Jodie Foster Wins Fifth Golden Globe Award

Jodie Foster won her fifth Golden Globe at the 2025 awards for her role as Liz Danvers in HBO’s True Detective: Night Country, making it her third Golden Globe win in this category. During her acceptance speech, Foster expressed gratitude to her showrunner Issa López and acknowledged the Indigenous people whose stories inspired the series. The win comes amid playful heckling from fellow nominee Sofía Vergara, who jokingly asked for an award herself as Foster approached the stage. Critics highlighted that while Foster's performance was commendable, other nominees like Cristin Milioti and Cate Blanchett also delivered outstanding work deserving recognition. Foster also shared a heartfelt message for her family, emphasizing the joy of meaningful work, and referenced the complexities of her character in the series. The Golden Globes continue to serve as a key indicator for upcoming Academy Awards nominations.
