Demi Moore and more stars react to their 2025 Golden Globes nominations

Demi Moore, Denzel Washington, Nicole Kidman and Ariana Grande are among the stars reacting to their 2025 Golden Globes nominations.

Moore took to Instagram to share two videos celebrating nominations for "The Substance," including a personal nomination for best performance by a female actor in a motion picture (musical or comedy) and the film's nomination for best motion picture (musical or comedy).

"The best news to wake up to -- @trythesubstance was nominated for five @goldenglobes!!" wrote Moore in the caption of the post. "Truly honored to be nominated and so proud of this film. Congratulations to Margaret and Coralie, and all the other nominees 🎉🥳." Moore also posted an Instagram story congratulating director Coralie Fargeat and co-star Margaret Qualley on their nominations.

Washington detailed his experience filming "Gladiator II" -- the film that earned him his 11th nomination, the most of any Black performer at the Golden Globes -- after being nominated in the best performance by a male actor in a supporting role in any motion picture category.

"Before I even worked with Sir Ridley Scott, I was a fan of his movies and his talent. But then he invited me into his tent (most recently into his Colosseum of GLADIATOR II) and the entire experience has been stunning," Washington said in a statement. "The sheer size of this particular production and the incredible cast of actors and crew he assembled, not to mention what he literally built of ancient Rome, humbles me – it humbled me every day on set. And giving me Macrinus – to embody, to enjoy, to create – what an incredible honor this is, and has been."

There are 26 first-time Golden Globes nominees this year, some of which include Adam Brody, Anna Sawai, Ariana Grande, Dakota Fanning, Glen Powell, Hiroyuki Sanada, Kathryn Hahn, Pamela Anderson and Zoe Saldaña.

Three performers are also double acting nominees this year, including Kate Winslet (for "Lee" and "The Regime"), Sebastian Stan (for "The Apprentice" and "A Different Man") and Selena Gomez (for "Emelia Pérez" and "Only Murders in the Building").

A COMPLETE UNKNOWN was a 5 year labor of love for me, so it is very moving to receive this distinction," Chalamet said in a statement. "While on the surface 1960s Greenwich Village would look to have little in common with Arrakis, it was the open mindedness and groundbreaking culture of the 1960s in America that has ultimately given birth to these projects some 60 years later. THANK YOU."
