The excitement is building as the nominations for the 2025 Golden Globe Awards have been announced! Fans and film lovers are buzzing with anticipation about which films and stars will take home the coveted awards, and there are some surprising nominations this year.
The Nominations Are Here
The 2025 Golden Globe nominations were unveiled in December by actress Mindy Kaling and actor Morris Chestnut. The awards ceremony will be held on January 5th at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, and it will be hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser. This year has brought some interesting choices, including a record-breaking nomination count for one film!
Record-Breaking Nominations
Jacques Audiard’s *Emilia Pérez* has made waves by leading the nominations with an amazing ten nods. This is a historic moment, setting a new record for the most nominations in the musical/comedy category. Other films that are expected to make waves include Brady Corbet’s *The Brutalist*, which received seven nominations, and Edward Berger’s *Conclave*, that secured six nominations.
Big Stars in the Spotlight
Ariana Grande is making headlines as she garnered her first Golden Globe nomination for her role in the film adaptation of *Wicked*, where she is competing for Best Supporting Actress. Interestingly, while *Wicked* received a total of four nominations, it did not secure nods for Best Original Score or Best Original Song, primarily because it uses music from the original Broadway show instead of newly composed music specifically for the film.
Not Just Movies — TV Nominations
Not only films are being celebrated, as the television categories are buzzing too! The series *The Bear* is leading the TV nominations this year with five nods, followed closely by *Shōgun* and *Only Murders in the Building*, each securing four nominations. The TV categories are always a hot topic, and this year is no different with many fan-favorite shows in the mix.
Honoring Legends
This year’s ceremony will also recognize two legendary figures in the industry. Viola Davis will receive the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement, while Ted Danson will be honored with the Carol Burnett Award. These special acknowledgments certainly add extra sparkle to the event!

The Golden Globe Awards are often seen as a sneak peek of the Oscars, showcasing the most celebrated movies, performances, and shows of the year. For many stars, this is not just an award but a platform to showcase their hard work and talent. Fans also enjoy watching their favorites come together for a glamorous evening full of surprises, laughter, and perhaps a few emotional speeches.
