The second major awards show of the season, the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, delivered a largely expected slate of winners alongside a few surprise nods, a sizzling TV duo moment, and a pair of nostalgic reunions. Stars descended on the Beverly Hilton for a lively evening honoring film and television, with winners selected by entertainment journalists from 76 countries under the Golden Globes Foundation.
Returning for a second year as host, comedian and actress Nikki Glaser trained her sharp humor on a range of pop-culture targets, from George Clooney’s Nespresso endorsements and Leonardo DiCaprio’s romantic choices vis-à-vis his film career to the Wicked sequel and a pointed jab at the pending Warner Bros. sale.
Leonardo DiCaprio’s One Battle After Another continued its awards-season momentum, winning four trophies including Best Picture – Musical or Comedy and Best Supporting Actress for Teyana Taylor. The film’s writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson also earned Best Director and Best Screenplay honors.
Another top winner was Hamnet, which claimed Best Picture – Drama, received by director Chloé Zhao, and Best Actress – Drama for Jessie Buckley. Rounding out the Best Picture winners were KPop Demon Hunters (Best Animated Film and Best Song for “Golden”) and The Secret Agent (Best Foreign Language Film), with Wagner Moura taking Best Actor – Drama for his performance.
Timothée Chalamet won Best Actor – Musical or Comedy for Marty Supreme, telling the audience the win was “For my parents, my partner, I love you. Thank you so much.” Veteran actor Stellan Skarsgård was named Best Supporting Actor for Sentimental Value, which he dedicated to his wife.

One of the night’s most talked-about moments came from Hudson Sullivan and Connor Slorrie—better known to fans as “HudCon”—whose onstage banter during their awards-show debut leaned into the duo’s steamy chemistry from the hit series Heated Rivalry.
The ceremony also delivered a wave of nostalgia. Fans of the ’90s medical drama ER were treated to a reunion when George Clooney warmly congratulated Noah Wyle, who won Best Actor in a Television Series – Drama for HBO Max’s The Pitt, which also took Best TV Series – Drama. Adding to the throwback energy, former Disney stars Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez were spotted together at the event.
Streaming platforms emerged as major winners as well, with Apple TV+ titles The Studio and Pluribus, along with Netflix’s Adolescence, earning recognition across acting and series categories—underscoring the growing dominance of digital platforms at Hollywood’s awards shows.
Podcasts for a Better World
The Golden Globes showed they were in tune with the times via the first ever "Best Podcast" award, with the rising popularity of the platform. It went to comedian Amy Poehler's Good Hang With Amy Poehler, which premiered on Spotify in early 2025. As she was handed the trophy, she said it was exactly as she pictured it - "Snoop Dogg giving me the award." She described the interview-type podcast as "an attempt to make a very rough and unkind world be filled with a little bit more love and laughter."
Host Nikki Glaser ended the show on a poignant note, by wearing a "Spinal Tap" baseball cap as a subtle tribute to late director Rob Reiner. She referenced him in her closing, saying "Well, that's our show. This one went to 11," quoting a line from one of the most famous scenes in Reiner's iconic film, This Is Spinal Tap.
