Stars, Sparkles, and Serious Statues: The Palm Springs Film Awards Get Glamorous and Giddy

Buy Me A Coffee

Hollywood’s glitziest night of the year just bedazzled the desert! The 2025 Palm Springs International Film Awards turned the Palm Springs Convention Center into a glitter bomb of celebs, couture, and overachieving filmmakers on January 3. It was a night where the red carpet saw more action than a blockbuster sequel.

Timothée Chalamet, Selena Gomez, and Colman Domingo: Winning and Grinning
Timothée “Cheekbones” Chalamet, Selena “Multi-Hyphenate Queen” Gomez, and Colman “Scene-Stealer Extraordinaire” Domingo were among the stars snagging shiny trophies. Why? Because apparently, they out-acted everyone else this year. Timothée walked away with the Chairman’s Award, Selena nabbed the Vanguard Award for Emilia Perez, and Colman secured the Spotlight Award for Sing Sing. They basically ruled the evening like benevolent monarchs of cinema.

Awards That Predict Oscars, Apparently
Word on the street is that these awards are psychic—five winners last year went on to win Oscars! So, if you’re placing bets, start here. (Disclaimer: we’re not responsible for your gambling debts.)

Fashion Report: Sequins, Suits, and Some Serious Style
From Nicole Kidman’s Loewe look (translation: expensive) to Mikey Madison’s Miu Miu dress paired with Tiffany & Co. bling, this wasn’t just an awards show; it was a runway with bonus trophies. Ariana Grande sparkled in custom Louis Vuitton, probably worth more than my rent, accessorized with Chopard jewelry that could blind you from space.

The “Who’s Who” List of Hollywood Royalty
Adrien Brody: Picked up the Desert Palm Achievement Award and wore Louis Vuitton because, of course, he did.
Angelina Jolie: Got the Desert Palm Achievement Award for Maria and brought Zahara, because family photo ops are classy.
Ariana Grande: Honored for Wicked and likely still singing her acceptance speech backstage.
Zoe Saldana & Selena Gomez: Shared the Vanguard Award for Emilia Perez because teamwork makes the dream work.

Jennifer Coolidge and the Moment We Didn’t Know We Needed
Jennifer Coolidge, everyone’s favorite scene-stealer, hit the stage to present Ariana Grande’s award. It was like seeing a meme come to life in designer heels.

And Let’s Not Forget… Everyone Else
The room was packed with legends: Jamie Lee Curtis, Stanley Tucci, Sharon Stone, and Andrew Garfield (in Valentino, because spiders aren’t his only superpower). Even Frankie Grande showed up, proving that star power runs in the family.

The Palm Springs Film Awards had everything—celebrities, couture, trophies, and enough star wattage to light up the desert for weeks. The Oscars better step up their game because this night was basically a movie of its own. 🎥✨
