Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut announced the nominees for the 2025 Golden Globe Awards Monday morning, giving a preview of the upcoming awards season as they rolled out the list of nominations in each of the ceremony’s 27 categories. Ten of the nominations were unveiled exclusively on “CBS Mornings.”
“Emilia Pérez,” the French director Jacques Audiard’s musical crime-thriller starring Zoe Saldaña and Selena Gomez, leads the Golden Globes nominations this year, with 10 nods overall for its acting, directing, writing and music. After that, the top film competitors were “The Brutalist,” with seven nominations, and “Conclave,” with six.
Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley’s buzzy body horror satire “The Substance” and the independent rom-com “Anora” followed with five nods each.
“The Bear,” “Only Murders in the Building” and “Shōgun” — all from Hulu — emerged as frontrunners for television. “The Bear” earned five nominations, while the other two series each got four.
The announcement capped a big year for TV and film. Over the summer, “Inside Out 2” topped “Frozen 2” to become the highest-grossing animated film ever. Meanwhile, Disney’s “Moana 2” just set a Thanksgiving box office record while “Wicked” and “Gladiator II” battled for ticket sales.
In 2024, “Barbie” and “Succession” were the major players — each tied with nine nominations, followed by “Oppenheimer” scoring eight.
Nikki Glaser will be the first woman to solo host the Golden Globes, which will air live on CBS on Sunday, Jan. 5 at 8 p.m. ET and stream on Paramount+. Glaser called the opportunity “scary” but “thrilling” but said she was up to the challenge.
“I’m extremely appreciative of this role I play. It’s the pinnacle of my career so far. I’ve reached my Everest in getting to host the Globes! I hope it’s something I get to do again,” Glaser told GoldenGlobes.com.
