The 82nd annual Golden Globe Awards celebrated a variety of winners across film and television, highlighting exceptional talent and groundbreaking projects. Among the major winners of the night were Emilia Pérez, The Brutalist, Shogun, Hack, and Baby Reindeer, showcasing a wide range of storytelling and creative excellence.
In the individual categories, the honors went to prominent actors such as Zoe Saldaña, Fernanda Torres, Adrien Brody, Kieran Culkin, Jean Smart, Jeremy Allen White, Colin Farrell, Anna Sawai, Sebastian Stan, Demi Moore, Jodie Foster, and Ali Wong. These winners represent a mix of seasoned performers and rising stars, each recognized for their outstanding contributions to the industry.
Revamping the Golden Globes
The Golden Globe Awards have undergone significant changes in recent years, with a renewed focus on inclusivity and diversity in its voting body. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s (HFPA) assets, rights, and properties were acquired by Dick Clark Productions and Eldridge, marking a new chapter for the awards.
Instead of the traditional HFPA membership, a globally diverse group of journalists now selects the nominees and winners. These journalists represent a multitude of countries and cultures, ensuring that the awards reflect a broader and more inclusive perspective on entertainment.
Dick Clark Productions, which now owns and produces the Golden Globe Awards, operates under Penske Media Eldridge, a joint venture between Penske Media Corporation and Eldridge. This partnership also oversees other prominent media brands, including The Hollywood Reporter. With these changes, the Golden Globes aim to modernize their operations and maintain their relevance in an evolving industry while embracing a commitment to diversity and transparency.
The Ceremony
The 82nd ceremony was broadcast live from the iconic Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, California, airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+ to reach a global audience. Emmy-winning producers Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner returned as showrunners for the second consecutive year, ensuring a seamless and engaging production. Their expertise brought a polished and dynamic presentation to the event, blending star-studded moments with heartfelt speeches and celebratory performances.
The winners and nominees of this year’s Golden Globes reflect the entertainment industry’s growing emphasis on innovation, inclusivity, and storytelling that resonates across cultures. With its revamped structure and diverse voting body, the Golden Globes continue to celebrate the best in entertainment while adapting to the ever-changing landscape of global media.
