Golden Globes Awards winners | CTV News
The 82nd Golden Globes kicked off with host Nikki Glaser jokingly referring to it as “Ozempic’s biggest night.” Glaser, known for her sharp wit, took jabs at Hollywood stars in her opening monologue, making the audience laugh with her well-crafted jokes.
The night’s first winner was Zoe Saldaña for best supporting actress for her role in “Emilia Perez,” a trans musical that received 10 nominations. French director Jacques Audiard also took home an award for best non-English language film for the same movie. Kieran Culkin emerged as a strong contender for best supporting actor, winning for his performance in “A Real Pain.”
On the TV front, “Shōgun” continued its winning streak with Hiroyuki Sanada and Tadanobu Asano taking home awards for best actor and best supporting actor in a drama series, respectively. Ali Wong won for best stand-up comedy performance, while Jean Smart received the award for best lead actress in a comedy series for “Hacks.”
The Golden Globes, now owned by Todd Boehly’s Eldridge Industries and Dick Clark Productions, have stabilized after a rocky few years. The show aims to serve as a marketing event for awards contenders, with this year’s top contenders leaning towards more arthouse films. With no clear favorite yet, the race to the Academy Awards on March 2 remains wide open.
As Hollywood gears up for the awards season, most nominees have stayed away from politics, with the exception of “The Apprentice,” a drama starring Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong. The show has received nominations, with Stan also getting a nod for his performance in “A Different Man.”
Overall, the Golden Globes proved to be a successful night, with laughter, tears, and plenty of surprises. As the industry looks ahead to the Oscars, the unpredictable nature of this year’s awards season promises an exciting ride for both fans and industry insiders alike.
