New year, new awards season! The Golden Globe Awards are here to kick things off, and the 2025 Golden Globes nominations list is stocked with the biggest and boldest on-screen stories of the past year. Keep scrolling to check out the complete list of nominees.
This year’s Globes are set to take place on Sunday, January 5 at Los Angeles’s Beverly Hilton Hotel, and the nominations were announced last month on December 9 by actors Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut. Movie fans pay very close attention to the Globes nominations, as they’re often a solid indicator of what to expect from other big-name awards shows, like the Academy Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards, and Primetime Emmy Awards.
The Golden Globe Awards are categorized by genre (drama and musical/comedy) and also include television categories; last year’s Globes introduced two new categories, Cinematic and Box Office Achievement and Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television. (Barbie won the former, and former frequent Globes host Ricky Gervais won the latter.)
Last year’s Golden Globe Awards were… eventful in more ways than one. Big winners included Lily Gladstone, who won for her role in Killers of the Flower Moon; Da’Vine Joy Randolph, who swept awards season for her work in The Holdovers (she won the Oscar, too!); and Ayo Edebiri, who also swept the season for her role as Sydney in The Bear.
But the action wasn’t only happening on stage — comedian Jo Koy, who served as host, ruffled a few feathers with his jokes, including an unimpressed Taylor Swift; Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet made their official awards show debut, cozying up and posing for pics at their table instead of the red carpet; and the It Couple even got stirred into some awards season tea when fans speculated Selena Gomez was whispering to Taylor Swift about them. (Gomez later clarified that she was not, in fact, gossiping about the pair.) Oh, and remember when everyone smelled that Jacob Elordi bathwater candle on the red carpet?
The 82nd annual Golden Globe Awards will air live on CBS on Sunday, January 5. The three-hour live broadcast will air at 5 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. ET. Emmy-nominated comedian Nikki Glaser will host, and EGOT Viola Davis will be honored with the night’s biggest achievement, the 2025 Cecil B. DeMille Award.
