Ariana Grande, Zoe Saldaña, Mikey Madison and more step out for Golden Globes nominee luncheon

Some of Hollywood’s brightest stars gathered at the Golden Globes’ first-time nominee luncheon on Tuesday, which celebrated actors and artisans who achieved their first nomination for the 2025 Golden Globes. The stylish event allowed celebrities to meet, kick back, and have some fun prior to the big night on Jan. 5.

Wicked star Ariana Grande shared a touching moment with The Last Showgirl‘s Pamela Anderson, both of whom earned critical acclaim for their performances this year. Grande stars as Galinda in Universal Pictures’ adaptation of the Broadway musical, which has grossed nearly $360 million at the U.S. box office to date. Anderson plays Shelly in Roadside Attractions’ indie, which has earned the 57-year-old the best reviews of her career.

TV and movie stars will all be celebrated at the 82nd ceremony next month. Emmy winner Hiroyuki Sanada (Shōgun) celebrates his Best TV Drama Actor nomination with Best Film Comedy/Musical Actress nominee Mikey Madison (Anora) and Best TV Supporting Actor hopeful Cooper Koch (Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story).

Emilia Pérez standout Zoe Saldaña earned her first nom for Best Film Supporting Actress. She was seen mingling with Adam Brody, who is nominated for Best TV Comedy Actor in Nobody Wants This.

Pamela Anderson was also pictured with Agatha All Along star Kathryn Hahn, who is nominated for Best TV Comedy Actress, and Robbie Williams, who co-wrote the Globe-nominated tune “Forbidden Road” from his own unique biopic, Better Man.

Who says they’re rivals? Zoe Saldaña and Ariana Grande may be competing in the same category, but they’re all smiles as they take a quick selfie together.

Kathryn Hahn and Cooper Koch shared a laugh before sitting down for lunch.

Adam Brody and Hiroyuki Sanada welcomed Saturday Night‘s Gabriel LaBelle, a nominee for Best Film Comedy/Musical Actor, to the party.
