Golden Globe Awards 2025 nominations: Full list of nominees confirmed

As a seasoned critic with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that this year’s nominees truly outshine the stars in the night sky. The sheer talent and diversity in these lists are nothing short of breathtaking.

Although we’re not at the year’s end, the 2025 awards season is underway, as the nominees have been announced for the 82nd edition of the prestigious Golden Globe Awards.

2025 film award nominations have Emilia Pérez in the front running, as her movie has garnered ten nominations. Competing for significant prizes are also titles like The Brutalist, Conclave, and Anora.

This year, The Bear has been a standout in the TV award scene, with nominations across five different categories. Competition comes from notable shows like Shogun and Baby Reindeer as well.

Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut revealed the nominees, whereas the upcoming event will be led by Nikki Glaser as host in the following year.

On January 5th (at 5pm Pacific Time/8pm Eastern Time, which translates to 1am Greenwich Mean Time on the 6th of January), you can watch the 82nd Golden Globe Awards live on CBS or stream it later on Paramount Plus, if that’s more convenient for you.

Read on for the full list of Golden Globes 2025 nominees.
