Golden Globes 2025 Nominations: Snubs, Surprises, and Highlights
The Golden Globes 2025 nominations are out, and they have definitely sparked some interesting conversations. Awards season is here, and with it comes the excitement of seeing who makes the cut and who gets left out. As we eagerly await the ceremony on January 6, let’s dive into some of the major snubs, surprises, and clear successes from this year’s Golden Globe nominations.
First, one of the biggest success stories is the unexpected recognition of The Substance , a dark and violent film about the exploitation of women in modern society. Despite being a horror movie, which doesn’t traditionally fare well in awards season, The Substance found itself with five nominations, including Best Comedy/Musical and acting nods for Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley. Director Coralie Fargeat also received a nomination for Best Director. In a category usually dominated by male directors, the inclusion of Fargeat and Payal Kapadia for All We Imagine as Light is a notable step forward. It’s clear that the Golden Globes are making space for unique voices, even in genres not typically celebrated.
However, not all the nominees were greeted with applause. Wicked , which many predicted would be a major contender, did well but fell short of expectations. The movie earned a Best Picture nomination in the Comedy/Musical category, but director Jon M. Chu was noticeably absent from the Best Director shortlist. The musical also missed out on a place in the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category, despite its massive popularity at the box office. It seems like Wicked didn’t quite have the magic to sweep the Golden Globes after all.

Another snub that has fans talking is Deadpool & Wolverine . Despite grossing over $1.3 billion worldwide, the highly anticipated film didn’t make it into the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category, a surprising omission considering the buzz surrounding the movie. It’s hard to deny that Deadpool & Wolverine was one of the most talked-about films of the year, but the Golden Globes didn’t seem to share that sentiment.
On the surprise side of things, Sebastian Stan has had an extraordinary year. Nominated for Best Actor in both the Drama and Comedy/Musical categories, Stan’s performances in A Different Man and The Apprentice were recognized, showcasing his impressive range. It’s not every day you see an actor nominated for two very different roles in one year, and Stan’s double nomination has certainly turned heads.
Television also had its fair share of surprises. The Bear , which has already made waves in the TV world, led the pack with five nominations, including Best Musical/Comedy and acting nods for Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri. On the other hand, the nominations also saw a surprising lack of recognition for big movie stars transitioning to TV. Robert Downey Jr. and Meryl Streep, who had notable performances in The Sympathizer and Only Murders in the Building , both missed out on nominations. This seems to show that while Hollywood’s biggest stars often shine in television, the Golden Globes voters have their own priorities.
As we move closer to the Golden Globes ceremony, one thing is clear: this year’s nominations reflect a broader range of voices, genres, and talent than ever before. From surprises like Sebastian Stan’s double nods to snubs like Deadpool & Wolverine , it’s shaping up to be an exciting awards season. Whether you agree or disagree with the choices, there’s no doubt that the Golden Globes 2025 nominations are sure to keep us talking all the way to January.
