The 82nd Annual Golden Globes kicked off on Sunday evening, 5 January 2025, at the iconic Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.
Hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, the ceremony returned to live television in the US, airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
This year’s Golden Globes arrived with heightened anticipation, thanks to a strong lineup of nominees and significant changes following past controversies surrounding the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA).
High-profile films like Dune: Part Two, The Brutalist, and Nickel Boys led the nominations, while Succession, The Bear, and The White Lotus were favourites in the television categories.
The red carpet, as always, was a major highlight, with stars showcasing stunning ensembles that set social media abuzz. Though South African audiences could not watch the event live—owing to MultiChoice’s decision not to simulcast the ceremony—the allure of Hollywood’s biggest names ensured global interest in the outcomes.
