Surprise: Teyana Taylor Wins Best Supporting Actress
The competition was fierce in the Best Supporting Actress category, with many assuming “Sentimental Value” star Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas had it in the bag, while Amy Madigan’s performance in “Weapons” also garnered attention. Yet, it was Teyana Taylor who stole the show with her explosive performance in “One Battle After Another,” securing a win that left many both shocked and thrilled.
Snub: Best Original Score Not Televised
Despite the myriad of Golden Globes categories, viewers noted the absence of the Best Original Score award from the live broadcast. Many were left questioning the organization’s decision, feeling that precious airtime could have been devoted to honoring the achievements in music over certain comedic skits.
Snub: Ryan Coogler’s ‘Sinners’ Misses Best Screenplay
The screenplay category delivered one of the evening’s biggest surprises. Expectations were set for Ryan Coogler to take home the award for “Sinners,” yet it was Paul Thomas Anderson who emerged victorious. Anderson was anticipated to win for directing “One Battle After Another,” but the results defied predictions.
Snub: Lack of Film Clips in the First Hour
The absence of film clips during the first hour left many longtime viewers wanting. Clips are often a cherished aspect of the Golden Globes, providing viewers with a glimpse of the nominated works. The omission led to a lack of the cinematic atmosphere that typically enhances the event’s allure.

Amy Poehler made history by winning the inaugural podcast award, a testament to her podcast’s unique charm and appeal. Despite only launching on March 18, 2025, it has captured the hearts of many listeners, showing the dynamic evolution of the entertainment industry.
Surprise: Energetic DJ Performance
The night was punctuated by an unexpected highlight: the DJ’s vibrant interstitial music. Watching Stellan Skarsgård and Macaulay Culkin take the stage to lively tracks by Usher and Mark Morrison, respectively, added an entertaining and surreal flair to the proceedings.
The Golden Globes continue to unfold, offering a blend of expected outcomes and unpredictable moments. As the night progresses, viewers remain keenly tuned in, eager for what’s next in the world of cinematic celebration.
