As the excitement builds for the 2025 Golden Globe Awards, the anticipation surrounding this year’s nominations is palpable.
Scheduled for December 9, the nominations will be announced by Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut, promising a dazzling showcase of talent from both film and television. With a diverse array of contenders that include highly anticipated films like Wicked, Anora, and Conclave, this year’s awards are set to dazzle audiences and restore some of the luster the Golden Globes have lost in recent times.
The nominations will be announced live at 8:15 AM EST, and a full list will be made available on the CBS News website, as well as on the official website of the Golden Globes. The actual ceremony will take place on January 4, 2025, and will be hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, who is looking to bring new energy to the event after last year’s mixed reviews.
Of the films competing for acknowledgment, Wicked is a mainstream contender with highly publicized performances from Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. Meanwhile, The Apprentice-a film about a young Donald Trump, starring Sebastian Stan-raises eyebrows at the possibility of nominations after its underwhelming reception.
Competition is especially rife this year, with films such as The Brutalist-a post-World War II-set drama about a Hungarian architect-and Dune: Part Two, which many predict will put on a strong performance. These nominations are not only a celebration of excellence in cinema but also a reflection of Hollywood’s changing landscape as it tries to redeem itself from controversies of the past.
As the nominees are just about to be announced, it’s high time when both fans and the media are desperate to find out what stars will shine brightest from this prestigious stage. The Golden Globes hold a guarantee of being an exciting kickoff to the awards season, setting the tone for what lies ahead.
