We come for the dresses, but we stay for the winners, laughs and awkward moments.
Tonight, the 82nd annual Golden Globes took place at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills. From Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Yeoh's hilarious bit to Demi Moore's heartfelt acceptance speech, here are eight of the most memorable moments from the 2025 ceremony.
The comedian had me giggling non-stop from the moment she stepped out for "Ozempic’s biggest night," thanks to her spot-on jokes and stellar delivery. The star poked fun at stars like Tilda Swinton, Martin Short and Timothée Chalamet, but one of my favorite bits included a clever shoutout to the "hardest-working" actors in the business.
She said, "I see some of the hardest-working actors in show business and by that, I mean your servers. Yes, give it up, they'll be bringing you your cocktails to drink and your food that you'll look at."
The Emilia Pérez star was overcome with emotion as she accepted her first Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress. In the audience, her co-star, Selena Gomez was practically beaming after she hugged Saldaña. And in her speech, she gave a special shoutout to her family and co-stars.
She said, "I'm just so blessed that I'm sharing this moment with Selena [Gomez] and Karla [Sofía Gascón] and [director Jacques Audiard] and all of my fellow nominees, I'm in awe of you your strength your complexity your undeniable talent."
When Foster won the award for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Limited Series or Anthology, she took the stage and Vergara yelled from the audience, "No, no! Not again! Give me one!"
TBH, the brief encounter was easily my favorite moment of the night. (In case you need context, both Foster and Vergara were nominated in the same category at last year's Golden Globes, and Vergara lost to Foster at the time.)
I'd have never guessed that these two would work so well together. Rogen kicked things off with a solid joke about the show's weird camera angles, then the two went on to poke fun at themselves by talking about their Canadian projects.
Moore earned the Golden Globe Award for Best Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical/Comedy, and throughout her four-decade career, this marked Moore's first major award. I couldn't help be feel moved by her emotional acceptance speech, where she opened up about experiencing doubt during her career journey.
She said, "In those moments when we don't think we're smart enough or pretty enough or skinny enough or successful enough or basically just not enough I had a woman say to me, 'Just know you will never be enough, but you can know the value of your worth if you just put down the measuring stick.' And so today, I celebrate this as a marker of my wholeness and of the love that is driving me and for the gift of doing something I love."
As the pair went up to present an award, they shared some interesting thoughts about today's slang and what fans have been saying about them. With a look of confusion, Goldblum said, "People have been calling me "zaddy," to which Yeoh replied, "Sorry, what's 'Zaddy?'" Then, she added, "And the same people have been saying that I'm 'serving mother?'" Perhaps the best part is when the camera cuts to their Wicked co-stars, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, who try to explain what they mean.
Fans got several glimpses of Gomez sitting next to her fiancé in the audience—especially when her film, Emilia Pérez scored a win. But seeing these two lovebirds smooch behind the scenes was easily the big highlight.
Call me biased, but everything Coolidge does is funny. When she got on stage to present the award for Best Male Actor in a Musical or Comedy TV Series, she joked about “men who had the daunting task of carrying the entire weight of a series on their shoulders.” (Like when certain lead actors got the best treatment and were treated to green juice.)
