Nikki Glaser says up top in her Golden Globes 2025 opening monologue that she's not there to roast anyone, but the following 10 minutes says different.

"Wicked, Queer, Nightbitch: these are not just words Ben Affleck yells after he orgasms, these are some of the incredible movies nominated tonight," says Glaser, introducing the nominees. "The Bear, The Penguin, Baby Reindeer: These are not just things found in RFK's freezer, these are TV shows nominated tonight."

Nobody is safe in her opening monologue, with Glaser taking aim at everyone from Martin Short ("And Martin Short is here, because we have cameras!") to Timothée Chalamet ("You have the most gorgeous eyelashes on your upper lip!"). After her famous Tom Brady roast, did we expect anything else?
