Golden Globes 2025: Inside the Star-Studded Parties (original) (raw)

A new year delivered a hectic events schedule to kick off the first weekend of the year with the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday. That meant a lot of mingling between movie and TV stars in the lead-up to Hollywood’s “party of the year,” hosted by Nikki Glaser from inside the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills. Well, there was a lot of mixing and mingling in general at A-list venues from Chateau Marmont and Sunset Tower to Funke over the weekend as Hollywood returned en masse to the party circuit, presumably rested and refreshed from the holiday break and ready for the next three months of awards season madness. Off to the races!

Golden Gloe winners show off their new trophies.
Party: Walt Disney Co.
Players: All the Shogun winners made the rounds, as did winner Kieran Culkin, who worked the room filled with casts from Abbott Elementary and The Bear, nominees like Amy Adams, Edward Norton, Jesse Eisenberg, Dakota Fanning and Quinta Brunson, and guests like Anthony Ramos, Kevin Bacon, Scott McNairy, Ali Larter, Fred Berger, Sosie Bacon, Anthony Mackie, Paris Jackson, Carlos Eric Lopez, Rozzi Crane, Alex Wolff and more. The executive roster included Dana Walden, Matthew Greenfield, David Greenbaum, Alan Bergman, Steve Asbell, Gina Balian, Nick Grad, Asad Ayaz, Karey Burke, Craig Erwich, Eric Schrier, Pete Docter and others.
Place: Funke
Served: An array of Funke dishes from pizza and pasta — including diavola, amalfitana, cacio e pepe and pesto — with appetizers like fried artichoke hearts, squash blossoms and croquette mortadella meatballs. Sips included an Amalfi (Malfy orginale gin, genepy, rosemary, juniper and tonic), Marche (vodka, Averna, espresso, seasonal citrus oleo), Sicilia (tequila, amara, prickly pear and lime) and a Na-Groni (bittersweet rooibos, lyres aperitif ross, giffard bitters and an orange peel).
Inside Dish: “It’s a miracle,” Shogun star Hiroyuki Sanada told THR of the night, which delivered a sweep for the FX phenomenon. “I’m just so happy.” That joyful feeling swept through the Beverly Hills restaurant as Disney hosted a gaggle of winners, executives, collaborators and friends from its umbrella of companies for an intimate (and foodie-filled) soiree. On the scene were Sanada’s Shogun peers like Anna Sawai, A Real Pain winner Kieran Culkin, who dropped in with his new hardware and his manager, Emily Gerson Saines. (She got several shout-outs during the show thanks to a win for another client, Sebastian Stan.) Emma Stone, nominated as a producer for A Real Pain, made the rounds and checked in with Searchlight’s Matthew Greenfield before ducking out close to 10 p.m. She just missed Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons, who arrived and immediately headed to a rooftop terrace to catch up with the actress’ younger brother, Christian.

Party: W Magazine’s annual Best Performances Party
Players: A room filled with so many stars it could give Vanity Fair’s Oscars party a run for its money. Those on the scene included “Best Performances” cover stars Nicole Kidman, Zoe Saldaña, Demi Moore, Adrien Brody, Cynthia Erivo, Mia Goth, Daniel Craig, Tilda Swinton, Angelina Jolie and Colman Domingo, and “Best Performances” portfolio subjects Mikey Madison, Maisy Stella, Danielle Deadwyler, Drew Starkey, Lily Collias, Ryan Destiny, Karla Sofía Gascón, Pamela Anderson, Adria Arjona, Andrew Garfield and Fernanda Torres. Additional guests included Zoë Kravitz, Sarah Paulson, Jared Leto, Andrew Scott, Kiera Knightly, Rashida Jones, Ayo Edebiri, Hannah Einbinder, Quinta Brunson, Joey King, Richard Gadd, Kathryn Hahn, Monica Barbarao, Edgar Ramírez, Jessica Gunning, Jordan Firstman, Theo James, the Haim sisters, Eiza Gonzalez, Alia Shawkat, Lykke Li, Sean Baker, Luca Guadagnino, Pablo Larraín, Halina Reijn, Coralie Fargeat, Gia Coppola, Malcolm Washington, Daniel Kwan, Melina Matsoukas, Janicza Bravo, Bryan Lourd, Kevin Huvane, Nicolas Ghesquière, Hedi Slimane, Arianne Phillips, Derek Blasberg, Christian Louboutin (who presented the event) and others.
Place: Chateau Marmont
Served: Light bites like classic Chateau Marmont party staples along with a Casamigos-fueled bar with two specialty cocktails curated just for the occasion including Casamigos spicy cucumber margaritas and Casa Luna cocktails.
Inside Dish: If we told you that there were barricades up to block a horde of fans that had been lined up since 3 p.m., a police presence to help control the flow of traffic (and help calm tensions between frenzied paparazzi and autograph seekers) and a check-in line filled with A-list stars and more than a handful of nominees and Oscar winners, you’d be easily forgiven for thinking we were talking about the scene outside the Golden Globes. Instead, the action above all took place Saturday night outside Chateau Marmont, ground zero for celebrity action thanks to W. Due to Friday night’s Palm Springs Film Awards, the magazine moved the annual celebration for its always stunning “Performances” franchise from Friday to Saturday night, and the switch seemed to pay off in starry ways. The room was overflowing with actors, artists, auteurs, fashion designers, glitterati and two of last year’s biggest pop stars in Charli XCX and Sabrina Carpenter. In one corner, Jolie caught up in a close conversation with Saldaña, on the terrace, Taika Waititi held court in the center for quite a while (catching up with Jessica Alba), Garfield and Edebiri laughed it up near the doorway, while Baby Reindeer star Gunning was on the hunt for Scott, always one of the most popular party guests. DJ Ross One kept the vibes going, pumping out enough hits to keep the dance floor going past midnight. THR spotted Paulson busting a move in a corner by the bar, while Oscar-winning filmmaker Kwan showed off his moves to a track from Beyoncé’s Renaissance album, and Smith, with pointy, oversized leather ears covering his head, danced his way across the penthouse living room.
