The 2025 Golden Globe nominations were announced on Monday, and Jacques Audiard’s musical Emilia Pérez stole the spotlight, racking up a whopping 10 nods. The charming Netflix-acquired film, which premiered at Cannes, is a genre-blending tale of a drug cartel with a musical twist. It’s in the running for best motion picture – musical or comedy, with Audiard nominated for best director. Stars Zoe Saldana, Selena Gomez (supporting actress), and Karla Sofia Gascón (lead actress) also received acting nods, alongside nominations for screenplay, original score, and more.
Right behind is The Brutalist, Brady Corbet’s sweeping drama from A24, which earned seven nominations. The film follows the challenges of a Hungarian architect entangled with an enigmatic art patron. It’s nominated for best motion picture – drama, with acting nods for Adrien Brody, Felicity Jones, and Guy Pearce (supporting). The film also picked up nominations for its screenplay and score.
Another strong contender is Conclave from Focus Features, with six nods. The film, centred on a papal election filled with intrigue, earned Ralph Fiennes a best actor in a drama nomination for his portrayal of a conflicted priest. Co-star Isabella Rossellini received a supporting actress nod, while the film scored nominations for best picture, screenplay, and score.
Other standout films include Anora, Challengers, A Real Pain, Wicked, and Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance, which surprised many with four nominations, including best musical or comedy and acting nods for Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley.
The year also saw several double (and even triple) nominees. Sebastian Stan is up for best actor in both comedy/musical (A Different Man) and drama (The Apprentice). Kate Winslet snagged nominations for her lead role in Lee and as a limited series actress in HBO’s The Regime. Selena Gomez earned acting nods for Emilia Pérez and Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building, while Audiard scored nominations for directing, screenwriting, and his work on the original song “El Mal.”
On the TV front, FX/Hulu’s The Bear dominated with five nominations, including acting nods for Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri. Only Murders in the Building and Shogun secured four each, while Netflix’s surprise hit Nobody Wants This earned acting and series nods.
Meanwhile, new categories like best stand-up special and global box office recognition return, featuring top contenders like Wicked, Deadpool & Wolverine, and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
It’s shaping up to be an exciting awards season!
