Golden Globes voters may not be known as the Hollywood Foreign Press Association anymore, but Monday’s (Dec 9) nominations for the 82nd edition of the awards certainly had an international flavor.
Emilia Perez – a Mexico-set, Spanish-language musical by a French director and The Brutalist – about a Hungarian emigre architect in the United States – led the field on the motion picture side with 10 and seven nominations, respectively.
The films nominated alongside Emilia Perez in the musical/comedy picture category were Anora, Challengers, A Real Pain, The Substance and Wicked. A Complete Unknown, Conclave, Dune: Part Two, Nickel Boys and September 5 joined The Brutalist as nominees for drama picture.
The Bear led the nominations on the TV side overall with five, followed by Only Murders In The Building and Shogun, which earned four nominations each.
The 2025 Golden Globes ceremony marks the second edition of the event since the awards came under new ownership in 2023.
After a temporary fall from grace when a 2021 LA Times investigation revealed a lack of diversity in its membership and raised concerns around its ethics and financial practises, the Golden Globes’ original organising body was dissolved and converted into a for-profit enterprise.
The Sex Lives Of College Girls co-creator Mindy Kaling and Watson star Morris Chestnut were on hand to unveil the nominations for the 27 film and television categories. The awards will be presented in a live telecast on Jan 5 in the US.
