Golden Globes 2025 live updates: Host Nikki Glaser impresses the room as Demi Moore and Emilia Pérez win big

Zendaya arrived at the 2025 Golden Globes with a massive diamond ring on her ring finger. The 28-year-old has been dating Tom Holland for four years.

Outside The Beverly Hilton hotel, Zendaya posed in front of the cameras, flashing an oval diamond set on a thin gold band. There is no word on whether the ring could be for an engagement — and possible future wedding — but it was spotted by cameras and social media users.

However, Gomez lost in the former category to her fellow co-host Saldaña, who herself beat category favourite Ariana Grande, who had been nominated for Wicked.

Gomez was overjoyed for her co-star, though, and showing she had no problem with losing, stood up and jumped up and down, applauding as Saldaña graced the stage.

Demi Moore has won Best Actress in a Comedy for her role in The Substance.

“I’ve been doing this for 45 years and this is the first time I’ve ever won anything as an actor,” while it’s not strictly true, it is Moore’s first major award win in her career.

The Independent’s Louis Chilton predicted Mikey Madison would win for Anora.

“This category has several deserving winners this year — Zendaya deserves recognition for her stunning turn as the lone woman in Challengers‘ messy tennis love triangle, as does Demi Moore, who was haunting and unexpected in the maximalist body horror The Substance,” wrote Chilton.

“But it’s hard to see anyone beating Madison, who emerged from relative obscurity (unless you’re a Better Things fan, that is) to electrify Anora every minute she’s on screen. This category is Musical or Comedy, after all, and Madison’s Ani is by far the funniest performance on this list.”

Glaser spoke to CNN last week, confessing that she thinks the 36-year-old Top Gun: Maverick star is “hot.”

Powell belatedly responded to the comedian’s praise during the Golden Globes red carpet on January 5, telling CNN: “Nikki, I feel the same way. You won the genetic lottery (and) you’re funny as hell.”

Later, during her opening monologue, Glaser teased Powell, joking that she would see him later that night.

Jodie Foster won her category for her role in True Detective: Night Country, just as The Independent’s Adam White predicted.

“The Wolf of Wall Street’s Cristin Milioti was the breakout surprise of the DC Comics show The Penguin, playing a furious and psychopathic heiress to a mob fortune,” wrote White.

“It’s annoyingly likely that she’ll be overlooked here, though, in favour of one of the bigger names in this star-stacked category. We just about give the edge to Jodie Foster, though, for working wonders in a True Detective revival that became increasingly baffling as it went on.”

Emilia Pérez takes home its second Globe of the night for Best Motion Picture: Non-English Language.

Glaser made several safe jokes about this year’s nominees and generated huge laughter from the crowd — but one joke didn’t land so well.

“Zendaya, you were incredible in Dune,” she said, adding: “Oh my God, I woke up for all of your scenes. You were so good… and Challengers, girl? Oh my God! That movie was more sexually charged than Diddy’s credit card, I mean seriously.”

She continued: “I’m sorry, I’m upset too. The afterparty is not going to be as good this year, but we have to move on. I know a Stanley Tucci freak off doesn’t have the same ring to it. No baby oil this year, just lots of olive oil.”

The crowd of A-listers in the room sighed and groaned at the joke that has been branded “gross” and “crazy” by viewers.
