The 2025 Golden Globe nominations have been announcedgiving us a better idea of which films might have what it takes to make it to Oscar night, though the full list of nominations also contains a number of perplexing nominations that feel like classic Golden Globe picks .
Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut revealed today that Emilia Pérez leads this year’s nominations with 10 total nominations, the highest number ever awarded to a musical or comedy, and representing a welcome injection of confidence for Jacques Audiard’s unconventional musical after it had been largely overlooked by previous awards, including the New York Film Critics Circle Awards and the Gotham Awards . Lots of nominations too for the work of Brady Corbet, The Brutalist, a firm favourite, surprisingly not nominated at the Independent Spirit Awards last week.
So far, awards season has been unpredictable: from the very small Sing Sing to the colossal WickedIn fact, there have been many disparate films that have won various awards usually considered precursors to the Oscars; moreover, most of the other major film competitions weren’t particularly obvious either. Making a distinction between “dramatic” and “comedy or musical” films (and series), i Golden Globes are structured to nominate as many people and content as possible, which might mean that actually Not they constitute a reliable indicator of any momentum towards the Oscars. However, if some film manages to obtain a significant number of nominations, will definitely be one to keep an eye on before the Oscar nominations are announced in January.
The Golden Globes also have a habit of making bizarre decisions such as, e.g. nominate Pamela Anderson for The Last Showgirl, one of the biggest surprises in a year full of surprises, which looks especially promising after a 2024 ceremony in which most of the wins went to the most anticipated projects: Oppenheimer, Succession and The Bear.
The 2025 ceremony also looks set to be an exciting one. This year it will be presented by Nikki Glaser. Glaser, with his sharp tongue, seems to be the right person for the Globes, able to needle the ceremony attendees in the right way, unlike last year’s host, Jo Koy, whose performance was a real disaster . And it doesn’t end here: Viola Davis will receive the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award, and Ted Danson, will receive the equivalent for television actors, the Carol Burnett Award.
