‘I’m Still Here’ star Fernanda Torres pulls off Golden Globes’ biggest upset

In the only real upset of the night, Fernanda Torres won for lead actress in a motion picture drama for her role in “I’m Still Here.” The Brazilian actress beat out higher-profile stars Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Kate Winslet, Tilda Swinton and Pamela Anderson.
“My God, I didn’t prepare anything,” Torres said, scanning the audience from the stage. “This is such an amazing year for female performances. So many actresses here that I admire so much.”
Demi Moore wins first-ever acting award for ‘The Substance’: Read her Golden Globes speech
Demi Moore on the red carpet at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards on Sunday.
Demi Moore’s emotional acceptance speech on Sunday seemed to jolt awake a sleepy Golden Globes ceremony. Moore’s first win — after three career nominations, including one for “Ghost” back in 1991 — came for female lead actor in a motion picture musical or comedy for “The Substance.”
The darkly satiric film, written and directed by Coralie Fargeat, has captured something in the moment about women, aging and media, inspiring memes, conversations and countless Halloween costumes. In the film, Moore plays Elisabeth Sparkle, an actress turned television fitness guru who is unceremoniously dismissed for being too old. She turns to an underground drug, known only as “the substance,” to create a younger, more perfect version of herself, played by Margaret Qualley. Elisabeth and her double soon find themselves locked into a battle for control of their life.
What’s that ring on Zendaya’s finger?
Zendaya, who made her way to her seat with five minutes to spare before the telecast began, entered the ballroom amid a slew of other A-listers, including Angelina Jolie, Cate Blanchett and Andrew Garfield, who helped her carry her train down the stairs so she wouldn’t trip.
We also spotted a massive diamond on her left ring finger, which was noticeably not highlighted in a Bvlgari press release touting the rest of the jewelry she wore this evening.
A rep could not immediately be reached, but as Zendaya exited the ballroom, a recently engaged Times reporter held up her left ring finger and pointed at it. The actor responded by flashing her own bling on her left hand, doing a sort of jazz-fingers motion. “Are you engaged?” The Times asked. She kept showing her ring, smiled coyly and shrugged her shoulders mysteriously. Judge for yourselves, dear readers.
Golden Globes 2025: Winners list

The 82nd Golden Globe Awards, hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, aired Sunday at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills — or on CBS and Paramount+, if you weren’t lucky enough to score a ticket.
The three-hour broadcast was fill of funny, stunning and memorable moments, from Glaser’s extra spicy roast jokes to heartfelt speeches from the world’s biggest actors, writers and directors of the shows and films we were obsessed with throughout 2024. Among the many big winners Sunday night were the bewitching musical film “Wicked,” the Hulu series “Shōgun” and the Netflix film “Emilia Perez” as well as the Oscar-winning “Baby Raindeer” and Max’s well-established run-away comedy hit “Hacks.”
Below is the list of all the 2025 Golden Globe winners.
The best and worst moments of the 2025 Golden Globes, as they happened
8:20 p.m. Up: Demi Moore, Fernanda Torres, Adrien Brody, Nikki Glaser, Jeremy Strong’s green bucket hat, “The Brutalist” and “Emilia Pérez.” Down: “Anora,” any TV show that didn’t win an Emmy in 2024, viewers who tuned in for the “year’s wildest awards show.” — G.W.
8:17 p.m. I guess it goes to show you: The Globes may be more respectable these days, but they can still be massively disappointing. — M.B.
8:14 p.m. Ooooof. “Emilia Pérez” takes it. So “Anora,” a vastly superior movie, comes away with nothing this evening. At least Audiard turned the mic over to Gascón, wisely. This uneven movie has taken some lumps on social media, but voters across the board have been with it all the way. Don’t underestimate it. — G.W.
8:11 p.m. Brady Corbet is giving a 3½-hour acceptance speech. — M.B.

Inside Nikki Glaser’s Golden Globes hosting prep: Getting sage advice and testing jokes around L.A.
Comedian, actress, writer, musician, podcaster, and roast master mommy Nikki Glaser has had an eventful year. Treasured in comedy for her unfiltered takes on sex, relationships and personal insecurities, Glaser’s fearlessness has earned her a dedicated fan following. But this year has been somewhat different for several roasty reasons.
“Winning” Netflix’s live “Roast of Tom Brady” catapulted Glaser‘s reputation worldwide as a sharp-tongued killer, opening doors that had been shut tight. On Jan. 5, she will make history as the first woman to host solo at the 82nd Golden Globes, and there is no telling who will find themselves in her comedic crosshairs.
Here are the nominees for tonight’s Golden Globes

Golden Globes voters may not be known as the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. anymore, but Monday’s nominations for the 82nd edition of the awards certainly had an international flavor.
“Emilia Pérez” — a Mexico-set, Spanish-language musical by a French director — and “The Brutalist” — about a Hungarian emigré architect in America — led the field on the motion picture side with 10 and seven nominations, respectively.
