The biggest night in film and TV is here, with Hollywood's finest descending upon the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, California, for the 2025 Golden Globes.
The awards show is being hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser and is honoring the biggest movies, shows, actors, actresses, writers, and directors from the past year.
The event, which kicked off at 8pm EST/5pm PST and is streaming live on CBS and Paramount+, has already been filled with drama.
It began with Nikki making a brutal joke about jailed rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs - and social media was not pleased with her comment.
Baby Reindeer star Jessica Gunning also had an awkward moment on stage when she narrowly avoided flashing the audience while giving a speech.
In addition, Jodie Foster was heckled by her fellow nominee Sofía Vergara after she took to the stage to accept an award.
One star even sparked engagement rumors thanks to a big rock on her finger, while another left fans concerned due to her frail appearance.
Before it began, many of the stars walked the red carpet in stunning and extravagant looks - but others arrived in eyebrow-raising and shocking ensembles.
Follow along for updates throughout the night, including the best and worst outfits, all the dramatic moments, the winners, and more.
