2025 Golden Globes Recap – Full Winners List

​Ladies, gentlemen, those who identify otherwise, we have arrived. The industry’s kick-off to awards season, a.k.a. the Golden Globes, took place last night, and what a whirlwind of a night it was. Following stand-up comic and show host Nikki Glaser’s stellar opening monologue in which she thankfully avoided the tired cliché of joking that a movie was too long, the new Globes leadership got right to work reminding everyone that this is not the same voting body of years past – the kind that would have nominated The Tourist for multiple awards without ever having seen the film, or boosted Emily in Paris’ profile following a string of bribes from the production. Instead, the night begat a healthy mix of both expected winners and surprise victors in multiple categories, largely on the film side (though television did have at least one upset). Emilia Pérez was the big winner of the night, taking home four statues, including one for Best Picture (Musical or Comedy), and Best Supporting Actress for Zoe Saldaña. In second place came Brady Corbet’s mid-century epic The Brutalist, which took home the other Best Picture award in the Drama category, as well as Best Director, and Best Actor in a Drama for Adrien Brody, who now shoots to the front of the line for an Oscar win (it would be his second, following his work in 2002’s The Pianist). Beyond these wins, however, things start to look a little more spread out on the film side.

​Conclave bested Anora in the combined screenplay category, Demi Moore won her first ever acting award in Best Actress (Musical or Comedy) for her performance in The Substance in a stunning blow to Mikey Madison’s awards campaign (also for Anora), and Sebastian Stan managed an upset in the Best Actor (Musical or Comedy) category as well for his incredible work in A Different Man, boosting his profile for the Academy Awards and shouting out The Apprentice – for which he was also nominated – in his acceptance speech. The animated film Flow bested DreamWorks’ The Wild Robot in Best Motion Picture (Animated), effectively shutting the latter out of an Oscar win if it doesn’t pick up some serious momentum soon, and even Fernanda Torres proved that awards pundits have been underestimating her as a serious contender with a win in Best Lead Actress (Drama) for I’m Still Here, which is Brazil’s official submission in the International Feature category at the Oscars. Beyond all of that, Challengers proved that its club dance-esque score by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross is far from dead in the water despite having missed the BAFTA longlists, and Wicked’s only win came in the form of the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement Award. Apart from those wins, the big story of the night was the complete and total shut-out of Anora, which raked in exactly zero wins despite front-runner status in multiple categories. If these new Globes are meant to now be a significant indicator of where the Oscar race is heading, those who have Anora at the top of their winner predictions may want to ease off the gas a bit.

​On the television side (which I won’t spend too much time covering), Hulu and FX’s Shōgun cleaned house in the Drama Series categories, picking up wins for Best Series (Drama), Best Actor (Drama) for Hiroyuki Sanada, Best Actress (Drama) for Anna Sawai, and Best Supporting Actor in Any Series for Tadanobu Asano. The Comedy or Musical and Limited Series awards were a bit more spread out, as Max Original Series Hacks took home the awards for Best Series (Comedy or Musical), as well as Best Actress in a Comedy Series for Jean Smart. Over on the Limited Series side, Netflix’s Baby Reindeer racked up two wins for Limited Series and Supporting Actress in Any Series, which went to Jessica Gunning. The big surprise of the night for television was Richard Gadd’s loss to Colin Farrell in the Best Actor (Limited Series) category, the latter of the two winning for his work in HBO’s The Penguin. Jodie Foster and Jeremy Allen White also won their respective categories, Best Actress in a Limited Series and Best Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for their work in True Detective: Night Country and The Bear, respectively.
Picture
​Overall, it was a solid show this year. Emilia Pérez’s Best Picture win notwithstanding, almost all the winnings were richly deserved, and the shake-ups to the Oscar race make this one of the most unpredictable and interesting races we’ve had in quite some time. We’ll have to see which direction all the guild awards such as SAG-AFTRA, the DGA, the WGA, and the PGA go, but for the time being at least, the starting lineup is tremendously exciting.

Awards Season: Part One - Golden Globe Nominations Cap Off First Round of Oscar Hopefuls

12/9/2024

by Jacob Jones
​Awards season is in full swing as the Golden Globes unveiled their nominations this morning for the best in film and television, having followed a slew of critics group and other indie organizations’ nominating and win ceremonies, which began with the Gotham Awards earlier last week. The Gothams handed out a major surprise in Best Picture, handing the trophy to Aaron Schimberg’s dark self-image comedy A Different Man – which received no other awards that evening – while the National Board of Review selected Wicked as Best Film, also electing Jon M. Chu the Best Director prize despite the musical adaptation not appearing in the NBR’s official Top 10 for the year. Neither NBR nor the Gothams are typically expected to exert major influence over the Oscar nominations in January, but smaller films such as A Different Man and Sing Sing (which took home two Gotham Awards) can be offered a much-needed boost to keep them front of mind for industry voters. In all truth, the first major domino to fall in any awards season is usually the Golden Globes, whose imperfect but notable impact on many films’ awards season prospects warrants a bit more attention than organizations like the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, the Boston Society of Film Critics, or the New York Film Critics Circle, all of whom selected their honorees within the last week (The Critics Choice Awards is the most consequential of the critics groups overall.) Globe nominations don’t always translate to Oscar glory – category distinction by the Globes and the lack of available slots at the Oscars are just two major factors preventing some of the more fringe contenders from appearing on the AMPAS’ honorees list – but they can act as an important bellwether for what direction things are likely to be going.
​It was a very good morning for films like Anora, The Brutalist, Emilia Pérez, and Wicked, all of which are expected to be major players in the Oscar race going forward, the first two competing it seems neck-and-neck for the top prize of Best Picture, though Anora – Sean Baker’s excellent comedy about a Brooklyn sex worker who marries the son of a wealthy Russian oligarch, for which Baker was nominated for Best Director and Best Screenplay – does seem to currently have the edge. The day was also not without its surprises, both good and bad, as Paramount’s September 5 landed a twist nomination in the Best Picture (Drama) category over A24’s Sing Sing, while The Substance walked away with no less than five nominations, including Best Picture (Comedy or Musical), Best Director (Coralie Fargeat), Best Actress (Demi Moore), Best Supporting Actress (Margaret Qualley), and Best Screenplay in a much-needed supercharge to its awards momentum. Unfortunately, Dune: Part Two missed two key nominations in Best Director for Denis Villeneuve, as well as Best Screenplay, though the film did show up in Best Picture (Drama), and Best Score for Hans Zimmer, whose music was deemed officially ineligible for Oscar competition by the Academy yesterday. Sing Sing and Piano Lesson hopefuls Clarence Maclin and Danielle Deadwyler were also absent from their respective Supporting performance categories. The larger crop of nominations in both the film and television categories more or less followed the expected trends with limited exceptions, but we’ll have to see just how consequential those trends become in the months ahead. A full list of the 2025 Golden Globe nominees is below.

2024 Golden Globe Nominations - Full List

12/12/2023

The Friendly Film Fan discusses the nominations, the surprises, the snubs, and the Globes' new management.
The Golden Globes have revealed their nominees for the best in film and television, and it looks like many of the expected contenders showed up to play, while some unexpected faces managed to sneak into a few categories. That’s not to mention the presence of two entirely new categories following the awards show’s departure from its former owners, the HFPA – whose notorious inner workings often brought about controversy – and into the hands of Dick Clark Productions. Select categories were aired live on CBS Mornings while the whole of the nominations were revealed online. Celine Song’s directorial debut, Past Lives, made a stronger show than initially expected (while fellow A24 hopeful The Iron Claw was shut out entirely), and not one but two international hits were recognized in the Best Picture – Drama category, those being Anatomy of a Fall and The Zone of Interest. As expected, box office hits Barbie and Oppenheimer made strong showings, as did critical darling Killers of the Flower Moon, the first of these three leading nominations in the film categories with nine total. And for TIME Magazine’s Person of the Year, Taylor Swift, the concert documentary Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour managed to score a nomination in the new category of Cinematic and Box Office Achievement. The film is the highest-grossing concert film of all time, domestically.
 
The big story wherein snubs are concerned is the absence of The Color Purple, an upcoming adaptation of the hit Broadway musical, in the Best Picture – Musical or Comedy category. This category has historically been a mainstay for musicals of almost any kind, and given the film’s two other nominations in lead actress Fantasia Barrino and supporting powerhouse Danielle Brooks, as well as the Christmas Day release date and massive production scale, it seemed as though the Globes would be the ideal place for the film to land in order to secure enough good will to net a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars. While hope is not entirely lost, however, the certainty of the film’s chances in that category have been – at least – tempered by its absence here.
 
In the television categories, there were far less notable shake-ups, though the ultimate battles seem to be between The Crown and Succession in the Best Drama Series category, and between Abbott Elementary and The Bear in Best Musical or Comedy Series (Succession leads the television nominations with nine as well). It’s sure to be another long awards season on this journey to the Oscars in March, but before we get there, the Globes are one of the first stops to make, and it will be – at the very least – interesting to see how the show is navigated following its recent alteration in leadership.

​Hello, everyone, and welcome back to The Friendly Film Fan! It’s been quite a while since I’ve been able to write for this site, what with the holiday season keeping both of my other jobs immensely busy, but I promise, there is more content coming, so keep your eyes peeled! For now, we have a double-header of awards pieces!
 
Awards season is well underway, and with it comes a bevy of nominations, both from critics groups and industry voting bodies the world over. In the case of this piece, those nominations are from the HFPA (Hollywood Foreign Press Association), who came under heavy fire last year when it was revealed that the makers of Netflix’s Emily in Paris series had put the group of journalists up in a 5-star hotel in Paris as they made a set visit. The entertainment news buzz over this and the HFPA’s well-documented issues with diversity within its voting body and inconsistent rulings on categorization eligibility led to a swarm of controversy so fierce that NBC – the home of the Golden Globes for many years – announced that they would not be airing the 2022 ceremony live on television, as in years previous.
 
For a time, it also seemed that there would simply not be a 2022 Golden Globes at all, until one day this year it was announced that the HFPA would not only be going ahead with the Golden Globes after all, but would announce their nominations on the same day as the more respected Critics Choice Awards Film Nominations (the television half of the CCA has already been announced) and have their official ceremony on January 9, 2022 – also the same day that CCA had already scheduled their own show. It’s sure to be a contentious awards day for the two voting bodies, and what it all means for the Oscars – which take place on March 27, 2022 – will likely come down to the latter of those ceremonies. For now, however, let’s keep the focus on that first set of nominations. Here are the nominees for the 79th Annual Golden Globe Awards!
