Among the highly anticipated nominees were prominent names such as Zendaya for her role in Challengers, Timothée Chalamet in A Full Unknown, and Selena Gomez for her standout performance in Emilia Pérez. The acclaimed powerhouse duo of Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo also garnered attention for their collaboration in Depraved, resulting in nominations that reflect their remarkable contributions to the film industry.

One of the most unexpected nominations came for Pamela Anderson, who received a Best Actress nod for her performance in The Last Showgirl. Competing against seasoned actresses like Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Tilda Swinton, and Kate Winslet, Anderson’s nomination marks a significant milestone in her career, highlighting her versatility and talent as a performer.

Despite concerns that the controversial theme surrounding The Apprentice might negatively impact its reception, both Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong received nominations for their performances. However, the film was notably absent from the Best Picture category, raising questions about the industry’s reception of politically charged narratives.

Leading the film category with an impressive ten nominations, Emilia Pérez has set the stage for a competitive awards season. The film’s cast, including stars like Karla Sofía Gascón, Selena Gomez, and Zoe Saldaña, along with director Jacques Audiard, have all received recognition for their outstanding contributions to this remarkable cinematic project.

The Brutalist followed closely behind with seven nominations, which included prestigious recognitions for Best Picture, director Brady Corbet, and lead actor Adrien Brody. Additionally, supporting actors Felicity Jones and Guy Pearce earned nominations, showcasing the film’s strong ensemble cast.

Following The Brutalist, Conclave garnered six nominations, while Anora received five nominations, and Challengers picked up four. The Bob Dylan biopic A Full Unknown also secured four nominations, recognizing the remarkable performances of Timothée Chalamet and Edward Norton in leading and supporting roles, respectively.

Both Kate Winslet and Selena Gomez achieved the remarkable feat of being double nominees this year. Winslet received recognition for her performance in The Regime, while Gomez added another Best Actress nomination alongside nominations for notable stars Steve Martin and Martin Short for their roles in Solely Murders within the Constructing, further solidifying their status as leading talents in the industry.

The critically acclaimed series The Bear continued to make waves with five nominations, which included nods for four of its talented stars: Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, Liza Colón-Zayas, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. In addition, the highly anticipated series Shōgun also received four nominations, with several other shows like Child Reindeer, Hacks, and Slow Horses each earning three nominations, reflecting the breadth of talent in this year’s lineup.

The newcomer series No one Needs This gained recognition with a nomination for Best Series, showcasing its promising cast, including stars Kristen Bell and Adam Brody. Meanwhile, Ted Danson made a surprise entry into the Best Actor category for his performance in the new comedy series A Man on the Inside, illustrating the dynamic shifts in this year’s nominations.

Despite the excitement surrounding the nominations, several notable films faced snubs. For instance, Dune: Part 2 director Denis Villeneuve was overlooked, alongside Clarence Maclin for his performance in Sing Sing. Additionally, prominent names like Saoirse Ronan for The Outrun, Marianne Jean-Baptiste for Hard Truths, and Danielle Deadwyler for The Piano Lesson were notably absent from the nominations list. On the television front, the absence of recognition for the series Fallout, particularly for star Walton Goggins, and the cast of Squid Game, nominated for its second season, stirred discussions among fans and critics alike.

In an exciting development, breakout comedian Nikki Glaser has been announced as the host for the upcoming awards ceremony, which is scheduled to air on Sunday, January 5 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+. Her energetic presence promises to bring a fresh and entertaining perspective to the event.

As Glaser expressed in her statement regarding the hosting role, “The Golden Globes isn’t solely an enormous night for TV and film, but additionally for comedy. It is one of the few events where the entertainment industry not only allows but encourages itself to be lovingly mocked (at least I hope so). (God, I hope so).”
