Golden Globes 2025 recap: Biggest moments from the 82nd annual awards show

Viola Davis was honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award at a gala dinner Friday night at the Beverly Hilton.

The Cecil B. DeMille Award, which was first created in 1952, honors iconic Hollywood talents "for outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment," according to the Golden Globes website.

"I feel like someone just set me on fire," Davis said in her acceptance speech.

Davis went on to detail challenges she overcame early in life, saying her younger self wouldn't believe the family, friends and career she counts as blessings today.

"Little Viola is squealing," the actress said. "She's standing behind me now and she's pulling on my dress."

Davis, who won a Golden Globe Award in 2017 for her role in "Fences," has also been nominated for her roles in "Doubt," "The Help," "How to Get Away with Murder," "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" and "The Woman King."

Three-time Golden Globe winner Ted Danson received the Carol Burnett Award, which honors his prolific career in entertainment, at an event on Friday.

Danson's expansive career includes starring roles in "Cheers," "The Good Place" and "A Man on the Inside."

Danson shouted out the award's namesake, Carol Burnett, who was in attendance at the event, in his acceptance speech.

"I am so thrilled to get this award, Carol. I cannot tell you how much it means to me," he gushed. "You have brought so much joy and happiness into households all over the world. You radiate kindness. I love you so much."

Burnett returned the admiration, yelling "I love you" from the audience.

Danson is also expected to be recognized during tonight's ceremony.
