NOTABLE SHOW HIGHLIGHTS

Nikki Glaser, the first solo female host in Golden Globes® history, delivered a masterful 10-minute opening monologue that didn’t skip a beat. Highlights from her monologue include:

• Kicking it off with a reference to the longtime show venue, “I’ve got to say: This feels like I finally made it. I’m in a room full of producers at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, and this time all of my clothes are on.”
• A bit about how the year’s nominated TV shows The Bear, The Penguin, and Baby Reindeer are not “just things found in RFK’s freezer”
• The comedian also turned her attention to Ben Affleck, “Yes, Wicked, Queer, Nightbitch. These are not just words Ben Affleck yells after he orgasms. These are some of the incredible movies nominated tonight.”
• “Thank you so much for all of your hard work,” Glaser said of Kidman, who is nominated for Babygirl. “Thank you. Thank you for working so hard, and thank you to Keith Urban for playing guitar around the house so much that she wants to leave and make 18 movies a year.”
