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’sThe 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.
Joker: Folie à Deuxroast at Golden Globes 2025
WhenNikki Glasertalked about the success ofWicked, Joker 2unexpectedly became the target of criticism as both movies were musical adaptations. to build up to her punchline, she started by addressing theater kids, saying she“did not know much about Wicked going into this year because I had friends in high school.”
“It was a little naive”: Nikki Glaser Knew Where Jo Koy Went Wrong in the Golden Globes That She Vowed to Not Repeat
The comedian then set up a devastating comparison as her roast. She said (viaGolden GlobesYouTube),
In Wicked, some people complained that the movie was ruined by people singing. And then in Joker 2, some people complained that the movie was ruined by the images on the screen and the sounds that accompanied them.
Adding fuel to the fire, Glazer sarcastically apologized to the cast and crew ofJoker 2, saying,“I’m sorry, Joker 2. Where’s their table? Oh, they’re not here,”making fun of their non-attendance.
Roasting Timothée Chalamet’s name and his mustache
Timothée Chalamet‘s unusual name provided material for one of the most memorable moments of the show. Glaser called it something that Adam Sandler would shout in one of his character voices. She even got Sandler to demonstrate it by shouting Chalamet’s name in his signature Cajun style.
Apart from his name, theDuneactor’s recent role in Bob Dylan’s biopic couldn’t escape Glaser’s roast disguised as praise. Glaser said,
Dude you were so good in A Complete Unknown as Bob Dylan..wasn’t he just incredible, so good dude..seriously. In fact I actually read that your singing voice was so accurate that even Bob Dylan himself admitted that it was absolutely horrible.
Poor Chalamet’s baby face and facial hair also got targeted by Glaser as the host said,“Timothee Chalamet, you have the most gorgeous eyelashes – on your upper lip.”Chalamet has probably been on the receiving end of the most number of roasts, and it also showed Glaser’s ability to layer her punches, each building on to the next.
Selena Gomez’s fiancé Benny Blanco roast at the Golden Globes
Glaser aimed some of her most sarcastic shots atSelena Gomez, with one remarking on her newly engaged partner, Benny Blanco. After commending Gomez for the double nomination for bothEmilia PérezandOnly Murdersin the Building, the host couldn’t help but make a remark about her date for the evening.
The comedian took a brutal jibe at Blanco saying,
Selena Gomez is here double nominee tonight for Emilia Pérez and Only Murders in the Building and she’s here tonight with her new fiancé Benny Blanco… and Benny Blanco is here because of the genie who granted him that wish..Man lucky guy!!

This is why this joke was good because it was brief and precise. There was no need to add extra words to tell the entire joke when a few words were enough to get the point across.
Nikki Glaser took on Zendaya,Challengers, and Diddy
Zendayadrew the attention for a backhanded compliment when Glaser praised her acting in Dune saying,“Zendaya you were incredible in Dune. I woke up for all of your scenes.”The host then went on with a reference to Challengers, which went a little on the side of controversy.
Nikki Glaser associated the fact that the film is sxually provocative with Diddy’s credit card, which was a reference to the rapper who got into legal trouble due to alleged sx trafficking and other cases. Glaser said,
And Challengers? That was more s*xually charged than Diddy’s credit card..I mean seriously..Oh no, I am upset too. The afterparty is not going to be as good this year. But we have to move on. I know the Stanley Tucci freak-off does not have the same ring to it. No baby oil this year, just lots of olive oil.
The sequence showed Glaser’s ability to connect between several targets- from playful joking about Zendaya to more pointed commentary about industry scandals.
X-rated jokes about Glen Powell and Ben Affleck at Golden Globes 2025
Glaser made some of her most memorable comments when she confrontedGlen Powell. She started by praising Powell for having a busy year with movies likeTwistersandHit Manbefore adding a personal touch. She said,
Glen Powell, you were in everything. Twisters, Hit Man, my head when I’m having s*x with my boyfriend. Thank you so much for the assist. I’ll see you tonight.
The host then took a dig atBen Affleckby word-playing some of the recent movie titles, saying,
Wicked, Queer, Nightbitch — these are not just words Ben Affleck yells after he orgasms. These are some of the incredible movies nominated tonight.
Although some of the jokes pushed boundaries, they were all done in a funny manner where the viewers didn’t feel like they wanted to cringe but laugh instead.

Glaser wrapped up her hosting duties by reminding nominees about the true purpose of their craft,“The point of making art is not to win an award. The point of making art is to start a tequila brand so popular that you never have to make art again.”It was a nice ending to a monologue that was also sarcastic enough, as it was a subtle nod to Dwayne Johnson’s Teremana Tequila brand.
