And here’s my colleague Benjamin Lee’s nice summary of the evening:

Worth watching Adrien Brody’s speech in full:

And here’s the full list of winners:

Here’s our red carpet gallery for the evening featuring the night’s top looks, from Zendaya (obviously) to Timothée Chalamet and more:

In case you missed it, there was a lil Fast & Furious reunion tonight, in service of the award for cinematic or box office achievement:

Club Chalamet has spoken on Timothée’s loss. No word yet on his date this evening…

For those interested, here’s the serious part of Richard Gadd’s speech for Baby Reeinder:

Here’s Demi Moore’s moving acceptance speech in full:

It’s been a pretty smooth Globes so far, but the decision to not play clips of the nominated films/shows, and instead show where the stars are sitting as if they’re pins on Google Maps, is not going down well with some…

We’ve reached the midset break for the Globes – as in, Nikki Glaser is back with a quick sprint of jokes, from the “the lingering stench of ballroom salmon” to a tally of the acceptance speeches. Cast and crew has 11 mentions so far, while God, “creator of the universe”, has zero.

And, naturally, a joke in support of Moore’s feel-good win for The Substance. “If you’re a woman over 50 in a lead role, they call it a comeback,” said Glaser. “If you’re a guy over 50 in a lead role, congratulations – you’re going to play Sydney Sweeney’s boyfriend.” Yep.

The preeminent news outlet of our time, Pop Crave, has posted host Nikki Glaser’s full opening monologue. Her bit, balancing jabs and tributes, got much, much better reactions than Jo Koy’s cringefest last year, which went down like a lead balloon in the room and was roundly mocked after.

Glaser continues to keep it light – much gentler than her comedy can be – with a would-be musical bit that seemingly aims at the papal thriller Conclave and Wicked, sporting a papal hat and Glinda and, but mostly pokes fun at herself for singing in front of one Elton John.

The show’s about to begin so over and out from me, but not without one final look: Tilda Swinton, proving here that while colour was the main talking point when it came to the costumes in The Room Next Door – Swinton even said in a recent interview that “everybody in Pedro’s films dressed not only for each other but for Pedro! That’s what colour is for” – there’s an awful lot that a razor-sharp cut can do, too.

In a pleasing shift from Elphaba green, Cynthia Erivo has opted for an extremely ornate custom Louis Vuitton gown that could, in a certain light, be likened to a particularly beautiful doily.

If she wins tonight for best actress in a musical or comedy, the Emilia Pérez star Karla Sofia Gascón would become the first out trans actor to take home a film Golden Globe. (Michaela Jaé Rodriguez became the first trans actor to win a TV award three years ago, for Pose.) Gascón could also become the first out trans actor nominated for an Oscar – a prospect she discussed the Guardian in October.

“If it happens, I will be the happiest actress in the world,” she said. “If not, it doesn’t matter. All I could do – all I did – was to put my entire soul into the film. And I believe it is the best work of my life.”

In case you need a refresher, here’s a full list of nominations from Anora to Zendaya:

“It is a comforting thing to be able to put your mind somewhere else, to something entertaining, that also has a bit of a mystery. People need that right now – to get away from everything and get lost.”

Here’s our interview with tonight’s best actress in a drama series nominee Kathy Bates, talking about Matlock:

“I will not name names. But as recently as a couple of months ago, I had certain people telling me that I would never make another movie. So yes, absolutely, having the film heralded in this way is just great.”

Here’s our interview with tonight’s best director nominee Brady Corbet, talking about his epic saga The Brutalist:

Nobody does it quite like Zendaya. Her stylist, or image architect, as he likes to be known, Law Roach, told the New York Times ahead of time that the star would be wearing a Louis Vuitton look “inspired by Joyce Bryant, the glamorous Black singer of the 1940s and 50s who broke racial barriers in nightclubs”.

While there’s no clear frontrunner for the film awards, the TV side of things is easier to predict. Three shows dominated September’s Emmy awards: FX’s Shōgun for best drama (taking the space left by the dearly departed Succession, which cleaned up at last year’s Globes); Netflix’s Baby Reindeer for limited series; and Max’s Hacks for comedy.

The Globes are traditionally the tipsy, erratic aunt of awards season, so who knows what will happen; we’ll have a better sense of the new voting body’s taste in the years to come. But I’d expect another sweep for the industry-favorite Shōgun – Anna Sawai and Hiroyuki Sanada deserve! – and a strong night for Hacks, given the waning popularity of The Bear, last year’s dominant comedy series (that is not a comedy series).

But there could still be some surprises. Kate Winslet in the little-watched The Regime over True Detective’s Jodie Foster? Was the new HFPA charmed by Adam Brody in Nobody Wants This? Perhaps.

“Most people aren’t even aware what they’re feeling as they’re feeling it. Or they’re leaning away from it while interacting with other people. It makes me cringe when I watch a movie and it’s, ‘Oh, look how sad this guy is.’ Wouldn’t he be concealing that?”

Here’s our interview with tonight’s best male supporting actor nominee Kieran Culkin, talking about his role in the comedy drama A Real Pain:

Opera gloves – as worn by screen stars such as Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn – have been finding popularity on TikTok and here Pamela Anderson, nominated for a Globe for her role in the The Last Showgirl, has added a note of theatricality to an all-black ensemble that might otherwise have fallen a bit flat.

The Globes might not be as respected as the Oscars but they’re often way more entertaining, a looser atmosphere and easier access to alcohol assisting things.

There’s almost always a presenting skit that’s genuinely hilarious (early guess is that tonight’s might come courtesy of Melissa McCarthy) with last year giving us this moment of genius from Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell:

The pair are pros at lifting the Globes, having shown everyone how to do it back in 2013:

There’s a lot to compute here, not least with the mismatching patterns that remind me of static. But any outfit on Colman Domingo, nominated for his part in the film Sing Sing, feels worth trying to compute. The king of the red carpet brooch recently told W magazine: “I’ve always loved dressing. I have an Easter Sunday picture of me as a kid: I’m wearing a red, white, and blue jacket with brown trousers and a tie that’s really big. My mom said, ‘Oh baby, that doesn’t match,’ and I said, ‘But I like it! It makes me feel good!’ Which is why I’m not afraid of a little fringe or a ruffle.” And the red carpet is a more interesting place for it.

“I play a shadow. The Catholic church is very patriarchal, the cardinals are only men, but the nuns aren’t subservient. They have enormous power. It was important to underline their silence, but that silence doesn’t have to be powerless. I grew up in Rome and went to Catholic school. I knew how to play that because I lived it.”

Here’s our interview with tonight’s best female supporting actor nominee Isabella Rossellini, talking about Conclave:

Going into tonight, there are already a few historic nominations, such as Karla Sofía Gascón being the first out trans performer to get a film acting nod, but there could be some further records to come:

• Fernanda Torres could become the first Brazilian actor to win in the best female actor in a drama category, for her performance in I’m Still Here

• Yura Borisov could become the first Russian actor to win best male supporting actor, for his performance in Anora

• Payal Kapadia could become the first Indian film-maker to win best director, for All We Imagine as Light

• Sofia Vergara could become the first Colombian actor to win best female actor in a limited series, for her role in Griselda

• Quinta Brunson or Ayo Edebiri could become the first Black actor to win best female actor in a comedy series for the second time

• Hans Zimmer could tie Dimitri Tiomkin for the most best original score wins if he takes it home for Dune: Part Two

Trust Jeremy Strong will show up to the function in a funny hat – though, plot twist, the king of “monastic chic” is not wearing brown!

No wacky knitwear? This is not what we expected from Daniel Craig in 2025. As of last year the former 007 has been experimenting with bold looks thanks to his relationship with the Spanish fashion brand Loewe. Fine, this look isn’t exactly a straight-laced tux but it really only leaves the glasses to hint at the fun he has been having of late with the art of getting dressed.

“It was a very hard film, very raw; very vulnerable to make. But at the same time liberating. I had less pressure than Margaret, because she had the added pressure to look amazing. I degrade throughout and I knew going in that I wasn’t going to be shot in the most glamorous way, or with the edges softened. In fact, the opposite. But there was something freeing about that.”

Here’s our interview with tonight’s best actress in a comedy or musical nominee Demi Moore, talking about her role in the body horror The Substance:

Security will be tight at tonight’s Globes, in light of the unrelated domestic terror attacks on New Year’s Day in New Orleans and Las Vegas, where a Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside the Trump International Hotel. “This year more resources than usual are being put in place,” a federal law enforcement official told Deadline ahead of the show. The beefed-up security measures will reportedly include extra officers, snipers on surrounding buildings, and surveillance searches.

What was I saying about bold menswear? Andrew Scott, nominated tonight for best performance by a male actor in a limited or anthology series for Netflix’s Ripley, is never afraid of a bit of a challenge and few would dare to attempt such a Colgate-adjacent shade of blue as this, even if it is custom Vivienne Westwood. A for effort.

This year’s nominees, including Nicole Kidman and Denzel Washington, will all receive a gift bag with swag worth about $1m. Gifts include a $48,000 holiday to Finland and a trip on a yacht in Indonesia but as Catherine Shoard writes, there’s a major catch …

Leopard print can be a neutral, but Elle Fanning is here proving that it can also really pack a sartorial punch, particularly when paired with a Tudor-width gown and spotty snake necklace.

Update: it turns out that both Glen Powell and Timothée Chalamet’s lookalike competition winners, Maxwell Braunstein and Miles Mitchell, are in attendance tonight, which I have to assume is the Globes’ doing.

It was the knitwear that seemed to leave the biggest mark when it came to the wardrobe of the “hot rabbi” that Adam Brody played in the recent Netflix series Nobody Wants This. Tonight though Brody has taken things very far from wooly jumpers, or the faded band tees and Converse he used to wear as Seth Cohen on The OC. Sandy Cohen would be proud.

Without an Oppenheimer-sized frontrunner, this season has become incredibly hard to predict, making tonight’s ceremony potentially rather exciting, with results that could help highlight where it’s all heading.

I tried to predict where the major film categories will end up. It was … not easy:

Ricky Gervais isn’t hosting tonight but if he was, he’s told the remaining few still on Twitter/X what jokes he would feature in his monologue.

“Hundreds of entertainers jumped at the chance to go to The Vatican to meet The Pope. Many from Hollywood. Obviously they weren’t content with only being part of the 2nd biggest pedo ring in the world…”

and

“Justin Timberlake was convicted of Drink Driving. If he’d have gone to jail he’d have heard the words ‘Sexy Back’ a lot more often.”

When asked if she would go as hard as Gervais, this year’s actual host Nikki Glaser had this to say:

“I’m not gonna go so hard that anyone’s gonna be offended,” she said to Yahoo. “I’ve made a point not to, and that’s not to disappoint anyone who’s hoping I’m going to pull a Ricky Gervais. I’m not Ricky Gervais. This isn’t my last Golden Globes, this is my first one. He really went hard on his last one. He was ready to burn some bridges [because] it didn’t matter any more … Celebrities shouldn’t be nervous because [showing they have a sense of humor about themselves is] a great opportunity for them to look cool.”

Zoë Kravitz could make a hot water bottle look chic, and here she doesn’t have to because she is dabbling in some very stylish if on-the-nose markers of red carpet dressing: a plunging neckline, a train and bold black and white colourway.

At first glance this outfit from Anna Sawai, nominated for her role in the epic historical drama Shōgun, might not look like much, but look closer and you will notice some interesting things going on here with texture, subtle colour shifts and cut. Peplums can look naff but this looks modern and cool, which shouldn’t come as a surprise because she is styled by Karla Welch, a Hollywood stylist who has worked with everyone from Greta Gerwig to Justin Bieber and Tracee Ellis Ross.

Speaking of the menswear, what better place to start than with The Bear actor and chef Matty Matheson? He has been lighting up red carpets not only with his looks but his poses, too. The cream and white is a brave choice ahead of a sit-down dinner, the trousers that look like they haven’t met an iron are very much on-trend and the arms spread wide are bringing the kind of energy we hope is a sign of things to come this year.

Cate Blanchett has walked more red carpets than most people have had hot dinners – at past Golden Globes she has worn everything from custom Mary Katrantzou to Givenchy couture, Alexander McQueen and Jean Paul Gaultier. This outfit speaks to her Hollywood credentials – confident and seemingly riffing on the Oscars statuette.

It’s the apex and the denouement of celebrity lookalike contests: Glen Powell has apparently brought his lookalike (from the Austin competition) to the Globes, and introduced him to his mom.

A good place to look for the brightest sartorial sparks tonight may be the menswear, because where men’s red carpet fashion used to be all about the tux, in recent years it has been responsible for some of the most memorable, daring and interesting looks – think Billy Porter in a Christian Siriano ballgown or Timothée Chalamet in a Louis Vuitton harness. Eyes peeled this evening for Colman Domingo, who has proven on recent red carpets that he knows his way around a brooch, as well of course as Chalamet who has a track record of pushing the dial.

But I am also hoping to see plenty of fireworks from the womenswear, both from long-time big hitters such as Tilda Swinton, nominated for her role in Pedro Almodóvar’s The Room Next Door, a film in which her character meets death in a powerful yellow suit, and relative newcomers such as Anora’s Mikey Madison, who has been showing some serious fashion chops of late in JW Anderson, custom Prada and Schiaparelli.

To the red carpet, which is already under way and … last year the Golden Globes followed a months-long actors’ strike, meaning that the stars went hard, sartorially speaking, in part because they’d spent so long at home – or at least not in couture, in front of cameras, on red carpets. The early flair continued and awards season brought with it such wizardry as a trend for straps that levitated inches above the shoulder, architectural gowns that borrowed as much from Brunel as from Balenciaga and such boldness as Billie Eilish dressed for the office, if the office were a gen Z take on Chanel HQ. This year, let’s hope that the same sense of occasion and innovation continues.

For one indication that it might, look to the fortunes of luxury fashion. Due to slumping sales, anger over massive price inflations and perceived downturns in quality, it is having a relatively unhappy time of it and, as the industry site the Business of Fashion puts it: “Ironically, the slump may also be the reason the red carpet is more entertaining than usual; brands with something to prove can put on a good show.” The red carpet is at the heart of the fashion industrial complex and brands will be seeing in it a chance to shine, both on the night itself and on social media for nights long afterwards. Luxury fashion’s losses may well be red carpet watchers’ gain.

Last year’s host, Jo Koy, set the bar pretty low with a mostly reviled set, making lazy jokes about Barbie’s boobs and Barry Keoghan’s penis, so it’s made tonight easier for comedian Nikki Glaser. Not that she needed the help – the rising star has become one of the funniest, and most daring, comics around.

Her recent HBO special Someday You’ll Die, nominated tonight, confronted ageing, death and lack of interest in becoming a parent, and it capped off a year that saw her go viral with her brutal roast of Tom Brady.

Here’s a reminder of why:

Last year, the Nu Globes introduced a new category, cinematic and box office achievement, that seemed invented to give something to Barbie and get Taylor Swift to the show. This year, the category is basically a bid for blockbuster audience interest, with Twisters, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Alien: Romulus and Inside Out 2 among the nominees.

The crowd-pleaser Wicked, the highest-grossing Broadway adaptation of all time, could be the winner, or maybe the Globes will take this chance to acknowledge the box office dominance of Deadpool & Wolverine.
