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

Brady Corbet won the Golden Globe for best director for "The Brutalist."

This is Corbet's first win and his first nomination.

In his acceptance speech, Corbet called the honor "extraordinarily meaningful for a film like this, that once, a few short months ago, had the odds very much stacked against it."

"I would also be remiss not to mention that I am humbled to be in such excellent company: filmmakers I genuinely admire," he added.

Other nominees in the category included Jacques Audiard for "Emilia Pérez," Sean Baker for "Anora," Edward Berger for "Conclave," Coralie Fargeat for "The Substance" and Payal Kapadia for "All We Imagine as Light."

Sebastian Stan won the Golden Globe for best performance by a male actor in a motion picture (musical or comedy) for "A Different Man."

This is Stan's first Golden Globe win.

In his speech, Stan thanked his co-star Adam Pearson and director Aaron Schimberg and said that he shared the award with them.

"Our ignorance and discomfort around disability and disfigurement has to end now," he said. "We have to normalize it and continue to expose ourselves to it and our children, encourage acceptance. One way we can do that is by continuing to champion stories that are inclusive."

"This was not an easy movie to make," he continued. "Neither is 'The Apprentice,' the other film that I was lucky to be a part of and that I am proud to be in. These are tough subject matters, but these films are real, and they are necessary, and we can't be afraid and look away."

At the end of his speech, Stan dedicated his award to his mom, who he said left Romania "in search of a better life and gave me everything," as well as his stepfather, who he said "took on a single mom and a grown-up kid."

Other nominees in the category included Jesse Eisenberg for "A Real Pain," Hugh Grant for "Heretic," Gabriel LaBelle for "Saturday Night," Jesse Plemons for "Kinds of Kindness" and Glen Powell for "Hit Man."

Stan is also nominated for best performance by a male actor in a motion picture (drama) for "The Apprentice."

"Flow" won the Golden Globe for best motion picture (animated).

Other nominees in the category included "Inside Out 2," "Memoir of a Snail," "Moana 2," "Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl" and "The Wild Robot."

Demi Moore won the Golden Globe for best performance by a female actor in a motion picture (musical or comedy) for "The Substance."

This is Moore's first Golden Globe win.

"I'm just in shock right now," Moore said in her speech. "I've been doing this a long time … and this is the first time I've ever won anything as an actor."

"Thirty years ago, I had a producer tell me that I was a popcorn actress, and at that time, I made that mean that this wasn't something I was allowed to have. That I could do movies that were successful, that made a lot of money, but that I couldn't be acknowledged, and I bought in, and I believed that," Moore said. "That corroded me over time, to the point where I thought a few years ago that maybe this was it, maybe I was complete, maybe I'd done what I was supposed to do."

"As I was at kind of a low point, I had this magical, bold, courageous, out-of-the-box, absolutely bonkers script come across my desk called 'The Substance,' and the universe told me that you're not done," she continued.

Moore expressed her thanks to her director, Coralie Fargeat, and her co-star, Margaret Qualley, for supporting her on the project.

"I'll just leave you with one thing that I think this movie is imparting. In those moments when we don't think we are smart enough or pretty enough or skinny enough or successful enough or basically just not enough, I had a woman say to me, 'Just know you will never be enough, but you can know the value of your worth if you just put down the measuring stick,'" she said. "So today, I celebrate this as a marker of my wholeness and of the love that is driving me and the gift of doing something I love and being reminded that I do belong. Thank you so much."

Other nominees in the category included Amy Adams for "Nightbitch," Cynthia Erivo for "Wicked," Karla Sofía Gascón for "Emilia Pérez," Mikey Madison for "Anora" and Zendaya for "Challengers."
