Emilia Perez Shines as Golden Globe Nominations Reveal Surprising Snubs and Strong Contenders
The 82nd Golden Globe nominations were unveiled early Monday morning by the dynamic duo of Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut, highlighting the most exceptional achievements in film and television for the year. This event marks a significant celebration of artistic talent, showcasing the creativity and innovation that have captivated audiences worldwide. As we delve into the nominees, it’s clear that this year’s competition is fierce, with many beloved shows and films vying for prestigious honors.
This year, several names emerged as frontrunners in the awards race, including Zendaya for her role in Challengers, Timothée Chalamet with his captivating performance in A Full Unknown, and Selena Gomez for her standout role in Emilia Pérez. Additionally, the powerhouse talents of Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo in Depraved have also garnered significant attention, with all of them successfully landing nominations that reflect their remarkable contributions to cinema.
In a surprising turn of events, Pamela Anderson received a much-deserved nomination for Best Actress for her role in The Last Showgirl. This nomination stands out in a year filled with established names like Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Tilda Swinton, and Kate Winslet, all of whom have been mainstays at award shows. Anderson’s nomination marks a significant recognition of her talent and versatility, especially as she competes against first-time Globe nominee Fernanda Torres.

Despite concerns regarding its controversial subject matter related to Trump, actors Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong have still received nominations for their performances in The Apprentice. However, the film notably did not secure a nomination in the Best Picture category, raising questions about the overall impact of its themes on the awards landscape.
On the film side, Emilia Pérez leads the nominations with an impressive total of ten, showcasing a well-rounded cast that includes not only Karla Sofía Gascón and Selena Gomez, but also the talented Zoe Saldaña, along with acclaimed director Jacques Audiard. This remarkable achievement highlights the film’s strong narrative and character development, making it a formidable contender in multiple categories.
The Brutalist followed closely with a total of seven nominations, including nods for Best Picture, Best Director for Brady Corbet, and performances by leading actor Adrien Brody alongside supporting actors Felicity Jones and Guy Pearce. This widespread recognition underscores the film’s impactful storytelling and strong performances that resonate with both critics and audiences alike.
Following The Brutalist, Conclave garnered six nominations, while Anora received five, and Challengers picked up four nominations. Additionally, the highly anticipated Bob Dylan biopic, A Full Unknown, also achieved four nominations, showcasing the outstanding performances from both Timothée Chalamet and Edward Norton in lead and supporting roles.
Both Kate Winslet and Selena Gomez made waves by being double nominees for their impressive works across both film and television categories. Winslet received praise for her performance in The Regime, while Gomez earned another Best Actress nomination, adding to her accolades for her role alongside Steve Martin and Martin Short in Solely Murders within the Constructing, illustrating their versatility and talent in various genres.

In the television category, The Bear continued to assert its dominance with five nominations, recognizing four of its talented stars: Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, Liza Colón-Zayas, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. Meanwhile, the new series Shōgun also made a significant impact with four nominations, while several shows including Child Reindeer, Hacks, and Slow Horses scored three nominations each, illustrating the breadth of talent showcased this year.
Newcomer No One Needs This achieved a nomination for Best Series, with its stars Kristen Bell and Adam Brody recognized for their outstanding performances. Additionally, Ted Danson secured a spot in the Best Actor category for his role in the new comedy series A Man on the Inside, further demonstrating the diverse range of talent within the nominations this year.
However, the nominations were not without controversy, as several notable films were snubbed. Director Denis Villeneuve’s work on Dune: Part 2, Clarence Maclin’s performance in Sing Sing, and Saoirse Ronan’s portrayal in The Outrun were glaring omissions, alongside Marianne Jean-Baptiste for Hard Truths and Danielle Deadwyler for The Piano Lesson. In the television realm, the lack of recognition for Fallout, particularly for star Walton Goggins’ performance, has raised eyebrows, as well as the absence of nominations for the cast of Squid Game, which is gearing up for its second season later this month.
Breakout comedian Nikki Glaser is set to host the Golden Globe Awards, scheduled for Sunday, January 5 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+. This marks an exciting opportunity for Glaser to showcase her humor and charm while guiding the audience through the evening’s celebrations.
“The Golden Globes represent not just a big night for film and television but also for comedy,” Glaser expressed in a statement regarding her hosting role. “It’s one of the few events in the entertainment industry that allows, and even encourages, a light-hearted mockery of itself. (At least, I hope so).”
