This year's Golden Globes featured a first-time win for 62-year-old Demi Moore, another awards sweep for Shogun, and celebrity lookalikes on the red carpet.
The three-hour ceremony presented by Nikki Glaser — the first solo female host of the Globes — had plenty of laughs, multiple dress changes, and even a Wicked-Conclave musical number.
Here are the key moments from the 2025 Golden Globe Awards:
Demi Moore's first-ever award as actor
"I've been acting for 45 years, and this is the first time I've ever won anything as an actor," a surprised Demi Moore began her acceptance speech for Best Female Actor in a Musical or Comedy for The Substance.
Moore has several minor and ensemble awards, but out of the majors, this is surprisingly her first win for acting.
She ended her speech talking about The Substance's core values.
" … In those moments when we don't think we're smart enough, or pretty enough, or skinny enough, or are 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.'
"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 and being reminded I do belong."
The Brutalist director's heartwarming speech
Brady Corbet gave a moving speech as he accepted the award for Best Drama for The Brutalist.
"I was told that this film was un-distributable. I was told that no-one would come out and see it. I was told the film would not work," he said.
"And I don't resent that.
"I want to use this as an opportunity to lift up filmmakers, not just fellow nominees, all the extraordinary directors in this room. Films do not exist without the filmmakers."
He called on the crowd to support other directors.
"No-one was asking for a 3.5-hour film about a mid-century designer, on 70 millimetres. But it works. So, please, just think about it."
Earlier in the evening, when he won Best Director in a Motion Picture, he ended his speech stating his heart was with Aubrey Plaza and Jeff Baena's family.
Indie filmmaker and Plaza's husband, Baena, died on Sunday at 47.
Nikki Glaser's dress changes and 'Pope-ular' moment
If you were counting, we had at least six dress changes throughout the night from host Nikki Glaser.
During the show, dressed in a sparkly pink Glinda-esque outfit topped with a pope hat, Glaser burst into song, changing Popular to "Pope-ular" — a nod to Golden Globe winner Conclave.
"You will be popular ... pope-ular! You're gonna be pope-ular," she sang.
"I'm sorry, what? Wait, this sucks? This whole thing sucks? I'm embarrassing myself in front of Elton John?" she said, pretending to talk into an earpiece.
"Let's get to the next one, the one about the penguin, insane in the Penguin. That sucks as well? And nobody says Penguin that way?"
Emilia Pérez star's message in dress
Emilia Pérez stunned as the big winner of the night, putting the controversial musical in good stead for the rest of the awards season.
The musical won awards for Best Picture in a Musical/Comedy, Best Original Song, Best Picture — non-English, and Best Supporting Actress.
Accepting the award with the cast for Best Picture, the film's star Karla Sofía Gascón told the crowd she wore the dress because she had a message.
"The light always wins over darkness.
"You never can take away our soul, our resistance or identity. And I want to say to you, raise your voice, and say I am who I am — not who you want."
Written and directed by French auteur Jacques Audiard, Emilia Pérez is a Spanish-language musical crime comedy about a Mexican cartel leader who wants to disappear and transition to become a woman. It's based on Écoute, a novel by Boris Razon.
While some critics have celebrated the film, US LGBTQI organisation GLAAD has called it a "profoundly retrograde portrayal of a trans woman", while Mexican audiences have criticised its depiction of cartels and Mexican culture, with Audiard admitting he did little research prior to writing.
Aussie nominees miss out
Between Spanish-language musical Emilia Pérez and Latvian animation Flow, there was no shortage of international winners at this year's Globes.
Unfortunately, none of that worldwide love made it to the Australian representatives with not one Aussie taking home a statue.
In some categories, like Adam Elliott's Memoir of a Snail in Best Animation, the Australian nominees were underdogs, so it wasn't too much of an upset when they missed out.
But in the case of Best Actress in a Motion Picture — Drama, Nicole Kidman's turn in erotic thriller Babygirl had been the frontrunner for weeks. This is why it was so surprising when Fernanda Torres's name was called out for her performance in political drama, I'm Still Here.
We can't be too upset, Torres's performance was lauded by critics far and wide and she gave an absolutely beautiful speech that honoured her mother, Brazilian actress Fernanda Montenegro.
Kidman was also snubbed for a nomination at the upcoming Critics Choice Awards, but we can still keep our fingers crossed for the Oscars.
Shogun sweeps TV awards
Shogun took home four awards in the TV category: Best Television Show, Best Female Actor — Drama Television Series, Best Supporting Male Actor and Best Television Male Actor — Drama Series.
That was all the awards it was up for on Sunday, local time, which is an impressive follow from its Emmy's performance last year where it made history winning by 18 awards.
"Nothing about this show has ever been expected," said co-creator, executive producer and writer Justin Marks, accepting the award for Best Television Show.
"It was made on the backs of thousands of fearless yeses that we received over the years."
Asano's humble win
While we are on Shogun, Tadanobu Asano's win for Best Supporting Male Actor was one of the sweetest of the evening.
"Wow! So, maybe you don't know me, so I'm an actor from Japan. My name is Tadanobu Asano," he said.
"Wow! Thank you so much! Thank you so much.
He tells the audience he has to go back to Tokyo to continue shooting, describing the award as a "very big present for me".
And it was a well-earned gift.
Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Yeoh serve cringe
Just kidding, they could never.
Presenting the award for the Best Film Song, Jeff Goldblum tells the audience people have started calling him "Zaddy".
"What's Zaddy?" Michelle Yeoh retorted.
"The same people have been saying that I'm serving Mother," she continues, acting confused by the phrase.
"And slay the boots house down?
"Come on, I would never slay anyone's house down."
(Those of us who have seen Wicked would care to disagree).
Lookalikes take the red carpet
Normally the red carpet is exclusive for actors, directors, producers and their partners.
This year the Golden Globes opened it up to people who looked like actors too.
