The 2025 Golden Globe nominations have been announced, and the ceremony will take place on January 5, 2025. The Golden Globes are one of the most important award shows in Hollywood, and the winners are likely to influence the outcome of other major award shows, such as the British Academy Film Awards and the Academy Awards.
The Golden Globes nominations included several expected names, but also some surprises. The drug cartel musical Emilia Pérez leads the way with 10 nominations, followed by the A24 drama The Brutalist with 7 nominations, and the Ralph Fiennes-led Conclave with 5 nominations.
Despite controversy in the past, the Golden Globes remain an important night for the year’s biggest movies and TV shows during awards season. The ceremony is often seen as a precursor to the Academy Awards, and winning a Golden Globe can give an actor or director the necessary momentum to find success at the Oscars.
In recent years, there have been some variations in the results between the Golden Globes and the Oscars. However, the Golden Globes have tended to favor films and individuals that go on to do well at the Academy Awards. This year, films like Emilia Pérez, The Brutalist, and Conclave are shaping up to be strong contenders for Best Picture, along with films like Anora, A Real Pain, Wicked, and the surprise 2024 horror movie hit The Substance.
The Golden Globes have also had an impact on the 2025 Oscars race, with the winners in the Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Picture categories likely to influence the outcome of the Academy Awards. Several actors, including Sebastian Stan and Selena Gomez, received Golden Globe nominations in multiple categories this year.
Ultimately, the 2025 Golden Globes will be an important moment in awards season, with the winners likely to set the stage for the upcoming Academy Awards.
