The extent to which Glaser slayed her part cannot be overstated. She was spicy without immolating her targets, respectful without feeling phony or fawning. We will remember her for the right reasons and some saucy jokes. Go to Full Review
Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 01/07/2025
There is apparently no way to make these things run any faster, but Glaser, who returned often to the stage, at least gave one the impression, between the duller stretches, that it was clipping along. Go to Full Review
Shirley Li The Atlantic 01/06/2025
Glaser’s good-natured delivery turned out to be the ideal vehicle for some unexpected bite as well -- but only if you listened carefully. In between her many, many self-effacing barbs, Glaser slid in some stingers about the guests seated before her. Go to Full Review
Dominic Patten Deadline Hollywood Daily 01/06/2025
If auditioning for future Globes hosting stints is Glaser’s real goal, she checked off more than enough boxes on a night of mainly predictable wins for a return invite. Go to Full Review
Rob Owen Pittsburgh Tribune-Review 01/06/2025
Glaser’s monologue felt a little long but not by much and her digs were sharp enough to sting but not enough to bite as Ricky Gervais once did routinely on the Globes. Go to Full Review

Noah S. @Noah2002 Mar 17 Definitely better than the last host! See more Ethan A @RT65478875 01/12/2025 The Golden Globes are back! After a disastrous hosting gig by Joy Koy last year, Nikki Glaser cements herself as one of the most “pope-ular” hosts the Golden Globes, or any other award show for that matter, has ever seen. See more David L @davidonfilm 01/09/2025 The 82nd Golden Globes was a night of great surprise winners, great speeches and a great host with Nikki Glaser but a terrible production with a terrible announcer with Entertainment Tonight host Kevin Frazier giving annoying tidbits about the winners as they walked to the stage, bring back longtime announcer Shawn Parr who was great as always last year. Also a terrible visual of GPS pinpoints during the presentation of the nominees.

Although some of the winners seem biased and not right it was an ok time. Nikki did phenomenal as a host. See more SkyRo P @TheMovieSearch 01/07/2025 The Golden Globes serve as a prime example of how to mismanage an awards show. While I’ll give credit where it’s due—this year's ceremony was certainly an improvement over previous years—it's hard to regard the event as a credible indicator of excellence in film. Despite being the kickoff to the awards season, the Golden Globes have lost much of their prestige. I dream of winning a Golden Globe someday, but let's face it: the awards often go to whoever the voters favor rather than to those who truly deserve recognition. Year after year, we see winners who seem unworthy of their accolades. The Golden Globes seem more interested in the politics of Hollywood than in honoring genuine cinematic achievements. Take "Wicked," for instance. It drew audiences in droves, offering a unique experience where viewers could choose sides—green or pink. This film also played a crucial role in revitalizing "Gladiator Part Two," which might have floundered without its connection to such a successful production, often referred to as "Glicked." Yet, the industry overlooks these significant contributions, handing out awards to films like "Barbie" that, while entertaining, might not truly represent cinematic success. The show itself can be a spectacle, with all the star power in attendance, but it often feels like we’re losing sight of what makes a film worthy of recognition. Instead of celebrating successful projects, we seem to reward those that falter at the box office or fail to make an impact on streaming platforms. Take "The Brutalist," for example—a movie that bombed commercially yet snagged the title of Movie of the Year. Why? Because it has a lengthy runtime? And what about Timothée Chalamet? He delivered a remarkable performance in a role that’s iconic, yet he was overlooked in favor of someone from a lesser-known film. Speaking of animated features, I found "Flow" to be charming, but how did it triumph over "The Wild Robot," which deserved the accolade? If not that, there were still sequels like "Moana Part Two" and "Inside Out Part Two" that achieved significant box office success, yet they were seemingly dismissed. It seems that the Golden Globes prefer to snub successful films, which is disheartening. I wish there were an awards show that genuinely considered all types of cinema. Furthermore, why are horror films consistently sidelined during awards season? They can be just as well-crafted and commercially viable as any other genre. Similarly, action films often get relegated to the sidelines, as if only dramatic, period pieces are worthy of accolades. Frankly, it’s frustrating to watch this unfold. See more Read all reviews
