2025 Golden Globes: All the Candid Moments You Didn’t See on TV

See all the best candid photos from the 2025 Golden Globes, from sweet cast reunions and date night PDA to the blink-and-you-missed-it moments.

It can be hard to know where to look first when all of the biggest movie and TV stars are under one roof.

So, we did the honors for you during the 2025 Golden Globes. (See all the stars who hit the red carpet for the Jan. 5 ceremony.)

The reliably raucous show, hosted this year by Nikki Glaser at the Beverly Hilton, provided a feast of A-list interaction, so much of which you wouldn’t see merely watching the CBS broadcast.

From couples like Selena Gomez and Benny BlancoLeighton Meester and Adam Brody, and Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard enjoying a fancy date night to Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo‘s Wicked-cool cast reunion, to big stars fanboying and fangirling over one another, and the expressions celebs make when they think no one is watching, the blink-and-you-miss it moments are where the vibes are.

And overall, the room was packed with talent, Angelina JolieTimothée ChalametNicole KidmanElle Fanning and Dakota FanningDemi Moore and Zendaya just the tip of the iceberg.

Supporting actress winner Zoe Saldaña and fellow nominee Selena Gomez and lead actress nominee Karla Sofía Gascón were also on hand for the Emilia Pérez party, the Spanish-language musical (though it’s France’s international film submission) leading all movies this year with 10 nominations, the most ever for a motion picture in the musical or comedy category.

Meanwhile, The Bear was tops among TV shows with five nominations, including Best Television Series—Musical or Comedy (yes, comedy), lead acting nods for Jeremy Allen White (who skipped the evening, perhaps all awarded out for now) and Ayo Edebiri and supporting recognition for Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Liza Colón-Zayas.

Suffice it to say, there was a lot to keep track of over the course of three-plus hours as statues were being handed out and actors were hobnobbing all over the place, but you can see the best candid moments from the 2025 Golden Globes right here:
