Ariana Grande was caught off guard by a lighthearted but risqué joke her mother, Joan, made about Harrison Ford at the 2025 Golden Globes. The anecdote emerged during a red-carpet interview with Entertainment Tonight on Sunday. Joan, beaming with pride for her daughter's Golden Globe nomination, made a humorous yet suggestive remark about meeting Ford at the event.
Grande reacted with a mix of amusement and surprise, covering her mouth and laughing. Her mother, ever playful, jokingly requested the interview segment be removed. The incident further highlights the comedic undertones of the awards ceremony.
Grande was nominated for her role as Glinda in the hit musical Wicked. While the nomination was a cause for celebration, the evening's outcome also showcased the triumph of Wicked, which won a coveted award for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement. Ironically, the Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy award went to Zoe Saldana.
Beyond the comedic exchange, the event offered a range of other compelling moments. Shogun dominated in the television categories, while The Brutalist, lauded as a cinematic masterpiece, secured several accolades including Best Actor for Adrien Brody. Emilia Pérez also enjoyed notable success, taking home several awards, including an unexpected victory for Best Motion Picture: Musical or Comedy.
Demi Moore, starring in The Substance, delivered a poignant speech upon receiving her first major award in a 45-year career. Her speech touched upon criticism received from a Hollywood executive, illustrating the trials and triumphs within the film industry.
Fashion choices also played a part. Ariana Grande wore a yellow Givenchy gown, while Joan Grande opted for a stylish black ensemble. Cynthia Erivo, another Wicked star, donned a striking black and silver Louis Vuitton dress.
