Netflix has a great way of churning out excellent original series. The films the streamer does can be great, too. Or some of them can be purely fluff.

The great thing about having a Netflix subscription, though, is that you don't only need to see Netflix Originals. You see a whole scope of movies made by other studios. That can be both good and bad.

But writing optimistically, there are 12 examples below of why you should be grateful to have a Netflix subscription. Each of these films is a winner. You will not be disappointed.

12 movies you should not miss streaming on Netflix in January 2025Paddington 2

Paddington 2 is a perfect movie. This is not written as a fan of children's films solely, as the film is entertaining for people of all ages. There are enough heart-warming moments, more than enough laughs, and a bad guy played wonderfully by Hugh Grant.

The cast of Saturday Night Live shares a bond unlike most anything else in television. The small group of performers spend countless hours together in pursuit of comedy. So when SNL fired one cast member in the '90s, it was no surprise to hear a couple of his colleagues took a stand.

Chris Parnell has the distinct honor of being fired from Saturday Night Live twice. The first came in 2001 after he joined the cast in 1998. SNL brought Parnell back halfway through the next season only to show him the door again in 2006.

The first firing came as a bit of a shock to Parnell. He thought he was hitting his stride, but his clashes with Lorne Michaels didn't help his case. He learned in the summer of 2001 that Michaels and SNL chose not to renew his contract.

In an interview with Cracked, Parnell reflected on the experience. He...

Travis Kelce might be used to scoring touchdowns but now his pop star girlfriend Taylor Swift wants him to score big financially. The “Fortnight” singer reportedly wants the Kansas City Chiefs tight end to hit a major financial milestone in the name of their relationship.

Taylor Swift wants Travis Kelce to become a billionaire like her

According to a Radar report, Swift has her sights set on a big financial goal for her boyfriend of a year and a half. She wants Kelce to achieve billionaire status.

“They’re the biggest couple in the world right now, and the sky is truly the limit with what they can accomplish together,” a source said. “Anything they do is a surefire money-spinner. And Taylor will do all she can to help because she realizes how important it is for them to be on a level playing field financially.”

Combined star power only takes this overfamiliar caper so far, let down by an unfunny script and a lack of originality

The last time we saw Cameron Diaz on screen, it was way back in 2014. The star, who had been such a magnetic force in Being John Malkovich, My Best Friend’s Wedding and There’s Something About Mary, had checked out with a trio of pale production line films that represented what we’d grimly come to expect at that stage of her career. Diaz had once easily moved between dark and light as well as large and small, had smoothed out any of her more interesting edges to become one of the industry’s highest-paid yet most boringly unchallenged stars. That year saw her lost in the juvenile comedies The Other Woman and Sex Tape before being horrendously miscast in a dud remake of Annie and not long after, she chose to retire,...

Conan O'Brien's comedy resume can be stacked up against just about anyone in the entertainment industry. Now, the late-night TV legend is finally getting a long-overdue honor in recognition of his achievements.

O'Brien will receive the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the John F, Kennedy Center for Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., on March 23. Netflix will stream the event, although not live.

The award is given to individuals who have impacted society in a way similar to Mark Twain. The 19th-century American author was noted for his social commentary and witticisms.

“I am honored to be the first winner of the Mark Twain Prize recognized not for humor, but for my work as a riverboat pilot,” O'Brien said, showcasing his signature sense of humor.

"For four decades, Conan O’Brien, has brought his unique blend of the smart, silly, insightful, and hilarious into our homes,” said Deborah F. Rutter,...

Back in 1993, Conan O’Brien’s career seemed like it might end before it really even began when NBC nearly canceled his fledging 12:30 am talk show, convinced they’d made a mistake by handing over David Letterman’s desk to an unknown comedy writer barely out of his twenties. But they kept him on the air and O’Brien found his comedic voice along with a mass audience. Today, he’s a beloved elder statesman with a hit podcast, a brilliant new travel show, and an upcoming stint as the host of the Academy Awards.

Peacock’s “SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night” is a four-part documentary series to celebrate 50 years of Saturday Night Live. The show’s history is explored in each episode, from the intense casting auditions in “Five Minutes” to the challenging and exhausting writers’ room in “Written By.” It also delves into the tumultuous 11th season, dubbed “The Weird Year,” and the story behind the infamous “More Cowbell” sketch.

The series, made by NBC’s streaming service, is a look back at the show’s long history and an insider’s guide to its success. It’s a mix of nostalgia and behind-the-scenes story telling to appeal to both long-time fans and newbies.

For five decades, the cultural moment has been inextricably linked to Saturday Night Live. Its sketches frequently reflect societal changes, discuss political issues, and make fun of current events. The show has helped many comedians and performers start their careers,...

For countless comedians, Saturday Night Live is a dream job and would be the crowning achievement of their career. But one cast member had second thoughts and even went so far as to ask Lorne Michaels to fire him. Thankfully, the SNL boss refused.

Saturday Night Live has a long list of fired cast members. Some, like Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, and Norm Macdonald, deserved a longer tenure. However, others were let go at the right time for various reasons, whether it was clashing with Michaels or failing to produce quality content. But it's hard to imagine many SNL cast members asked to be fired.

Enter Pete Davidson. The stand-up comedian admitted in the Peacock documentary SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night that he asked to be fired from the show. According to Davidson, feeling like an imposter or a fraud influenced the request.

"After my first year, I acutally called for a meeting with Lorne,...

Conan O’Brien is the latest comedian to be feted at the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.

The former host of Conan and The Tonight Show will receive the award on March 23 at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

The ceremony will air on Netflix, although the streamer, which took on the event last year, didn’t air it live.

Kevin Hart was last year’s recipient and previous honorees include Dave Chappelle, Adam Sandler, Jon Stewart, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Steve Martin, George Carlin, Tina Fey, Carol Burnett and Richard Pryor.

Last year, Netflix struck a multi-year deal with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to air the event. The event previously aired on CNN and before that PBS aired it for over 20 years. Comedy Central hosted it before PBS.

The 26th Mark Twain Prize will be produced by David Jammy and the team at Done+Dusted.

Ever since Travis Kelce started dating Taylor Swift, he has been taking a few steps into the entertainment industry. From his SNL appearance to now being featured in Netflix’s upcoming sports comedy film Happy Gilmore 2, the Kansas City Chiefs player grew leaps and bounds in popularity, too.

The tight end has been spending time with Taylor, training and playing games on the field, and appearing on podcasts. Here’s what the American football player shared about his experience working with comedy king Adam Sandler and his role in the upcoming movie.

No matter what mood, situation, or place you’re in, comedy movies can never be a bad idea, because everyone likes to have a good laugh. But sadly, people often confuse comedy films with loudmouthed slapstick humor that is known to dominate the screen. And perhaps this is why the genre of comedy is gradually fading away into oblivion.

With more people looking for drama and action films, comedy is getting sidelined in the world of entertainment. So before the classic sense of humor wanes completely, let’s take a look at 15 underrated comedies including—endearing rom-com, wry dramedy, action-comedy, and more—that’s worth every bit of your attention.

NFL tight end Travis Kelce is going into the playoffs with the Kansas City Chiefs, hoping to make another appearance at the biggest sports event of the year with a three-peat run. Kelce’s fame exceeds football [thanks in part to a very public relationship with pop star Taylor Swift] as he crosses over into acting projects. He has already hosted Saturday Night Live, made an appearance in Ryan Murphy’s latest horror show, Grotesquerie, and he even hosts the game show Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? However, later this year, Kelce is set to make an appearance in Adam Sandler’s upcoming sequel Happy Gilmore 2.

According to Deadline, Kelce recently appeared on The Pat McAfee Show, where he was asked about working on the legacy sequel with Sandler. Kelce said,

That was a dream come true. I thought SNL was going to be the peak of my acting and showman or entertainment career … working with Happy Gilmore himself,...

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s relationship had alleged overlaps with his marriage to Jennifer Aniston. It is widely believed that it was the affair with Jolie that ended Pitt and Aniston’s marriage. After Pitt’s divorce from Aniston, the Mr. & Mrs. Smith stars soon started dating and married in 2014. Two years later, the marriage ended after Jolie filed for divorce.

While Pitt and Aniston have mended their relationship, reports suggest that Aniston and Jolie are still at odds. As they are set to cross each other on the Oscars red carpet, some sources suggest that things will likely blow up between them. According to the source, Aniston believes that Jolie is encroaching on her professional career now.

Travis Kelce says it was a "dream come true" working alongside Adam Sandler in 'Happy Gilmore 2'. The 35-year-old American football star - who is dating pop megastar Taylor Swift - has an undisclosed role in the forthcoming film, which will see Sandler reprise his role as the titular character. NFL legend Travis, who plays tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, admitted he has "a few" scenes in the movie, and insisted the experience was "off the chain". Speaking on 'The Pat McAfee Show', he said: "That was a dream come true."I thought 'SNL' was going to be the peak of my acting and showman or entertainment career. "Working with Happy Gilmore himself, the Sandman and Happy Productions, it was off the chain."Kelce found Sandler to be "every bit as cool off the screen as he is on the screen" during the filming process.

Iconic American comedy show Saturday Night Live turns 50 this year, kicking off the celebrations is a four part documentary.

It’s no exaggeration to say that Saturday Night Live is responsible for launching the careers of a huge amount of American comedy talent, from the early days with Gilda Radner, Chevy Chase, John Belushi, and Bill Murray, through eras with the much missed Phil Hartman, Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, Mike Myers, Molly Shannon, Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Kristen Wiig and many, many more.

This month sees the release of Saturday Night in the UK, following its release in the US last year. It’s a new film from Jason Reitman, who co-wrote the script with Gil Keenan, and it dramatizes the chaotic, stressful ninety minutes leading up to the very first show in 1975. It stars Gabriel Labelle as Lorne Michaels, Rachel Sennott as Rosie Shuster, Cory Michael Smith as Chevy Chase,...

On a recent episode of “The Pat McAfee Show,” Travis Kelce discussed how exciting it was to work with comedy legend Adam Sandler. Kelce will appear alongside Sandler in Netflix’s “Happy Gilmore 2,” which is set for a 2025 release. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end is cast in a currently undisclosed role; in a recently released teaser, he appears to play some sort of country club employee.

“That was a dream come true,” Kelce said, “I thought ‘SNL’ was going to be the peak of my acting and showman or entertainment career. Working with Happy Gilmore himself, the Sandman and Happy Productions, it was off the chain.”

While he is by no means top-billed, Kelce said he has “a few” scenes in the film, and that shooting for “Happy Gilmore 2” was “a hefty load” of work.

“They’re so professional and yet so fun to work with,” Kelce added.

Travis Kelce is not only making another Super Bowl run with the Kansas City Chiefs in hopes of a three-peat but is also racking up his acting credits.

The NFL star is set to make an appearance opposite Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore 2 and recently opened up about what it was like to work with the comedian.

“That was a dream come true,” Kelce said on The Pat McAfee Show. I thought SNL was going to be the peak of my acting and showman or entertainment career … working with Happy Gilmore himself, the Sandman and Happy Productions, it was off the chain.”

He continued, “They’re so professional and yet so fun to work with. I felt like I was working with like the Andy Reid of the acting world. [Sandler] is every bit as cool off the screen as he is on the screen. That was a dream come true.

Funny business is pretty damn lucrative, at least according to Celebrity Net Worth. If we believe its numbers, a guy like Rowan (Mr. Bean) Atkinson can rack up a net worth of $150 million, and still not crack the list of the top 20 richest comedians.

There is no show in history more obsessed with its own lore than Saturday Night Live. Almost every week the long-running sketch show is sprinkled with returning alumni and jokes that reference the show’s illustrious and controversial past: its social club status for the great and good of New York; the drug-fuelled deaths of its brightest lights such as John Belushi and Chris Farley; the superstars it created in Eddie Murphy, Bill Murray, Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell and Tina Fey, to name but five of hundreds.

SNL is so fabled that it’s already inspired scores of documentaries and numerous scripted TV shows based on it, including 30 Rock and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

Taylor Swift, the global singing sensation, has her eyes set on a new goal: helping her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, reach the billionaire club.

While Swift has already reached a net worth of $1.6 billion, the Kansas City Chiefs star still needs to catch up with his more modest $90 million fortune.

However, as their romance continues to flourish, the idea of a wedding and potential joint ventures seems increasingly likely.

Over 37,000 residents, including numerous celebrities and industry leaders, remain under evacuation orders as a quad of fires wreak havoc across the Los Angeles area this week, killing at least five people as the blazes continue to be aided by intense winds that have reached nearly 100 mph. Such high winds are hindering firefighters’ efforts, and the fires are seeing “no percentage of containment,” instead ripping across thousands of acres of L.A. County and destroying an estimated 3,000 structures and counting, the county fire department said on Wednesday, starkly indicating that the worst is still yet to come.

On Wednesday afternoon, an expanded evacuation order was issued for Santa Monica, including all areas north of Montana Avenue from the beach to 11th Street. Residents in this area were told that they must leave immediately and the area was closed to public access. The city’s evacuation warning remains for all additional areas...

No one asked for this staycation.

Angelenos who have lost their homes or had to make harrowing escapes under evacuation orders due to the fast-growing wildfires that are burning with zero containment across Los Angeles County are finding refuge in some of the city’s most storied hotels at discounted room rates, and with no Fema emergency voucher required.

The Kimpton La Peer Hotel, just off Melrose Avenue and Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood’s Design District, quickly filled up Tuesday and remains full through Thursday with fire storm evacuees. “There are lots of families and pets running around the hotel. We have laid out a grazing station for all guests in the lobby, offering warm chocolate chip cookies, cocoa, snacks and drinks for everyone to enjoy during this difficult time,” a La Peer spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter.

Jennifer Aniston Discussing Friends Pay Struggles (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Can you imagine the Friends cast tearing apart overpay? Well, Jennifer Aniston spilled the tea, revealing the one thing that almost did just that: money. “It was tough,” she confessed, reflecting on the early days when salary differences could’ve driven a serious wedge between the iconic six. Yikes, right?

Friends was the sitcom of the moment, and while the laughs were flowing, so were the paychecks—especially for Aniston and David Schwimmer. By the 2nd season, they were already raking in more cash than the rest of the crew. “It was more about, ‘We’re doing equal work, and we all deserve to be compensated in the same way,’” Jennifer shared. Oh, the solidarity! No ego was allowed to grow—at least not that much.

But here’s the kicker: instead of letting those differences mess with their bond, Aniston...

Pacific Palisades resident Steve Guttenberg says the blaze that is burning through his community is “the most unbelievable I’ve ever seen.”

The actor, who appeared on CNN on Tuesday night, was one of 30,000 residents under evacuation orders after the fire broke out around 10:30 a.m. that morning. On CNN, he described the daytime scene, saying that due to the smoke, he said, “The sky was dark, like it was nighttime.” (See photos.)

Guttenberg spoke about helping people who were trying to evacuate the area, echoing comments he’d made earlier to Ktla. On the Pacific Coast Highway, he got out of his car to help people and saw a heartbreaking scene.

There were “mothers who were having panic attacks [and] little kids crying. … The cars were bumper-to-bumper traffic for over two miles and it was dangerous, the police were coming. … I spent all day moving these cars up on the hill,...

An extreme wind event is threatening one of Los Angeles’ toniest neighborhoods, igniting fires through Pacific Palisades.

Winds have been gusting in spurts sparking brush fires around 10:30 a.m. that have expanded to 2,900 acres as of early Tuesday evening, with zero percent containment, per the Los Angeles Fire Department. (See photos.) California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a “state of emergency.”

Among the residents who call the area home are Jennifer Aniston, Bradley Cooper, Eugene Levy, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Reese Witherspoon, Adam Sandler, Michael Keaton, Miles Teller, Michael Mann, Ann Sarnoff, Carol Lombardini, Alan Bergman, Kathleen Kennedy, Steve Guttenberg and James Woods.

Overnight going into Wednesday, Santa Monica and Malibu published evacuation orders. “City of Santa Monica is issuing an Evacuation Order for all areas of the city north of San Vicente,” the city said on X. “Evacuation Order: Immediate threat to life. This is a lawful order to Leave Now.

Netflix has reshaped the entertainment industry in countless ways, and one of those paradigm shifts has lessened the impact of the company’s own data. In a long-form dissection of the streamer’s business philosophy, N+1 writer Will Tavlin argues that Netflix has “created a pyramid scheme of attention” by funneling subscribers toward content that can easily exist as a second screen.

Tavlin’s piece has received widespread attention because of its references to Hollywood screenwriters, who claimed that Netflix told them to “have this character announce what they’re doing so that viewers who have this program on in the background can follow along.” To show how that note is being put into effect, Tavlin notes a particular passage from the Netflix original film Irish Wish, starring Lindsay Lohan.

“We spent a day together,” Lohan’s character says to her love interest. “I admit it was a beautiful day...

Amy Schumer pretends she’s a mom-to-be in the new trailer for Netflix’s R-rated comedy “Kinda Pregnant.”

In the film, Schumer plays Lainy Newton, a newly single teacher who wants to be a mother. So, she understandably gets a little jealous after discovering her best friend, Kate (Jillian Bell), is pregnant, leading Lainy to tell a slight fabrication… in the form of donning a fake baby bump. Her deception is complicated by the fact that she meets her dream man (Will Forte) while acting like she’s with child.

“Do you ever tell, like, such a big lie you don’t know how to get out of it?” she asks in the trailer. Lainy commits to her fabrication, though, going along with the gestation of her fake baby and new relationship at the same time.

Rounding out the cast are Jillian Bell, Will Forte, Damon Wayans Jr., Brianne Howey, Alex Moffat, Joel David Moore, Lizze Broadway, Urzila Carlson and Francis Benhamou.

“Did you ever tell, like, such a big lie, you don’t know how to get out of it?” Schumer asks in the trailer.

At a different point in the footage, Lainy’s friend, played by Carlson, warns her about the ruse. “How dare you walk around with that fake fucking belly?” Carlson says. “What if someone you know catches you with it?”

Jesse Eisenberg’s A Real Pain is getting major attention for the actor. In addition to starring in A Real Pain, Eisenberg also wrote and directed the film.

Because the world is a cruel place to beautiful souls like Adam Sandler, Ariana Grande can’t get through The Waterboy without some waterworks.

On paper, the story of The Waterboy and Bobby Boucher is practically a tragedy — a young man grows up in a repressive religious household raised by a traumatized and manipulative single mother, and his only escape from this rural, swampy poverty is through channeling his deep-seated pain and rage into physical violence that’s exploited for entertainment purposes.

Honestly, a critical read of the Sandler classic could interpret The Waterboy as an indictment of America’s obsession with violence, our insufficient education system and the controlling nature of fundamentalist Christianity in rural communities.

Maybe that’s why the pop star Grande weeps when she sees Boucher victimized onscreen, as she revealed in a recent interview clip that demands a watch after Nikki Glaser made beautiful celebrities...

Fresh off its win at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, it’s been announced that A Real Pain will make its streaming debut on Hulu on January 16th. The film stars Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin as mismatched cousins who reunite for a tour through Poland to honour their beloved grandmother. However, the adventures take a turn when the odd couple’s old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history.

In addition to starring in A Real Pain, Eisenberg also wrote and directed the film. It received four Golden Globe nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor, with Culkin winning the latter award. “Oh thanks, this is incredible. I’m feeling a little – my wife and I did a shot of tequila with Mario Lopez, definitely feeling that,” Culkin said in his acceptance speech. “Whole speech is gone – terrific Kieran, you’re doing fine.

The actor, who will reprise his role as the titular former hockey player-turned-golfer, also has hinted at several special guest stars who may appear in the sequel film. Christopher McDonald, who played antagonist Shooter McGavin in the 1996 original film, first teased word of a sequel. McDonald mentioned to Drew Barrymore and on the radio that Sandler had showed him an early script for the new film.

Catherine O’Hara may call the Golden Globes “prestigious,” but Sunday’s live event on CBS/Paramount+ was still the trashy, not-quite-cool but entertaining awards show, as possibly too-young-for-the-room host Nikki Glaser got some laughs (especially around Adam Sandler and Timothée Chalamet) while earning furrowed brows from the likes of Harrison Ford and Cate Blanchett. Mainly the audience enjoyed watching stars like Glen Powell and Globe perennial Nicole Kidman (20 nods) smash elbows over free-flowing drinks and Nobu sushi in the Beverly Hilton.

The old Golden Globes cabal of Hollywood foreign correspondents would likely have also voted for Demi Moore in French-flavored “The Substance.” Her passionate speech about the dangers of undervaluing yourself gives her a huge leg up in the Oscar race for Best Actress. Actors understand her feelings, and what Coralie Fargeat’s feminist horror tale “The Substance” is all about.

The new Golden Globes consist of about 70 one-time HFPA members still based in L.

This year’s Golden Globe Awards ceremony was full of unexpected brilliant moments after some troublesome years. Taking place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, the ceremony was graced by Hollywood stars and presenters like Dwayne Johnson, Demi Moore, and Ke Huy Quan, while comedian Nikki Glaser, who recently hosted Netflix’s The Roast of Tom Brady, hosted the event.

Glaser began the show by telling the audience it was “Ozempic’s biggest night” and then made sure to tell everyone she wouldn’t be in full roast mode, but what she proceeded to do was a near-perfect balance of jokes and digs. Though more restrained than the previous hosts like Ricky Gervais, Glaser made sure that nobody was really safe from humor.

There was a time when actor Charlie Sheen seemed unstoppable. His CBS sitcom, "Two and a Half Men," was so wildly popular that it allowed him to become the highest-paid actor on television when he signed a contract in 2010 for two more seasons of the show at $1.78 million per episode. He had dealt with some personal demons and emerged from rehab seemingly all the stronger, ready to earn a tremendous amount of money and make America laugh alongside co-stars Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones. Better yet, he got to have a good bit of fun embellishing his own semi-rock star status by playing a character named Charlie who was clearly inspired by Sheen himself. Unfortunately, he fell from these great heights with incredible speed when he was fired from "Two and a Half Men" effective immediately in March of 2011.

Sheen's fall from grace was extremely public, as he aired his grievances with CBS,...

A touch of neurosis, a lot of laughs and plenty of profound insights could be found at The Hollywood Reporter’s Writer Roundtable, where six scribes who crafted seven of 2024’s top screenplays gathered for a lively conversation in November. James Mangold (A Complete Unknown, with Jay Cocks) and Jason Reitman (Saturday Night, with Gil Kenan) have been writing screenplays and then directing them for decades (they received Oscar noms for their scripts Logan and Up in the Air, respectively). Jesse Eisenberg (A Real Pain) and Halina Reijn (Babygirl) are best known as actors — he was Oscar-nominated for The Social Network, while she has been a stage and screen standout in her native Netherlands — but within the past few years had several screenplays made into films, under their own direction. As for Justin Kuritzkes (Challengers and Queer) and India-born Payal Kapadia (All We Imagine as Light), these were their first...

With last night's Golden Globe win for Best Actor in an anthology, limited series, or TV movie for his lead performance as Oz Cobb in The Penguin, Colin Farrell joins the very small circle of just three actors who have been honoured at the awards ceremony for playing comic book villains - and their characters all happen to be Batman foes.

Farrell was asked about joining the late Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix, who both previously won Golden Globes for their respective portrayals of the Joker in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight and Todd Phillips' Joker.

“You mentioned two actors who are, I think, for my money, two of the most extraordinarily talented and gifted and just brilliant artists in films that I’ve ever had the fortune to observe and be affected by," the Irish actor tells Variety. "What Heath did in Chris Nolan’s Dark Knight was extraordinary,...

The relationship between Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt is one of the most infamous stories in Hollywood. Going from the it-couple of the industry into a cautionary tale about what can go wrong when two movie stars get too close, Pitt’s alleged infidelity with Angelina Jolie has become widely known.

The story has been told time and time again, with one easily assuming that he is not on good terms with either of his ex-wives. While it is common knowledge that this is the case for Jolie, with their very messy legal troubles still going on, it would seem that the same cannot be said about Aniston’s relationship with Pitt.

The Friends actress once revealed that she still holds her relationship with Pitt close to her heart, going as far as to say that she will always love him.

Nikki Glaser took the stage as host of the Golden Globes on Sunday, bringing her signature humor and sharp wit to the event she jokingly dubbed “Ozempic’s biggest night.” No one was off-limits as she roasted nominees, streamers, and even music mogul Diddy.

One of her standout moments came when Glaser applauded Zendaya for her role in Challengers before pivoting to a jab at Diddy. “That movie was more sexually charged than Diddy’s credit card,” she quipped, catching the audience by surprise.

She followed up with, “I mean, seriously. Oh no, no, I know, I’m sorry, I’m upset too. The afterparty’s not going to be as good this year, but we have to move on!”

Glaser didn’t dive straight into the deep end, though. She began the night by reflecting on the achievements of the actors in 2024, adding a cheeky observation: “Except tell the country who to vote for.

The 2025 Golden Globe Awards aired on Sunday, with Emilia Pérez and Shōgun each scoring four awards to lead the field, followed by The Brutalist with three. But how were the Globes as a TV show? Here’s a rundown of the ceremony’s highs and lows.

High: Nikki Glaser brought her exceptional roast comedy skills to the Globes’ opening monologue, delivering a tight 10-minute set featuring well-placed jabs at the state of the industry, from Ozempic’s influence to Peacock’s lack of it. She pushed the envelope just far enough — “I predict five years from now, like when you’re watching little clips of the show on YouTube, you’ll see someone in one of the crowd shots, and you’ll go, ‘Oh my God, that was before they caught that guy!'” — without going overboard. And she found...

Last year, Jo Koy’s turn as Golden Globes host didn’t exactly wow the crowd, critics called out everything from awkward jokes to a lackluster writers’ room. It even sparked the big question, do award shows really need a host anymore? Well, Nikki Glaser had the perfect answer to that, a resounding yes! And she proved it in under ten minutes. Known for her razor-sharp wit and fearless roasts, Glaser hit the stage and delivered an opening monologue that was just perfect!

Inside the Beverly Hilton at Sunday’s Golden Globes provided a dramatically different viewing experience from anything you saw on television. Gold Derby’s reporters were stationed throughout the room, the backstage area, and, yes, the bar to record all the key moments that weren’t broadcast by CBS’ camera crews.

Here’s the best of what we saw.

Serious security

In the wake of the New Orleans terrorist attack, the level of security at the Globes was unprecedented. The streets surrounding the Beverly Hilton were cleared of vehicles and there was a more pronounced police presence from years past. The shuttle ferrying production crew, publicists, and media from the off-site lot to the Hilton had to navigate a circuitous route through and around secruity, making the normally 2-minute trip into a 20-minute odyssey.
