The 2025 Golden Globes will take place Sunday on CBS. Here’s a preview about what to expect from the awards ceremony.
On the movies side of things, the Brady Corbet-directed drama The Brutalist is expected to walk away with some awards. It’s up for drama film, as well as best director and drama actor for Adrien Brody. The film is currently only available to watch in movie theaters, but will be available to stream on Max after its theatrical run concludes.
Sean Baker‘s Anora, which tells the story of a sex worker who marries the wrong man, is also expected to walk away with a victory. It’s up for comedy film, comedy actress for Mikey Madison and screenplay for Baker. The Neon-distributed film is available for purchase to watch at home.
Over on the TV side, the historical epic Shōgun is predicted to walk away with a trophy. It’s up for best drama series, best drama actor for Hiroyuki Sanada and drama actress for Anna Sawai. The FX show is streaming over on Hulu.
Baby Reindeer is expected to run away with wins in the limited series categories. Its creator, Richard Gadd, is up for limited series best actor, while co-star Jessica Gunning is up for best supporting actress in a limited series. If you still haven’t watched it, you can binge the show on Netflix.
The 82nd Golden Globes Awards, hosted by Nikki Glaser, will take place on Jan. 5 live from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in LA.
Andrea Arnold’s coming-of-age drama Bird, available to watch in theaters now, follows a young girl living with her father and half-brother in northern Kent.
The movie, which stars Franz Rogowski and Barry Keoghan, was not sold to its actors on a script, but instead a concept. To convey the film, Arnold sent Rogowski an album and a few images, and told him some stories, he told ABC Audio.
He remembers listening to the music Arnold sent him as he drove through the U.K.
“I had these songs, and I was driving my van and the sun was rising,” Rogowski said. “Her invitation was so physical. The way she introduced her world and the character to me was not based on a story or on drama or, you know, the big five emotions that humans go through on a daily basis … her invitation was only based on images and music and her childhood memories. And that was very interesting.”
Keoghan said he respects Arnold for her bravery in making a film like Bird.
“I think she makes movies really close to the heart and this one especially,” Keoghan said. “She’s a genius. And I’m glad that I got to be part of this because I just got to find a lot, selfishly, about myself as well during it and during the journey of it. And there was no better person to be there with me doing it … Andrea, she basically took my hand and, you know, guided me through it.”
The daughter of actors Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, shared the news on Instagram in a joint post with her fiancé on Monday.
The post included a photo of an engagement ring and the engaged couple kissing.
In a video included in the post, a candle-lit walkway is seen with an arrow made out of rose petals pointing down the path. It leads to a cozy-looking living room with a fireplace. “We did it,” said a voice in the background. The post is captioned, “everyday.”
Commenting on the post, Tallulah’s sister Rumer Willis, wrote, “The most beautiful love to witness and watch grow. I love you both so much. Justin I’m so lucky I get to call you my brother. Baby Lula my gift my queen my heart is so full. Obsessed with you both.”
Their sister Scout LaRue Willis also posted on social media, celebrating her sister’s engagement.
Acee, who is a musician, and Tallulah Willis often exchange loving posts about one another on social media.
Tallulah Willis, Scout Willis and Rumer Willis are the daughters of Bruce Willis and ex-wife Moore, to whom he was married from 1987 to 2000.
Justin Baldoni has filed a lawsuit against The New York Times after it published an article featuring allegations from his It Ends With Us co-star, Blake Lively.
Baldoni, who directed and starred in the blockbuster film with Lively, filed a suit on Tuesday for libel and false light invasion of privacy. The complaint claimed that The Times relied on “cherry-picked” and altered communications, with details “stripped of necessary context and deliberately spliced” to “mislead.”
The story, “We Can Bury Anyone: Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine,” was written by reporters Megan Twohey, Mike McIntire and Julie Tate. It reported on Lively’s allegations of sexual misconduct by Baldoni and an alleged campaign to “tarnish” Lively’s reputation and image. The article also included alleged text messages and email exchanges between Baldoni’s publicists Jennifer Abel and Melissa Nathan; however, Baldoni’s lawsuit alleges that the exchanges in The Times’ story were stripped of “critical context.”
“The Article’s central thesis, encapsulated in a defamatory headline designed to immediately mislead the reader, is that Plaintiffs orchestrated a retaliatory public relations campaign against Lively for speaking out about sexual harassment — a premise that is categorically false and easily disproven,” the lawsuit stated.
It continued, “If the Times truly reviewed the thousands of private communications it claimed to have obtained, its reporters would have seen incontrovertible evidence that it was Lively, not Plaintiffs, who engaged in a calculated smear campaign.”
Baldoni, who is seeking $250 million in damages, also lists nine other co-plaintiffs, including Wayfarer Studios LLC, which produced It Ends With Us, and his publicists, Abel and Nathan.
Brian Freedman, an attorney for Baldoni, said in a statement to Good Morning America that The Times “cowered to the wants and whims of two powerful ‘untouchable’ Hollywood elites, disregarding journalistic practices and ethics once befitting of the revered publication by using doctored and manipulated texts and intentionally omitting texts which dispute their chosen PR narrative.”
“In doing so, they pre-determined the outcome of their story, and aided and abetted their own devastating PR smear campaign designed to revitalize Lively’s self-induced floundering public image and counter the organic groundswell of criticism amongst the online public,” Freedman continued. “The irony is rich.”
Freedman added, “Make no mistake however, as we all unite to take down The NY Times by no longer allowing them to deceive the public, we will continue this campaign of authenticity by also suing those individuals who have abused their power to try and destroy the lives of my clients.”
“While their side embraces partial truths, we embrace the full truth – and have all of the communications to back it,” the statement said. “The public will decide for themselves as they did when this first began.”
A New York Times spokesperson told Good Morning America that they “plan to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.”
“The role of an independent news organization is to follow the facts where they lead. Our story was meticulously and responsibly reported,” The Times’ response continued. “It was based on a review of thousands of pages of original documents, including the text messages and emails that we quote accurately and at length in the article.”
“To date, Wayfarer Studios, Mr. Baldoni, the other subjects of the article and their representatives have not pointed to a single error,” the spokesperson claimed. “We published their full statement in response to the allegations in the article as well.”
Good Morning America has reached out to Lively’s reps for comment about Baldoni’s lawsuit against The New York Times.
Lively filed a lawsuit in New York against Baldoni and other defendants for sexual harassment on Tuesday. She’s also suing Wayfarer Studios for “failure to investigate, prevent and/or remedy harassment,” as well as others including Nathan and Abel.
Lively’s lawsuit follows a complaint she filed a week ago with the California Civil Rights Department accusing Baldoni and others of waging a smear campaign against her and accusing the actor of sexual misconduct. Baldoni has denied all allegations via his lawyer.
In her suit, which reiterates details she previously presented in her complaint, it refers to a meeting that was allegedly held on Jan. 4, 2024, prior to resuming filming on It Ends With Us after the guild strikes. It alleges that the meeting was attended by Baldoni and key stakeholders of the film, including Wayfarer CEO Jamey Heath, and Lively, who addressed what she called the “repeated sexual harassment and other disturbing behavior” by Baldoni and Heath.
According to the lawsuit, Lively said she laid out specific demands at the meeting to ensure a safe and professional working environment, including “no more showing nude videos or images of women to Blake” and “no more discussions about sexual conquests in front of Blake and others, no further mentions of cast and crew’s genitalia, no more inquiries about Blake’s weight, and no further mention of Blake’s dead father.”
Lively claimed Baldoni and his production company Wayfarer Studios then engaged in a “social manipulation” campaign to “destroy” Lively’s reputation, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit also includes alleged texts from Baldwin’s publicist to a Wayfarer publicist; they which allegedly said that Baldoni “wants to feel like [Ms. Lively] can be buried,” and “We can’t write we will destroy her.” Baldoni’s suit has denied that these are complete and accurate texts.
Attorneys for Lively said in a statement that the actress’ “decision to speak out has resulted in further retaliation and attacks.”
“As alleged in Ms. Lively’s federal Complaint, Wayfarer and its associates have violated federal and California state law by retaliating against her for reporting sexual harassment and workplace safety concerns,” Lively’s attorneys said. “Now, the defendants will answer for their conduct in federal court. Ms. Lively has brought this litigation in New York, where much of the relevant activities described in the Complaint took place, but we reserve the right to pursue further action in other venues and jurisdictions as appropriate under the law.”
Both Baldoni and Lively are seeking a jury trial.
