This year’s Golden Globes kicked off awards season for 2025 with a ceremony that was actually pretty fun-filled, with some surprising, emotional and, indeed, pretty hilarious moments all crammed into Sunday night’s ceremony.
Huge stars from across the world of cinema and TV attended the event over the weekend – but because it all takes place in the wee small hours for those of us in the UK, you’d be forgiven for missing out on a lot of what went down.
With that in mind, here are 31 of the key moments you might well have missed from this year’s Golden Globes…

WICKED is visually magical. There is a great precision in the artistic design that makes you get closer to the characters, especially to that heterogeneous relationship between Glinda & Elphaba. An amazing production. Ariana Grande is the clear perfection of a star. #GoldenGlobespic.twitter.com/BXf2JLezXW
