On Sunday night, the 2025 Golden Globes made a comeback with a lively event filled with spontaneous bursts of laughter. To begin with, host Nikki Glaser didn’t shy away from her sharp wit during her opening speech, especially when she took aim at the critically and commercially underperforming movie Joker: Folie à Deux. Nevertheless, it was not the sarcastic host who stole the show but rather an unusual feature of the ceremony – the presentation of “fun facts” about presenters and winners. These quirky details about Hollywood’s elite popped up every time one of the esteemed guests appeared on screen, offering intriguing and sometimes bizarre insights into the world of the rich and famous.
In a more conversational style, the sentence could be rephrased as: “I’m okay with Joker 2 making bathroom humor at the Golden Globes, as long as they avoid mentioning Lady Gaga’s name.

In a scathing critique, the comedian criticized the upcoming DC musical sequel in a way that was as savage as it was humorous. To set up her jest, she first showered praise on “Wicked” and its triumphant run on stage. “I adored it,” she expressed, adding, “My partner adored it, too. And so did his partner.” The moment arrived to discuss the DC production’s biggest flop of 2024, “Joker 2”, and she couldn’t resist a jab. “Some people said it was marred by the visuals on screen and the sounds that accompanied them,” she quipped, eliciting laughter from her audience. As if to show sympathy for the snubbed production, she feigned concern: “I’m sorry, dear Joker 2. It seems your table isn’t here. That’s right.” The joke resonated powerfully given that the much-anticipated Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix musical was conspicuously absent from any nominations.

During Glaser’s captivating speech, the unique pop-up trivia during the ceremony quickly gained popularity on social media. These tidbits offered entertaining, unexpected details about celebrities that viewers found intriguing. For example, did you realize Demi Moore owns more than 2,000 vintage dolls? This was one of the fun facts shared about the Best Actress winner of the night, who won for her outstanding performance in The Substance. To add to the excitement, another interesting fact tag revealed: “Demi Moore was born in Roswell, New Mexico, a town known for its association with alien conspiracy theories.
The Golden Globes shared some intriguing trivia, ranging from endearingly geeky (Vin Diesel’s love for Dungeons & Dragons) to downright peculiar. For example, viewers discovered that Nicolas Cage has a pet crow named Hoover who resides in a geodesic dome at his Las Vegas residence. It was also revealed through the Golden Globes that Andrew Garfield was frequently moved from one Starbucks store to another because he was often found sitting down by his managers. Even the seemingly straightforward facts had an unusual specificity, such as disclosing that Dwayne Johnson holds several Guinness World Records, including one for the most selfies on a red carpet in three minutes.
Big Winners and Surprising Upsets
Although FX’s “Shōgun” swept the television awards with an impressive four victories, HBO Max’s “The Penguin” secured a particularly significant triumph during the night. Colin Farrell’s win for Best TV Actor in a Limited Series serves as confirmation of the network’s confidence in the gritty crime drama, which broadens the universe of “The Batman” beyond the cape and cowl.
Although the series garnered praise and high viewership, it surprisingly didn’t secure wins in the categories of Best Limited Series (which went to “Baby Reindeer”) and Best TV Supporting Actress for Cristin Milioti’s impressive portrayal of Sofia Falcone (won by Jodie Foster in “True Detective: Night Country”). However, Farrell’s victory solidifies the series as a significant spinoff in Matt Reeves’ successful film franchise, at a time when DC Studios seems uncertain about how to utilize Reeves’ Elseworld universe. Fingers crossed that a Golden Globe win can help steer the Reevesverse back on course.
The Penguin is currently available for streaming on Max.
