The 2025 Golden Globe nominations have been announced, and all eyes are on this major milestone in the evolving awards season. Jon M. Chu’s musical blockbuster “Wicked” seemed to be the kind of juggernaut the Globes have historically liked to honor — but remember, in 2023 the Hollywood Foreign Press Association disbanded, following Penske Media Eldridge’s purchase of the Globes, and an increase in voting membership improved the diversity of the body selecting the awards. (Penske Media Corporation also owns IndieWire.)
And indeed, “Wicked” only got four nominations when all was said and done. The most noms received by a film were 10 for Best Motion Picture Musical or Comedy nominee “Emilia Pérez,” Jacques Audiard’s musical starring Karla Sofia Gascon, Selena Gomez, and Zoe Saldana (who all received noms, along with their director). “The Brutalist” also scored big with seven nominations, including for Best Motion Picture Drama, and actors Felicity Jones, Guy Pearce, and Adrien Brody.
“The Bear” led the TV nominations with five, while “Shogun” and “Only Murders in the Building” followed with four nominations each.
So far, the awards season hasn’t rallied around any one consensus choice: The Gotham Awards gave Best Film to “A Different Man,” the New York Film Critics Circle to “The Brutalist,” and the LA Film Critics Circle gave it to “Anora.”
Here is the full nominees list for the 2025 Golden Globe Awards. They were announced live by Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut. The actual ceremony will air on CBS on January 5, with Nikki Glaser as host.
