Golden Globes 2025: A Night of Surprises and Intrigue

A recap of the 82nd Golden Globes Awards, highlighting unexpected winners, notable performances, and a discussion on the complexities of gender identity in the entertainment industry.

Sunday, January 5, 2025 is Golden Globes Night At 5PM, I decided to watch the Golden Globes awards show, even though there is an encore performance at 8PM. The 82nd Golden Globes took place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, hosted by Nikki Glaser.

As I watched this year’s Golden Globes, I noticed I haven’t seen or even been aware of most of these movies. I haven’t even heard of some of the actors. But the only movie that I have watched in the movie cinema was WICKED, mostly because I read the novel. I kind of watched the movie, The Substance, on YouTubers’ reaction videos, which was interesting and entertaining because it gave me an idea what the movie was about as well as an overall summary of the movie, even though I thought the movie was disgusting, weird, and strange. But I thought the actors were good in the movie, portraying their crazy characters. If the other movies come on the Indie Channels, I might check out these movies.

In 2024, I did watch Blink Twice, but on the Indie Channel. I wasn't aware it was a 2024 movie because I wasn't aware of it when it came out in the theaters. I just noticed some Youtubers talking about this film, comparing it to the Diddy White Parties. Therefore, it got my interest when I suddenly noticed it on the Indie Channel. It was an interesting thriller movie, fun to watch. But this movie wasn't nominated for a Golden Globe.

Karla Sofia Gason is a transgender male to female actor, formerly known as Juan Carlos Gascon. He/She is from Alcobendas, Spain, but he/she worked as an actress in Mexico. He/She is married to Marisa Gutierres and they have one daughter. This is confusing. A man married a woman and they had one daughter. Then, the man transgenders to a woman. Does that mean he is now a lesbian?
