The 2025 Golden Globe Awards nominations livestream revealed all the movies and TV shows, along with its actors up for an award next year.
It is close to that time of the year as the film festival circuit begins to wrap up; awards season is coming soon. This morning, actors Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut announced in a short livestream video who was in the running for the 82nd Golden Globes, honouring the standouts in both film and television. The 2025 Golden Globe Awards will air live from the Beverly Hilton Hotel on January 5, 2025, on CBS, hosted by stand-up comedian Nikki Glaser.
There are 27 categories across comedy and drama, showcasing a diverse range of titles. In addition to the nominations being announced, the 2025 Golden Globe Awards will feature some major achievement honours. The spectacular Viola Davis will receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award for achievement in film. On the television side, TV legend Ted Danson will be honoured with the Carol Burnett Award, which recognizes individuals who have “made outstanding contributions to television on or off-screen.”
The competition for the best in movies and TV will be intense this year, as both cinema and TV/streaming have delivered numerous outstanding projects. Emilia Pérez leads the film categories with 10 nominations for the crime musical. On the TV side, The Bear garnered the most nominations with five, followed by Shōgun and Only Murders in the Building, with four each.
The Golden Globes continue to do better as they kick off Hollywood’s annual awards season, due to the controversial past with the Globes and its former organizer, the now-disbanded Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA). The controversy reached its climax between 2021 and 2022. In an exposé written by The Los Angeles Times, journalists from the HFPA were accused of soliciting perks from studios to sweeten their chances to be on the ballot.
A shocking lack of diversity within the organization was also highlighted, leading to the awards being shelved in 2022. In the aftermath of the scandal, the committee announced that the award show would return under the Golden Globes Foundation, with new rules and new members, last year.
“The Golden Globes is not only a huge night for TV and film, but also for comedy,” Glaser, 40, said in a previous statement about hosting. “It’s one of the few times that show business not only allows but encourages itself to be lovingly mocked (at least I hope so). (God, I hope so).” She added: “It’s an exciting yet challenging gig because it’s live, unpredictable and in front of Hollywood’s biggest stars (who also might be getting wasted while seated next to their recent exes).”
