Jodie Foster can count another plaudit in an illustrious career: She just won the Golden Globe for best female actor in a limited series, anthology series or motion picture made for television.

Colin Farrell has won the award for best performance by a male actor in a limited series, anthology series, or a motion picture made for television.

Farrell is being recognized for his role as a classic Batman villain in “The Penguin,” in which he performed in heavy prosthetics.

In a big win for the film that entered tonight with the most nominations of any movie, “Emilia Pérez” has won the award for best non-English language film.

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart,” a translator for French film director Jacques Audiard said on his behalf, while accepting the award. “Thank you for celebrating with us a certain idea of lunacy.”

He went on to say that he does not have sisters, which could be why he decided to make the film, which focuses on sisterhood.

“If there were more sisters in the world, maybe it would be a better place,” Audiard said through his translator.

According to the Golden Globes, Audiard originally wrote “Emilia Pérez” as an opera with four different acts. The story, which includes both English and Spanish throughout, is based on the 2018 novel “Écoute” by Boris Razon.

The thriller-musical led Golden Globe nominations with 10 nods.

Ali Wong has won the award for best performance in stand-up comedy on television for her special, “Single Lady.”

This is just the second time the Globes has recognized someone for best performance in stand-up comedy on television, which was added last year along with an award for cinematic and box office achievement for films.

It is Wong’s second Golden Globe nomination and second win. She previously won best actress in a limited series for her performance in Netflix’s road rage drama “Beef.”

In her thank you speech, Wong acknowledged the support she received from her home city, San Francisco.

“I come from San Fran and that’s where I started doing stand-up, and I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for all the stage time I got there and all the practice that I got to become a stand-up comedian,” she said.

“I really want to thank Molly Schminke from the SF Punch Line comedy club and yeah, my best friend is here — Mia thank you so much for all your love and support over the years.”

In her show, Wong talked about her amicable split from ex-husband Justin Hakuta and her now boyfriend, Bill Hader.

Host Nikki Glaser was also nominated tonight.

Can we please just get Jennifer Coolidge to present all of the awards?

While presenting the award for best male actor in a musical or comedy, the “White Lotus” star hailed the men “who had the daunting task of carrying an entire series on their shoulders.”

“And believe me it’s not easy,” she said. “Like I do know how hard it is for you guys to have to pretend to be nice to everybody.”

Coolidge proceeded to exercise her trademark zany humor, joking about being on a job once where the lead male actor “was the only one that got green juice.”

“I don’t want to seem petty or anything, but I remember being on this other job and it was with Billy Bob Thornton and he was allowed to bring his pet coyote,” she said. “And I wasn’t even allowed to bring my overweight triplets.”

She then noted that she was able to bring them tonight and shouted out “Sheila and Sheila and Sheila!”

Stifler’s mom can always make us giggle.

“Conclave,” the thrilling tale of the secretive process to select a new pope, has won the award for best screenplay for a motion picture.

“Thank you, I am just one pure ball of gratitudes,” screenwriter Peter Straughan said. This is Straughan’s first nomination and first win.

More on the film: “Conclave,” directed by Edward Berger, brings to life the heady mix of mystery, ritual, tradition and — most of all — politics that defines the secretive process of selecting a new pope. It stars a stellar cast of Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, Isabella Rossellini and John Lithgow.

CNN’s Christopher Lamb contributed reporting.

Jeremy Allen White has won the Golden Globe for best performance by a male actor in a television series — musical or comedy.

White did not attend the award show, so presenter Jennifer Coolidge accepted the award on his behalf.

More about the series: In Hulu and FX’s beloved culinary series, White plays Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, the nervy, ultra-talented chef who returns to his hometown of Chicago following the tragic death of his brother. The chance to take over his family’s restaurant comes with a return to the Berzattos’ fraught relationships and past traumas.

The show is buoyed by a stellar supporting cast as it explores Carmy’s personal and professional life through the brooding performance of White.

CNN’s Matt Meyer contributed reporting.

It’s another win for “Shōgun,” as Tadanobu Asano takes home the award for best male supporting actor in a television series.

Asano has won the first Golden Globe he has been nominated for.

“Maybe you don’t know me, so I’m actually from Japan my name is Tadanobu Asano,” the winner said.

“Wow. Thank you so much. Thank you so much!”

Asano said he was in the middle of filming, and had to return to Tokyo, Japan after tonight’s show but would be returning with “a very big present.”

Jessica Gunning has won the Golden Globe for female supporting actor in a TV series for her work as an unhinged stalker in “Baby Reindeer.”

This is Gunning’s first nomination and win. “This is an absolute honor, honestly,” she began her acceptance speech.

Gunning shared a charming story about receiving a hamster as a child from her parents and in a video of that moment, she said she kept saying, “I can’t believe this is happening to me.”

“And I realized this morning that has been a kind of soundtrack for my life for this last year” since “Baby Reindeer” came out, she added. “I cannot believe any of this is happening to me.”

She then thanked the cast and crew of “Baby Reindeer,” specifically creator of the show and her costar, Richard Gadd. “’Baby Reindeer’ has changed my life in ways that I can’t even explain, so thank you for everything.”

The hit Netflix show is a twisty and engrossing tale involving stalking, grooming, abuse and artistic license. “Baby Reindeer” was a sensation when it debuted and has since remained a focus of attention, with some of the real-life players behind it disputing the story’s veracity.

Nikki Glaser tried it.

As part of her hosting duties she tried a bit which combined “Wicked” and “Conclave.”

Yes, “Glicked” was a thing, with “Wicked” and “Gladiator II” being released at the same time, but trying to mix the “Wicked” musical with the religious drama “Conclave” was a bit devilish.

But there Glaser was, with a wand and a cardinal’s hat (or maybe the actual pope hat? It was hard to tell) singing “You’re gonna be Pope-ular.”

The number didn’t go long before Glaser mimed getting a note from producers in her earpiece letting her know the number “sucked.”

But truly, God – and the pope – bless Glaser for mixing it up a bit.

Hiroyuki Sanada has won the Golden Globe for best male actor in a TV drama for his role in “Shōgun.”

“Thank you for everyone who has been in my life. All of you have brought me here,” Sanada said while accepting his award.

This is the actor’s first nomination and Golden Globe award.

Sanada offered advice to young actors and creators in his acceptance speech: “Please be yourself. Believe in yourself and never give up. Good luck.”

FX and Hulu’s historical drama, based on James Clavell’s influential 1975 novel, is nominated in four categories at tonight’s Golden Globes. “Shōgun” dominated the last Emmy Awards, winning 18 of its 25 nominations and becoming the first non-English TV show to win for outstanding drama series.

CNN’s Sandra Gonzalez contributed reporting.

“The Substance” stars Margaret Qualley and Demi Moore hilariously evoked their Golden Globe-nominated film while presenting the best male actor in a drama series category on Sunday.

“What are you doing here?” Moore asked Qualley. “This is my week… You have to respect the balance, remember?”

After they argued about how they were both nominated, Moore said, “We are one so, should we do this together?”

She was referencing, of course, how in their film “The Substance,” they were technically part of the same person and had to “respect the balance” and not invade on the time allotted for the other version of themselves.

Moore earned a nod for best performance by a female actor in a motion picture – musical or comedy for her performance in “The Substance” and Qualley was nominated in a supporting capacity for the film.

Kieran Culkin has taken home the Golden Globe for best performance by a male actor in a supporting role in any motion picture for his role in “A Real Pain.”

“I’m here because Jesse Eisenberg wrote an incredible script, he’s a fantastic director and screen partner,” he said of his costar and writer/director in his thank you speech.

Culkin also paid tribute to his colleagues, his mother and his wife in the speech.

“It’s like the best date night that my wife and I ever had so thanks Golden Globe people, you guys are nuts,” he said.

Jean Smart has won the Golden Globe for best female actor in a TV musical or comedy for her role in “Hacks.”

“I never thought I’d be so happy to be called a ‘Hack,’” Smart joked in her acceptance speech. “I have the most brilliant showrunners. I have a cast and crew sent from heaven,” she said.

Smart then went on to praise her co-star Hannah Einbinder. “Without Ava there would be no Debra,” she said.

“Thank you all so much for supporting the show and loving the show. Love you guys, thank you,” Smart said.

More on the show: The Max comedy series follows aging stand-up comedian Deborah Vance (played by Smart), who joins forces with the young comedy writer Ava Daniels (played by Einbinder). The third season of the Emmy-nominated show finds Vance trying to secure a gig as a late-night host, an opportunity she lost earlier in her career over sexism.

Zoe Saldaña has won the first award of the night for her role in “Emilia Pérez,” taking home the Golden Globe for best supporting female actor in a film.

“My heart is full of gratitude,” the actress said while tearfully accepting her first Golden Globe. It was also her first-ever nomination.

Saldaña thanked her fellow cast members, Netflix and fellow nominees, emotionally calling them “magic.”

Netflix’s “Emilia Pérez,” was directed by Jacques Audiard and is based on the 2018 novel “Écoute” by Boris Razon. In the film, the menacing cartel boss named Manitas enlists the help of Rita Moro Castro (Zoe Saldaña) with a secret he has long held private — his desire to transition to becoming a woman. Portrayed by Karla Sofía Gascón, Manitas’ journey to becoming Emilia Pérez is the heart of the movie, shepherded by Saldaña’s Rita and set against the struggles of Manitas’ uninformed and disillusioned wife Jessi (Selena Gomez). The trio of actresses, along with Adriana Paz, who plays Emilia’s love interest in the second half of the film, won the best actress prize as an ensemble at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year.

Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser started her opening monologue on Sunday night saying she won’t roast any of the actors in attendance.

That, in itself, was a joke, as Glaser went on to fully roast both nominees and attendees.

Referencing the viral “holding space” “Wicked” moment between Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande and Out Magazine journalist Tracy Gilchrist, Glaser spoke of how “scared” she is of the country’s current political state and asked Grande to “hold my finger.”

She went on to address double nominee Selena Gomez, who was accompanied by her fiancé Benny Blanco. Glaser joked that Blanco “is here because of the genie who granted him that wish. Wow, lucky guy.” She went on to joke that “Emilia Pérez,” the film for which Gomez is nominated, is the most “audacious” Netflix movie to autoplay after baking show “Is It Cake.”

Glaser joked that Golden Globe nominee Timothee Chalamet’s name sounds like it was made for Adam Sandler to say. Glaser then comically did a Sandler impression saying Chalamet’s last name, and when the camera cut to Sandler – who was in the audience – he hilariously said Chalamet’s name in his signature Sandler voice.

The “A Complete Unknown” star was seated at his table next to his girlfriend Kylie Jenner, who laughed along with Glaser’s jokes.

Glaser also thanked “Babygirl” star Nicole Kidman’s husband, country star Keith Urban, for endlessly “strumming” guitar around the house to make Kidman want to leave and make “18” movies per year.

Host Nikki Glaser is on stage for the opening monologue at tonight’s Golden Globes.

She opened with cracks about the show being “Ozempic’s biggest night,” referencing the popular weight loss drug, and made a crack about those watching at home on the streaming platform Paramount+ having six days left to cancel their free trials.

Glaser also became the first to dip into politics tonight, joking that the movers and shakers assembled in the room had the power to do many things — but apparently not influence who America votes for. “You’ll get ‘em next time,” Glaser quipped, pausing before adding, “If there is one.”

About the host: The comedian told CNN last week that, while she did vault to a new level of fame thanks to her performance at the roast of Tom Brady last spring, she knows Globes nominees are not necessarily signing up to be roasted at the event.

Glaser said she intends to deliver on the humor that got her noticed — and hopes the crowd in the ballroom at the Beverly Hilton and those watching on TV can all share some good laughs. She says that while you can anticipate some ribbing of the stars, the jokes will be “in the spirit of celebration and aren’t going too hard.”

She can count on at least one particularly receptive star among the attendees: In conversations with CNN, Glaser and actor Glen Powell — who’s nominated tonight for the comedy crime caper “Hit Man” — exchanged compliments.

This post has been updated with additional comments from Glaser’s monologue.

The stars have made their way from the red carpet to their seats at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles: It’s time for the 82nd Golden Globe Awards to get underway.

Follow along with our live coverage as we learn who wins in the major categories.

The stars of “Wicked,” Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, have arrived on the red carpet ahead of tonight’s award show.

Grande, like many of the stars arriving this evening, is wearing gold, while Erivo is in black with a bejeweled brocade overlay.

“Wicked” is nominated for best motion picture – musical or comedy. The nearly three-hour-long epic is the first installment of Jon M. Chu’s two-part cinematic adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical. The movie recounts events in the magical land of Oz that occurred before Dorothy’s arrival in “The Wizard of Oz.”

The movie premiered in theaters on November 22 of last year and has raked in over $640 million at the global box office, also nabbing the third highest-grossing opening weekend of 2024 behind “Deadpool & Wolverine” and “Inside Out 2.”

There’s a lot of love between Glen Powell and Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser.

That love manifested on the red carpet when CNN asked Powell his thoughts on Glaser telling CNN last week that she thinks Powell is “hot.”

“Nikki, I feel the same way,” Powell hilariously told CNN on Sunday’s red carpet. “You won the genetic lottery (and) you’re funny as hell.”

Powell, who was accompanied by his parents Cyndy Powell and Glen Powell Sr. on Sunday, continued to speak about how excited he is to see what Glaser does next, saying, “She’s come onto the scene, she deserved everything she’s getting. She is really taking over the world and is truly one of the funniest people doing it right now.”

Powell is nominated for best performance by a male actor in a motion picture – musical or comedy for “Hit Man.” The nod marks Powell’s first.
