Golden Globes 2025: Health fears, engagement announcement and P. Diddy joke backlash
Share:
The Golden Globes 2025 are the talk of the town with their fair share of buzzworthy moments from a night that sparkled with celebrity presence. Despite whispers of backstage drama threatening to throw a spanner in the works, the ceremony went off without a hitch, thanks in large part to Nikki Glaser's stellar job as the first woman to fly solo hosting the bash, while A-listers snatched up the much-envied trophies.
The soirée had its lulls, but it was the jaw-droppers that really set tongues wagging. Setting the scene, glitzy fashion statements on the red carpet were the order of the day, with the likes of Ariana Grande, Zendaya, Glen Powell, and Mindy Kaling serving stunning looks. Zendaya, in particular, caused quite the stir by flaunting what looked like a diamond ring, sparking speculations of an engagement to Tom Holland, although she kept mum about the meaning behind the bling.
In a surprising twist, the event was marred by an uncomfortable moment when an interviewer faced backlash for posing a distasteful question to Ariana Grande about her grandmother. Aubrey Plaza was notably absent from presenting duties at the awards gala after the sad news of her husband Jeff Baena's passing.
Nikki Glaser captured hearts with her opening speech, kick-starting a redemption arc after Jo Koy's controversial performance as host the year prior. Nevertheless, not all her punchlines hit the mark, like a bold quip aimed at Sean "Diddy" Combs, currently in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center facing allegations he vehemently denies including sex trafficking and racketeering charges, to which he has pleaded not guilty in court.
