared the best original song – motion picture at Sunday’s (Jan. 5) 2025 Golden Globe Awards.

The award went to the French married couple of singer/songwriter Camille and composer Clement Ducol, along with Emilia Pérez director Jacques Audiard.

“This is such an American experience,” Camille — who was the only one of the three honorees to speak onstage — marveled to big laughs after making her way to the stage through tables filled with megawatt celebrities at The Beverly Hilton Hotel. “Songs are butterflies,” she went on, “and we need butterflies, even if it’s to denounce corruption in the world.”

Camille also thanked Emilia Pérez stars Karla Sofía Gascón and Zoe Saldaña (who had earlier in the evening won the award for best performance by a female actor in a supporting role in any motion picture) for bringing “El Mal” to life in the film. “Zoe and Karla: ‘El Mal’ wouldn’t be what it is without your performance,” Camille said. “You just … shake the house and shake our souls. Salud.”

“El Mal” triumphed over another Emilia Pérez song, “Mi Camino,” as well as “Beautiful That Way” from The Last Showgirl (music & lyrics by Andrew Wyatt, Miley Cyrus and Lykke Zachrisson); “Compress / Repress” from Challengers (music & lyrics by Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Luca Guadagnino); “Forbidden Road” from Better Man (music & lyrics by Robbie Williams, Freddy Wexler and Sacha Skarbek); and “Kiss the Sky” from The Wild Robot (music & lyrics by Delacey, Jordan K. Johnson, Stefan Johnson, Maren Morris, Michael Pollack and Ali Tamposi).

While Reznor and Ross fell to “El Mal” for best original song, they did take home best original score – motion picture for Challengers earlier in the night.

Emilia Pérez entered the night with eight nominations, including a best supporting actress – motion picture nod for Selena Gomez, whose co-star Saldaña took home the prize.

Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross Win Best Original Score Golden Globe for ‘Challengers’

Kinda like a cloud they were up, way up in the sky with their latest win. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross took home the win for best original score for their work on Challengers at the 2025 Golden Globes Sunday (Jan. 5).

And it wasn’t just the musical duo who was delighted by the win. Elton John, who co-presented the award alongside Brandi Carlile, lifted both fists in celebration as Reznor and Ross’ names were announced, and delivered an exhilarated “Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!” as the two rockers made their way to the stage to accept the award.

At the mic, Ross delivered a short and sweet speech. “I’d like to thank my best friend, my musical partner, the great talent, Trent Reznor,” he said, gesturing to the beaming Nine Inch Nails frontman beside him, before delivering his thoughts on the film’s dance-music score. “The music that revealed itself as the voice of the Challengers never felt like a safe choice, but it always felt like the right one.”

Trending on Billboard

Ross also thanked director Luca Guadagnino as well as the “fabulous Zendaya” (who was nominated for best actress in a musical or comedy for her portray as Tashi in the film) before sharing appreciation for their families. “We want to thank the most important people in our lives, our wives and our children. Mariqueen, Trent loves you,” he concluded. “Claudia, I love you. And all the kids, we love you.”

The duo’s win for Challengers marked their third Golden Globe victory. They previously won in the same category for The Social Network in 2011 and Soul in 2021; the latter is shared with Jon Batiste.

Reznor and Ross were also nominated in the best original song category for “Compress/Repress,” also from Challengers. “El Mal” from Emilia Pérez won that award.

The show was hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, who herself was nominated for an award — best performance in a stand-up comedy on television, which went to Ali Wong.

The Golden Globes are produced by Dick Clark Productions, which is owned by Penske Media Corporation. PMC is also the parent company of Billboard.

Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross, ‘Emila Pérez’ Team Win Golden Globes in Music Categories

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross won the Golden Globe Award for best original score for Challengers on Sunday (Jan. 5). “El Mal” from Emilia Pérez won for best original song. The song was written by Clément Ducol, Camille and Jacques Audiard. The awards were presented at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif and televised on CBS.

This is Reznor and Ross’ third win for best original score, following The Social Network (2011) and Soul (a collab with Jon Batiste, 2021). This puts the Nine Inch Nails members in a tie with Justin Hurwitz as the only three-time winners for best original score this century at the Globes. Hurwitz won for La La Land, First Man and Babylon.

The other nominees for best original score were Volker Bertelmann (Conclave), Daniel Blumberg (The Brutalist), Kris Bowers (The Wild Robot), Clément Ducol and Camille (Emilia Pérez) and Hans Zimmer (Dune: Part Two).

The award was presented by Elton John and Brandi Carlile, who are among the co-writers of “Never Too Late” from Elton John: Never Too Late. The song is shortlisted for an Oscar for best original song but was passed over for a Golden Globe nod. Before presenting the award, John made reference to his vision problems and assured the audience they weren’t as bad as has been reported, before playing it off with a joke, referring to his co-presenter as Rihanna.

All of these scores except Dune: Part Two are shortlisted for Oscar consideration as best original score. Dune: Part Two was ruled ineligible by the Oscars because it leans too heavily on Zimmer’s Oscar-winning score for the first Dune. The Oscar shortlist of 20 scores was announced on Dec. 17. Oscar nominations are set to be announced on Jan. 17. 

“El Mal” is the first Golden Globe-winning song that was co-written by the director of the film (Jacques Audiard in this case) since “Masterpiece” from W.E. in 2012. That film’s director, Madonna, co-wrote “Masterpiece.” An earlier Globe-winning song, “You Light Up My Life” from the film of the same name, was solely written by the film’s director, Joe Brooks. That ballad, which went on to win an Oscar, won in 1978.

To win best original song, “El Mal” beat another song from Emilia Pérez, “Mi Camino” (written by Ducol and Camille), as well as “Beautiful That Way” from The Last Showgirl (by Andrew Wyatt, Miley Cyrus and Lykke Zachrisson), “Compress / Repress” from Challengers (by Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Luca Guadagnino), “Forbidden Road” from Better Man (by Robbie Williams, Freddy Wexler and Sacha Skarbek) and “Kiss the Sky” from The Wild Robot (by Delacey, Jordan K. Johnson, Stefan Johnson, Maren Morris, Michael Pollack and Ali Tamposi).

All but two of these songs are shortlisted for Oscar consideration as best original song. “Beautiful That Way” didn’t make the Oscar shortlist of 15 songs. “Forbidden Road” did, initially, but was removed from the shortlist when it was discovered that the song bears similarities to a 51-year-old film song, “I Got a Name” from The Last American Hero. That song, a top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 for the late Jim Croce, was cowritten by Charles Fox, who is one of three people representing the music branch on the board of governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.

Last year’s Golden Globe winner for best original score, Ludwig Göransson for Oppenheimer, went on to win the Oscar in that category, as have the last three Globe winners for best original song, “No Time to Die” from the James Bond movie of the same name (by Billie Eilish and Finneas), “Naatu Naatu” from RRR (by M. M. Keeravani & Chandrabose) and “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie (also by Eilish and Finneas).

Elton John Jokes About His Eyesight Issues, Cheers on Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross at Golden Globes

Naturally, the 2025 Golden Globes boasted a slew of stars — in the audience, receiving awards and presenting awards. But even in a room of acclaimed actors, A-listers and visionary talents, one person stood out. After all, who else at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hill, Calif., on Sunday (Jan. 5) could claim to be bona fide musical royalty except for Sir Elton John?

Sir Elton took the stage alongside pal (and fellow Grammy winner) Brandi Carlile, who co-wrote the song “Never Too Late” for his documentary Elton John: Never Too Late with him. The rock icon took a moment to set the record straight about his recent eyesight issues…kind of.

“It’s a very special night for me to be here because, I don’t know if you know, but there’s been stories going around about my regressive eyesight,” John said. “I just want to reassure everybody – it’s not as bad as it seems. I’m so pleased to be here with my co-host, Rihanna,” he said, pointing to Carlile.

Last November, during a stop by Good Morning America, John opened up about his eyesight problems. “I unfortunately lost my eyesight in my right eye in July because I had an infection in the South of France,” he said. “It’s been four months now since I haven’t been able to see. And my left eye is not the greatest.”

John and Carlile both presented the award for best original score – motion picture, which went to Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for Challengers. When Carlile announced that the Nine Inch Nails duo had won, John raised both fists into the air and let out a huge cheer.

Nikki Glaser Channels Viral ‘Wicked’ Meme With Ariana Grande’s Help to Kick Off Golden Globes

Host Nikki Glaser was holding space at the start of the 2025 Golden Globes on Sunday (Jan. 5), as she kicked off the show with her monologue — and she got a little bit of help from the stars of Wicked.

While joking about how Hollywood has the power to do anything — except convince people who to vote for, apparently — the comedian looked into the star-studded crowd at the Grand Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif., and quipped that there may not be another election. “I’m scared. Ariana, hold my finger, thank you!” she said, reaching out to Ariana Grande, who was sitting next to co-star Cynthia Erivo.

The singer-actress — who plays Glinda in the box-office smash — reached out toward the host with her white-gloved hand, but Erivo (who portrays Elphaba) gave her manicured pointer finger to the “Thank U, Next” singer instead, which Grande grasped delicately before mouthing and gesturing to her friend, “I’m holding hers.”

The moment referenced a meme between the two Wicked stars that went viral in November ahead of the movie’s release. During that press moment, a journalist discusses with the two women the impact of the song “Defying Gravity” — which is featured in both the film and the Broadway production — and seemingly catches Erivo off guard, and Grande reaches over to gently take her forefinger in a sign of subtle support.

Both Grande and Erivo are nominated for their roles in the movie, while the film itself is in the running for best motion picture – musical or comedy as well as cinematic and box office achievement.

The show also included presenters who are musicians, including Elton John and Brandi Carlile, as well as those with musical ties, such as Billboard-charting actors Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Kate Hudson and Awkwafina.

Nikki Glaser Opens 2025 Golden Globes With a Diddy ‘Freak-Off’ Joke

The Golden Globes hit CBS and Paramount+ on Sunday (Jan. 5) night, taking over the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif. Comedian/actress Nikki Glaser hosted the show, which has new owners and a new lease after a scandal-ridden few years at the top of the 2020s.

After Glaser held space for a Wicked joke during her monologue, she set her comedic sights on one of the biggest scandals of 2024, the allegations against disgraced music mogul Diddy.

While joking about Zendaya and Dune: Part Two, she shifted to another 2024 flick starring Zendaya, Challengers. “That movie was more sexually charged than Diddy’s credit card,” she quipped. “I mean, seriously, I’m upset too. The after party isn’t going to be as good this year, but we have to move on. A Stanley Tucci freak-off doesn’t have the same ring to it,” she said, causing the actor to cringe. “No baby oil this year — just lots of olive oil” (that one got a laugh out of him, however).

Keith Urban caught a couple strays, with Glaser joking that wife Nicole Kidman made so many movies last year just to get out of the house while he was strumming his guitar. And Glaser launched a good-natured jibe at producer Benny Blanco. While talking about double nominee Selena Gomez, Glaser noted she was present with “new fiancé Benny Blanco. And Benny Blanco is here because of the genie who granted him that wish. Man. Lucky guy.”

After a long spell at NBC (which terminated amid a rocky period for the awards show during the early 2020s), the Golden Globes aired on CBS and Paramount+ on Sunday (Jan. 5). The 2025 Golden Globes ceremony is the first in a five-year deal with the TV network and the streaming service as the once-beleaguered show gets a new lease on life.

Comedian/actress Nikki Glaser is hosting the 2025 Golden Globes, which take place at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif. A number of musicians are up for gold trophies at this year’s show, including Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, Donald Glover, Zendaya, Maren Morris and Robbie Williams. And not just in the musical categories – Grande and Gomez are among the nominees for best performance by a female actor in a supporting role in any motion picture for their work in Wicked and Emilia Pérez, respectively. Additionally, Gomez is up for best performance by a female actor in a TV series, musical or comedy for her work in Only Murders in the Building.

Naturally, plenty of those musical artists walked the Globes’ red carpet. Maren Morris, whose “Kiss the Sky” from The Wild Robot is up for best original song – motion picture, hit the carpet in a long red dress; Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor (of Nine Inch Nails), who are nominated for best original score – motion picture for their pulse-pounding score for Challengers, walked the red carpet in black suits; and legendary R&B artist Babyface hit the carpet with Rika Tischendorf.

2025 Golden Globes Presenters: Check Out the Full List

Elton John and Brandi Carlile, who are among the co-writers of the Oscar-shortlisted song “Never Too Late” from Elton John: Never Too Late, are among the presenters for the 2025 Golden Globes, which is set to air live on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on Sunday, Jan. 5 at 5 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. ET.

“Never Too Late” wasn’t nominated for a Globe, but being booked as presenters on the Globes could help the song’s chances in the Oscar balloting. Oscar nominations will be announced on Jan. 17.

Trending on Billboard

The Golden Globes have a long and colorful history, and a reputation as “Hollywood’s Party of the Year,” but an undeniable part of its appeal is its place on the awards calendar. This year’s Globes will air less than three days before nominations-round voting begins for the Oscars (on Wednesday Jan. 8 at 9 am PT). Nominations-round voting for this year’s Oscars ends on Sunday, Jan. 12 at 5 p.m. PT.

Ariana DeBose, who has hosted the last three Tony Awards telecasts, is also set to present on the Globes, as are Viola Davis, who is set to receive the Globes’ Cecil B. DeMille Award; actress Kate Hudson, who last year released her first album, Glorious; Auliʻi Cravalho, who voiced the title character in the Disney animated film Moana and its 2024 sequel; and actress Margaret Qualley, a Globe nominee for best supporting actress – motion picture for The Substance (and wife of top producer Jack Antonoff).

The show will be hosted by Nikki Glaser, who is the first woman to solo host the Globes. It will be held in its usual home, the Grand Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.

Glaser is nominated for a Globe for best performance in stand-up comedy on television for her HBO/Max special Nikki Glaser: Someday You’ll Die. Glaser was nominated for a Primetime Emmy for outstanding variety special (pre-recorded) for her work on that special and is a current Grammy nominee for best comedy album, also for that special.

The Golden Globes is the world’s largest awards show to celebrate both film and television. Emmy Award-winning producing duo Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner of White Cherry Entertainment will return as executive producing showrunners for the show. Dick Clark Productions will plan, host and produce the 82nd Annual Golden Globes.

Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers will have access to stream live via the live feed of their local CBS affiliate on the service, as well as on demand. Paramount+ Essential subscribers will not have the option to stream live but will have access to on-demand the day after the special airs.

Unlike the Oscars, the Globes doesn’t book musical performances, but it has a star-studded line-up of presenters. Here’s a complete list of presenters, as of presstime:
