Golden Globes Broadcast Error Causes Rude Snub on Live on CBS


Shōgun star Hiroyuki Sanada took home Best Television Male Actor – Drama Series at the 2025 Golden Globes, but the moment was slightly tarnished on the CBS broadcast. As the production went through the list of nominees, the camera stayed on Sanada’s fellow nominee Gary Oldman. That meant that Sanada, as well as Billy Bob Thorton and Eddie Redmayne, were not shown on-camera when their names were called. It was a rude snub brought on by an unspecified technical error.

CBS’ production team scrambled and quickly threw up brief shots of Sanada and Thorton, but Redmayne didn’t get a solo moment on camera. Luckily, producers fixed the glitch by the time presenters Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley read out the winner’s name. All nominated actors were shown, including Sanada as he learned he won the award.

The Golden Globes have edited out the moment in YouTube clips taken from the show, though fans captured it and uploaded it above. And many people still saw it happen live. The awkward continued shot on Oldman drew loads of laughs and groans on social media. See some of the reactions below:
