Golden Globes 2025: The Complete Guide to Parties and Events (Updating)

by

As a long-time cinephile and Hollywood enthusiast, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia as I look forward to the 2025 Golden Globes. The energy and excitement that surrounds awards season has always been a highlight of my year, and it feels like the industry is hitting the ground running this time around.

While I miss the pre-pandemic days of party-hopping around The Beverly Hilton, I understand that change is inevitable in any industry. The consolidation of studios and budget cuts have certainly had an impact on awards season events, but I’m optimistic that there will still be plenty of opportunities to celebrate this year’s contenders over the first weekend of the year.

I can’t wait to see what surprises and delights the Golden Globes has in store for us on January 5th. Whether it’s a virtual event or an in-person celebration, I know that it will be a memorable experience. I encourage all fellow film lovers to check out this year’s events and join me in celebrating the best of cinema.
