The Abbott Elementary cast traded the classroom for a night out at the 2025 Golden Globes — although the beloved show did not add to its collection of awards this time.
The cast arrived at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on Sunday, January 5, for the 82nd iteration of the award show, celebrating their two nominations. The ABC series earned a nod for Best Television Series — Musical or Comedy while the show’s creator and star Quinta Brunson was up for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series — Comedy.
Brunson, 35, ultimately lost to Jean Smart for her performance on Hacks. Later in the evening, Abbott Elementary lost Best Television Series — Musical or Comedy to Hacks.
In the best comedy category, Abbott Elementary faced some tough competition from Hacks, Only Murders in the Building, Nobody Wants This, The Gentlemen and The Bear. This is Abbott’s third year being nominated in the category, previously taking home the coveted prize in 2023. At last year’s ceremony, The Bear won.
The 2025 Golden Globe Awards red carpet has been rolled out and stars have arrived in style. Supermodel Ashley Graham was one of the first to turn up on the scene, and she stunned in a sweeping black silk moiré gown by Bach Mai with a plunging neckline cut down to there. Meanwhile, actress Zuri […]
Sunday also marked the third time Brunson, 35, received a nod for her portrayal of Janine Teagues. This year, she was recognized alongside Kristen Bell (Nobody Wants This), Ayo Edebiri (The Bear), Selena Gomez (Only Murders in the Building), Kathryn Hahn (Agatha All Along) and Jean Smart (Hacks). Brunson won the Golden Globe in 2023 as a first-time nominee. She was also nominated last year but lost to Edebiri.
None of Abbott’s supporting cast were nominated for a Golden Globe this year. Janelle James and Sheryl Lee Ralph were both up for Best Supporting Actress in a Television Series – Comedy/Musical or Drama in 2023 but lost to Julia Garner for Ozark. Tyler James Williams, who plays Bruson’s love interest, Gregory Eddie, won Best Supporting Actor in a Television Series – Comedy/Musical or Drama in 2023 as a first-time nominee.
There’s no slow-burn love story like Abbott Elementary’s Janine Teagues and Gregory Eddie, and star Tyler James Williams concurs. “I love the innocent places we get to go to,” the 30-year-old actor, who stars as Gregory opposite Quinta Brunson’s Janine on the ABC sitcom, exclusively told Us Weekly at PaleyFest in Los Angeles on Saturday, April 1. “[And] […]
Since Abbott’s first Golden Globe win for its inaugural season, the sitcom has come a long way. Fans got their wish as Janine and Gregory became a couple in season 3. Following its October 2024 premiere, season 4 has brought a lot of laughs and is prepared to deliver more in a highly anticipated crossover with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
“I think it’s very cool,” Brunson exclusively told Us Weekly of the special event. “I think it’s unexpected and I think that it’ll be like a delight to the audience of both shows. You know, I think it’ll be very exciting for the people who watch our shows. And if they watch one show and not the other, I think that’s cool too because it’ll make people interested in that show. I’m just excited about it and I think it’s just a fun way to shake up TV.”
