Predicting the Winners of the 2025 Golden Globes
The 2025 Golden Globes ceremony is just around the corner, and with the nominations revealed, it’s time to predict the winners in every movie category. The Golden Globes voting body has shown a strong affinity for Emilia Pérez, which has led the way with 10 nominations, while The Brutalist and Conclave are the other two most nominated films.
Best Motion Picture – Drama
Predicted Winner: The Brutalist
The Brutalist is expected to win in this category, with its seven nominations across all categories and critical backing. It’s gaining traction in awards season after its theatrical release, making it a strong contender to win Best Motion Picture – Drama.
Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy
Predicted Winner: Emilia Pérez
Emilia Pérez is the favorite film of the Golden Globes voting body, making it the safe and obvious choice to win in this category. This would be a significant moment for the Netflix-distributed musical, as it would beat out several other movies thought to be in better position to win Best Picture Oscars 2025.
Best Performance By A Male Actor In A Motion Picture – Drama
Predicted Winner: Timothée Chalamet (A Complete Unknown)
Timothée Chalamet is expected to win in this category for his transformative performance as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. This is his fourth nomination by the Globes, and after missing out on winning the previous three, this should be the time that Chalamet becomes a Golden Globes winner.
Best Original Score
Predicted Winner: Hans Zimmer (Dune: Part Two)
Hans Zimmer’s score for Dune: Part Two is expected to win in this category, bringing the power of the music to the film and helping it shine.
Best Original Song
Predicted Winner: "Mi Camino" (Emilia Pérez)
Emilia Pérez is the frontrunner to win Best Original Song, with two different nominated songs for voters to choose from. Between "Mi Camino" and "El Mal," I’m giving the edge to Selena Gomez’s number over Zoe Saldaña’s.
Cinematic And Box Office Achievement
Predicted Winner: Deadpool & Wolverine
In only its second year as a Golden Globes category, the 2025 lineup for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement is loaded with some of the biggest films of the year. After awarding Barbie with the first ever victory in the category last year, there’s some sense in predicting 2024’s highest grossing movie – Inside Out 2 – to be the winner. However, Deadpool & Wolverine had a big impact on theaters, pop culture, and more, making it the predicted winner.
