Aubrey Plaza announced as presenter at 2025 Golden Globes award

Plaza was scheduled to present at the 2025 Golden Globes but is now unlikely to attend following the recent passing of her husband, filmmaker Jeff Baena. The actress was set to join notable figures such as Glenn Close, Demi Moore, and Nicolas Cage as a presenter at the awards ceremony on Sunday, Mail reports.

She has not yet made an official statement regarding her husband’s tragic passing. However, her reps provided a statement to the deadline stating, “The family is devastated and asks for privacy at this difficult time.”

In May 2021, she shared a loving tribute to her husband on Instagram. This appears to be her only public post with him before his sudden death on Friday. “So proud of my darling husband @jeffbaena for dreaming up another film that takes us to Italia to cause some more trouble,” the caption read.
