THE Golden Globe Awards 2025 delivered a series of shock wins – as Emilia Pérez took home four awards and Wicked was snubbed.

Demi Moore became a first-time Golden Globes winner aged 62 for Best Actress – musical or comedy – in The Substance, beating the likes of Amy Adams (Nightbitch), Cynthia Erivo (Wicked) and Zendaya (Challengers).

In an emotional acceptance speech, Ghost star Demi said she was “at a low point” and considering quitting the industry when she was sent the script for The Substance.

“The universe told me, ‘you are not done’,” said Demi, who plays a woman who trades her body for a younger, more beautiful version of herself.

“I’ve been doing this a long time – like over 45 years – and this is the first time I’ve ever won anything as an actor.”

She is now leading the race to Oscars success after the awards season kicked off in Hollywood last night.

Another major surprise of the night was Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Kate Winslet and Pamela Anderson losing to Fernanda Torres.

The 59-year-old Brazilian won Best Actress – Drama for I’m Still Here.

After pulling off an upset, she told the star-studded crowd: “I didn’t prepare anything because I was glad already [to be nominated].”

Meanwhile Baby Reindeer and Shōgun won the big TV prizes and epic period drama film The Brutalist won three gongs – but Conclave and Anora went home empty handed.

It was also a disappointing night for Ariana Grande whose hit film Wicked lost out on the big awards.

It was handed the gong for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement after making $450.7million in seven weeks – but fans say the musical was “robbed”.

Pop star Ariana was pipped to the post for best supporting actress in Emilia Pérez by Zoe Saldaña.

Sebastian Stan was named best actor in a musical or comedy for A Different Man.

He plays a character with a disfiguring facial condition and told crowds: “Our ignorance and discomfort around disability and disfigurement has to end now, we have to normalise it and continue to expose ourselves to it, and our children, encourage acceptance.”

Kieran Culkin was triumphant over his Succession co-star Jeremy Strong in the best supporting actor category.

He won for his performance in A Real Pain, about two cousins who travel across Poland in memory of their grandmother.
