Big Winners and Best Looks at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards

0:05So, welcome to another special episode of The Run Through. And today we are talking all things Golden Globes with Vogue Style Director Leah Faye Cooper and Deputy Editor Taylor Antrim. And it is very early in the morning and we were up very late. Anything for the Golden Globes. Yeah. Yes. True story. At like 6 p.m., Taylor texted me and Marley being like, Golden Globes tonight? I was like, are you kidding? It was such a nice Sunday and then it snuck up on me and I thought, oh my goodness. Let's get straight into it. Who did we think was best dressed of the evening? Oh, that's a hard one. Straight to the top.

0:44I think, I don't know if there was like a one person, but there were a few people who really stood out to me. Give us your five, Joma. For me, obviously, Mikey Madison, who I've been talking about a lot recently because I just think she's fantastic. I love Donora and I think she's going to get snapped up by one of these brands. And now she's kind of having fun experimenting. It's true. It's rare that someone who's so, has such frisson around her doesn't have a contract. Exactly. So she's able to experiment. And she wore Bottega, which is obviously potentially Mathieu Blasé's last red carpet look before he takes on Chanel, which we'll have to wait a while for because his first collection isn't until October.

1:27But I thought that was nice to see her. There were a couple of vintage moments. She looked like a goldfish. Yeah, she did look like a goldfish. Or a gold? Gold space fish. Space fish. Okay, just want to clear that up for the listeners. Speaking of Chanel, I thought Margaret Qualley in Chanel was really beautiful, super pretty. Anya Taylor-Joy, I'm always here for an archive Dior moment. And I thought that looked stunning with her kind of icy blonde hair and that very pale pink. Great to see the sort of finale dress from McQueen's fantastic show. I love Sean McGurr and I've kind of felt great to see it on Angelina Jolie.

2:09That was a major moment. You know, that's another house that isn't able to kind of have these big faces or contracts. So they're usually relying on people to really wear their clothes because they love them. And it was so good to see that look on Angelina. So I think those were some of my favorites. How about you, Leah? What did you like? I loved Naomi Watts. Oh, Naomi Watts is going on. In Schiaparelli. In Schiaparelli. In Schiaparelli. I thought Janelle James looked fab. What was she wearing? She was wearing Siriano. Oh, I did know that. Yes. But her little pixie cut was great. Yeah, the glam was really good.

2:49The glam was good. I'm here for a pixie cut because I have to say, oh, actually, special mention to Emma Stone looking amazing. Yes. With that pixie cut and that Vuitton was very pretty. And then I also loved Elle Fanning. I will say when I first saw it from a distance, I thought that it was like a leopard bralette top with a full skirt. Yeah. Which I would have been into. But then when I saw that it was actually a gown, like it looked like, it looked like a gown that was made. Who made the dress? I didn't catch it. Balmain. Balmain. Yeah, it looked like a gown that was made in the atelier, like you had to get an appointment like in 1950.

3:28I loved that. Yeah, it was very feeding into that Hollywood retro glam look that's been percolating for a past year, I feel. I also thought Coleman Domingo looked great in Valentino. But I always love everything that he wears. Fluffy, fluffy bow. It was very good. The bow is great. And a great volume. And I thought Andrew Garfield looked good, too. In his green. He needs to shave, though. A little pendant necklace. Men looked great. They did. The men looked great. There were a lot of men wearing green. Yeah, I don't know how we feel about Jeremy Strong. I don't know if I'm very... Oh, my gosh.

4:04There's a lot of accessories at once. It was great. I loved it. I loved it. A turtleneck, a bucket hat, and sunglasses? What was it? It's like... It's camp. Someone tell me. It's camp. I loved it. Do we know who made it? Oh, Laura Piano. Oh, it was Laura Piano. I just wondered. Very unusual look for Laura Piano. I do respect his commitment. Totally respect his commitment. I thought it was so fun. Adrian Brody looked really good too. Yeah, Adrian Brody for me, a three-piece suit. That's the way to do a three-piece suit. It was a winner's outfit. Yeah, it was a winner's outfit. I was surprised. For me, I thought Zoe Zaldana, who always looks fantastic.

4:43I loved the cape that she wore on the red carpet. But I didn't feel like her dress was quite low-key for a winner's look. Like she won. She could have gone with a more vibrant color. She could have, I mean, she could take, she could wear anything. I mean, Saint Laurent had a big night with all those, with the whole cast of Emilia Perez, I thought. They did. Because for those who don't know, Anthony Vaccarello and Saint Laurent produced Emilia Perez. And did they do all the clothes or they just consulted? Pretty much. I mean, watching, I felt like watching the film, I could spot all the Saint Laurent shoes.

5:18Oh, really? Yeah. It's like Where's Waldo? Yeah. Yeah, it was very, yeah, if you know your salon, it was a fun one to watch because you could tell all the clothes. Her dress was really simple, but I thought Zoe Kravitz looked very pretty. Always. Yeah, she always does. Always. Never misses. I've never seen her miss. Yeah. Do you guys think Amelia Perez is widely seen or not at all seen? No. Yeah, because we're a little skewed by our world, right? Like a lot of people in the book have seen it. No, I don't. I saw it, but I don't think that most of my friends have seen it. And actually, Nikki Glaser, when she came in, she was like, it's really hard doing jokes for this year because it's basically Wicked and Timothee Chalamet are the only thing that everyone knows.

6:02And she was like, Emilia Perez is nominated for 10 awards on Netflix, stars Selena Gomez. And she's like, not a single one of my friends have seen it. So how can I make a joke about it? And it's sort of true that it's just not something that's in common parlance. A lot of people might check it out now, though. I mean, it did really well. So I do think it's a very strange movie, though. So for me, I am not surprised that it has not become like a wicked. Yeah, Nikki Laser did like 10 minutes on Timothee Chalamet. She did. I love that. And she kept going back to Stanley Tucci as well. No, totally.

6:37He loved it. No, he loved it. He loved it. Yes, he loves the attention.

6:44What did you think of all the dresses Nikki Laser wore? I understood that she was going with like a metallic theme. And sometimes it works. She was also going, trying to be very femme because she was like, I want to knock him. I want to surprise everyone. I mean, like, she's so gorgeous. I thought the glam was great. I think it's hard to pull off that many dresses in one evening. And some of them had to be kind of, I mean, the Pope look was kind of obviously. I was saying that all morning when I was getting dressed. Want to be popular. I mean, I think she epitomized the night for me because it seemed like such an eager to please Golden Globes.

7:19And like it did please. Like it was a very enjoyable. I like that she was sort of the butt of her own jokes. Yeah. She was nodding herself too seriously. And I found that quite charming. She was barbed, but she wasn't like, you know, too harsh or ugly. You know, she just really, I thought she set the tone for the night. Yeah, she was great. I give her 10 out of 10. Yeah. Oh, wow, Choma. I don't know. That's a hard job. I was only laughing. I mean, I laugh a lot. I mean, I'm a laugher. So it's not that hard to get a joke out of me. But, like, she was funny. And it felt like she wasn't, like you said, it wasn't, like, below the belt too often.

7:55Yeah. She struck the right balance. You know who else was funny? Seth Rogen. When he criticized the really weird camera thing they were doing. And he was like, this is stupid. I was like, more Seth Rogen, please. Oh, my God. Can we talk about those little fun facts? The bubbles. Okay, obsessed with the bubble. Gene Smarts never had a day job outside of acting. No, I liked the pop-up video, like text bubbles. But the guy voiceovering, like filling the space with more facts, I was like, no, no, no, no. I did think the bit. It's like for those who can't read. They were like Snapple facts. I didn't have my glasses.

8:34I couldn't see it. So I appreciate in the voiceover. I did like the bit about, like, the count of the shout-outs and how Mario Lopez had one. Oh, that was really funny. Yeah, see, back to Nick Glazer. She was great. Yeah. I mean, the other thing it did really well, I think, is that it sort of added some drama to the Oscar question. You know, is the Golden Globes sort of supposed to set the table for the Oscars? Like, I thought last night did it really well because it spread the awards around. It recognized a lot of, like, very little scene movies. We talked about Amelia Perez. There's also a different man, which I defy you to find one person who has seen it.

9:11And I'm still here. I was like, you are. The best actress win was unexpected. So it sort of scrambled the narrative around the Oscars and makes the Oscars ever more interesting. Oh, you didn't think it was like brutalist Amelia Perez sweep? No, because I think the Oscars is inclined to favor movies that are much more conventionally like awards-bait movies like Conclave. or even in Nora which I loved but it was just a straight up enjoyable movie and got shut out last night yeah it's true and Conclave only won what did it win screenplay or something oh yeah yeah yeah very dry speech yes indeed indeed oh my god I was obsessed with ODR just taking his time with his translator when he went for Millie Perez and then just sent me over the edge saying the names he's like that was great what did he say he's like Jérôme Cédoux And the woman's like, Jerome Sidhu.

10:08I know. It was very duolingo. Yes, exactly. The translator was excellent, though. She didn't miss a beat. No, no. She was a star. Oh, God. Oh, you know who else was a star? I was very into it. I love an unexpected speech moment. I feel like last year, I forgot who it was. Was it Melanie Linsky who thanked her nanny? But this year, Colin Farrell thanking Carolina and craft services was a highlight for me. I want to know more about Carolina. I know. Me too. Profile on Carolina. Right. Yeah, his speech was very charming. I'm so into Colin Farrell.

10:45Okay, we're going to take a quick break, and we'll be back shortly.

11:00Hi, I'm Rebecca Ford, senior awards correspondent at Vanity Fair and co-host of Little Gold Men. Oscar season is upon us. Little Gold Men takes you behind the scenes of the race for the biggest prize in Hollywood. There's a hundred wrestlers in the room, but only one can be Oscar nominated. Whether you're a movie lover or an industry buff, Little Gold Men from Vanity Fair has everything you need to know about this year's Oscar race. Follow and listen to Little Gold Men wherever you get your podcasts.

11:42And we're back. Okay, guys, so I want to know what you all thought of Demi Moore. Did you clock the speech where she talked about being in the industry for like 30 years and being a popcorn actress? I liked the speech. It was great. Yeah, the speech was good. And I loved the film. I mean, you did. Yeah. And I don't really love a gory film, but I thought it was really good. On Twitter, someone was like, name the producer's name. Did she say that like – Yeah, that's what I wanted her to do. Yeah, what did she say? She said some producer called me a popcorn actress. Yes, she said that years ago she was called a popcorn actress and they were like, you're going to make movies that, you know, draw people to the box office and are popular.

12:19But you're not an actress that's going to, you know, like win awards and get accolades. And she said this was the first time she'd ever, that she'd ever won anything. That she'd ever won. Yeah. Which I'm surprised because Ghost is a masterpiece. I mean, in truth. Truly. Shout out. I was like, wait, what do you mean he didn't get nominated for Ghost? That's cool. What's your favorite G.I. War movie? G.I. Jane. I was going to say the same. I didn't want to be embarrassed though. I was going to say the same. G.I. You know what though? If they had the box office category when G.I. Jane was out, that probably would have been a container.

12:55Oh, what is it called? What is that category? Cinematic experience? It's a stretch. It's such a stretch. And it was so annoying because it led to the wicked like moment with John Chu who – I mean very talented guy. I'm really happy for him and it's a success. You didn't like his metaphor about the yellow brick road? No, no. And did you watch Ariana Grande behind him while he was talking? No, but I like that Jeff Goldblum was holding his – he seemed like he wanted to be holding his heart. Like that was Jester but he was actually sort of holding his stomach like he was in like deep – like having GI issues.

13:28I mean – Oh, gosh. Yeah, that was a lot. But I haven't seen Wicked, and it's not my thing. Saw both Sebastian Stan movies this year, though. No Wicked, though. Sebastian Stan, excellent podcast guest. Really great. With our friend Jeremy Strong. Huge fan. Jeremy Strong presaged. She said, I will not wear brown this year. And he sure did. He didn't. You can take credit for it, because you asked him a question. Yeah. I was like, why do you only wear brown? He was like, God damn it. I raise you some... What was that color? It wasn't seafoam. It was kind of... It was close to seafoam. And there were a lot of interesting...

14:06I mean, there was like a... Who else is wearing like a... A turquoise... Andrew Scott. Andrew Scott. Not my favorite. Yeah. Oh, he was shut out, though. I thought Ripley was so good, and I thought he should have won something. Yeah. Andrew Scott. There were a lot of referential dresses. Yeah. Like, there was big old Hollywood energy, opera gloves, sort of what someone joked was like the Audrey Hepburn biopic contest. Which was like Ariana Grande and Selena Gomez and Selena looked amazing. Someone else was sort of doing it. I forget who. But... I mean, I guess Zendaya was doing it. Zendaya. But I...

14:48It is just funny to see how much of a thing it has been to reference. Not just a period but a very specific look like i had a beerie leah wrote about yeah her moment yeah the julia roberts moment tell us more yeah so she i mean she's been working with loewe for a while and she said that she was really inspired by what movie did jonathan anderson costume design queer Queer and challenges. Okay, yeah. So she said that she was really inspired by queer and his work on that film. And as her and her stylist, Danielle Goldberg, were dreaming up what she was going to wear, they thought about Julia Roberts' 1990 Golden Globes wearing a gray suit.

15:38Another reference was also Carmelo Anthony. I'm not sure if it was from I'm not sure if it's the suit he wore when he got drafted but it was of that era early 2000s very oversized baggy gray well and last year she referenced Whoopi Goldberg and Whoopi Goldberg had an iconic white suit moment and Ayo did a version of that by The Row which that I have to say was one of my favorite Ayo moments she really went all out though because she also dyed her hair red and had like long wavy red hair moment. Yeah, she looked great. And she had some fronts or something happening. Yeah, she had a grill. She had a grill.

16:22I think it's called metal frames that makes them that she loves and follows on Insta. I like how much she experiments and she just seems to be having so much fun and she looks adorable. And then my favorite moment. I mean, we were all, as the kids say, gagged. I know what's coming. I hear it coming. Come on. Well, guess. Kylie and Timmy only make their public appearances annually inside the Golden Globes. And they did not walk the right carpet together. But as soon as the ceremony started, we saw them canoodling at the Bob Dylan table. What's that movie called? A Complete Unknown. Yes. Bob Dylan was not there.

17:06It was the Bob Dylan table. And Kylie Jenner, what you could see, because, you know, we didn't see photos of full length. We just saw her from the back. And we're like, oh, slinky dress. And then some eagle-eyed Twitter user matched it and said Kylie Jenner, the last two years, has been cosplaying Elizabeth Hurley with Hugh Grant. Last year she wore a sort of black lace dress, also vintage. and this year she wore the exact chainmail Versace dress that Liz Hurley wore in 1999 for, what was it, the premiere? Four Weddings and a Funeral? It was a big story in the Vogue in the 90s doc that she, it was like before celebrity dressing and she just called Versace and was like, do you have anything?

17:52And they sent her just like a shopping bag with like a little dress in it. And Kylie wore it last night and it was a major moment for all of us. Yeah. I mean, it makes me wish they'd actually used Hugh Grant in some way. Oh my God, you're obsessed. I'm obsessed. First of all, that movie's good, heretic. Second of all, that man is on one. Like he is pleasing everyone he comes into contact with. He's fantastic. And he was there in the room and nobody did anything with him. Sad. But I was glad Timothee did win, I have to say. I'm glad he didn't win. Oh my gosh. Well, I had this premonition that he was going to steal it from Adrian Brody and I actually think the Brutalist.

18:28I mean, I've, like, seen all the movies that are up for awards. And the only one that I think I'll remember from this year is probably The Brutalist. Like, it's a challenging movie. It's three and a half hours long. But it's really something, you know. And Adrian Brody's performance is, like, amazing. And I also saw the – I have to go to a theater, right? You do. You do. It's like a – yeah, it's like a proper cinematic experience. So how does the intermission work? Can someone explain that to me? It's truly like, you know – Popcorn actress. The screen has, like, a text slide that says intermission.

18:56And you just leave for ten minutes? You can. I was at a screening, but they ran it the same way they would run it in theaters. And then there's a clock that ticks down, so you kind of usefully know when it's about to end. Yeah, I mean, I'm mixed on it because, like, I kind of – anything that adds to length, I'm a little bummed by. Me too. But, like, you know, if you have to make it to the restroom, it's beautiful. I appreciate that. Yeah. That's the case in a number of Bollywood movies. They have intermissions? Mm-hmm. Because they're so long. Yeah. I didn't realize that. All the old movies do.

19:24Sound of Music, The Great Escape. Wow. Dances with Wolves. I remember that. Oh my goodness. We were talking about G.I. Jane a second ago. Kevin Costner is not admissible. Anyway, so I thought that movie really, I was glad to see it win and did not know that Mr. Brady Corbet, I did not know that his surname was pronounced Corbet. And I actually thought the Golden Globes announcer had it wrong. And then for the podium, he was like, remember when he shouted out his daughter, his adorable daughter? Oh, that was so sweet. And I was glad to see Adrian win because I think he was really deserving and I thought Timothy might steal it from him.

19:57That's why I was glad to see him not win.

20:03Okay, so we're going to make a quick break and we'll be back in a moment.

20:18You come to the New Yorker Radio Hour for conversations that go deeper with people you really want to hear from, whether it's Bruce Springsteen or Questlove or Olivia Rodrigo, Liz Cheney, or the godfather of artificial intelligence, Jeffrey Hinton, or some of my extraordinarily well-informed colleagues at The New Yorker. So join us every week on The New Yorker Radio Hour, wherever you listen to podcasts.

20:47And we are back. I want to know what people's favorite accessories were. for me was Kieran Culkin's temporary tattoos and Selma Hayek's emeralds. Selma Hayek's emeralds. Selma Hayek's emeralds. Selma Hayek's emeralds. The emeralds were beyond. I mean, they were bonkers. I thought she looked incredible. I know. We're very into her greys. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She looked just kind of... Embracing your greys and your emeralds is a real flag.

21:17Pinot energy. Totally.

21:24Yeah, she definitely, I can't think of, and I guess I appreciated Io's crew. Yeah. Taylor, the bucket hat, is that your fave? Back to Jeremy? Yeah, yeah, no, I was into all things Jeremy. All things Jeremy. There was some male hat energy. ODR, Jacques ODR also was wearing a pork pie hat for one award and not for the other. Maybe he decided it wasn't quite the look. It was the second. And I was like, you decided you needed to put that on? The Eddie Redmayne suit was a lot for me. Oh, I like it. Okay. We haven't talked about the Shogun actors. What do you guys think? I think Anna Sawai is so beautiful.

22:03I wasn't sure that was the most amazing dress I've seen her in, but you guys tell me. She actually wore a cool dress to the after party that I kind of wish she'd done. Like, I just felt a bit safe. Yeah, it was very safe. But, I mean, she looked beautiful. Also, I don't need Peplums to be back. No, there was a lot of peplum going on. The entire Shogun cast had great swagger. Hiroyuki Sanada loved him. He looked great. He looked great. Amazing. In the velvet, the grooming was also impeccable. Who was the guy who was so charming who got up there and yelled, You don't know me! It was Tadunobu Asano, and he's one of the actors in Shogun.

22:44And I really appreciated that he, like, introduced himself to the audience. Totally. He seemed to be having a great time. Shogun really got its due. I mean, that was a hit of a show, but it swept all four awards it was nominated for. So it had a big night last night. He was actually my favorite character in the show. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Now that I know who it is. I'm a big Cosmo Jarvis fan. Oh, yeah. He's so handsome. Yeah, he's good. He's good. He was up there on stage. Also, I haven't watched Matlock yet. I love Matlock. And Kathy Bates. She's funny, though. She really brought it. Yeah. She's fantastic.
