LOS ANGELES: The wait is finally over as nominations for Golden Globes 2025 have been announced. And guess what? ‘Emilia Perez’ has dominated the list.

As per Variety, Jacques Audiard’s charming drug cartel musical has scored 10 nominations. It’s up for best motion picture-musical or comedy, director for Audiard, supporting actress for Zoe Saldana and Selena Gomez, actress for Karla Sofia Gascon, screenplay, original score and more.

Not far behind is Brady Corbet’s ‘The Brutalist’, a sweeping A24 drama about the trials of a Hungarian architect under the thumb of an enigmatic art patron. In addition to nabbing a nod for best motion picture-drama, stars Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones both scored acting nominations and Guy Pearce took one for supporting. The project was also recognized in score and screenplay categories. That’s seven total, one more than the haul from another leading contender, Focus Features’ ‘Conclave’.

Its star Ralph Fiennes earned a Best Actor in a Drama nomination for his portrayal of a conflicted priest overseeing a papal election crawling with sabotage and subplots. His co-star Isabella Rossellini received supporting actress recognition, with the film fetching score, screenplay and best picture nods.

According to Variety, the year was also strong in double (and triple!) nominees. Sebastian Stan is nominated for Best Actor in a motion picture in both Comedy/Musical (‘A Different Man’) and Drama (‘The Apprentice’). Kate Winslet was recognised as lead Actress in Drama for the biopic ‘Lee’ and as a limited series actress for HBO’s ‘The Regime’.

Selena Gomez received nominations for her performances in ‘Emilia Perez’ and television series-musical or comedy for Hulu’s ‘Only Murders in the Building’. Audiard of ‘Emilia Perez’ received nominations for directing, screenwriting and his contributions to the original song ‘El Mal’.

Speaking of TV projects, ‘The Bear’ is at the top with five nominations. ‘Only Murders in the Building’ and ‘Shogun’ earned four nominations each, with Netflix’s buzzy new rom-com ‘Nobody Wants This’ making a surprise entry with acting and series nods. Newcomers like ;Baby Reindeer’, ‘Disclaimer’ and ‘Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story’ took home three nominations apiece.

Nikki Glaser will host the 2025 Golden Globes, and Emmy-winning producers Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner are set to serve as showrunners, for the second year in a row. It was previously announced that Viola Davis will receive the Cecil B DeMille Award and Ted Danson will receive the Carol Burnett Award, which recognises TV excellence. Both Glaser and Danson also received nominations on Monday morning.
