Jacob Elordi Shines as Australia’s Double Nominee at the Golden Globes
So, there’s been a big moment for Australian talent on the global stage, and it’s all centred around Jacob Elordi. The Golden Globe nominations were announced, and Elordi didn’t just pop up once — he appeared twice, making him one of Australia’s brightest hopes heading into the January ceremony. His rise has been steady, but this moment really feels like a breakthrough that’s being celebrated everywhere.
One of his nominations comes from Guillermo del Toro’s striking retelling of Frankenstein , where Elordi steps into the eerie, emotionally layered role of the creature. It’s a performance that has been highlighted for its physicality and depth, and it has now earned him a nod for Best Supporting Actor in a Film. It’s pretty impressive, considering the film itself is one of Netflix’s key contenders this year. On top of that, Elordi was also recognised for his work in the Australian miniseries The Narrow Road to the Deep North , where he portrays Dorrigo Evans in a story heavy with wartime memory and human conflict. That nomination puts him in the race for Best Actor in a Limited Series or TV Movie — a reminder of just how versatile he has become in such a short time.

And he isn’t the only Aussie making headlines. Rose Byrne has also stepped onto the nominees list with her comedic and heartfelt turn in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You . That performance has already brought her the Silver Bear in Berlin earlier this year, so this Golden Globe nod feels like a natural next step. Meanwhile, Joel Edgerton scored a nomination for his dramatic work in Train Dreams , showing once again why he continues to be one of Australia’s most consistent international performers.
On the broader awards front, Paul Thomas Anderson’s film One Battle After Another leads the pack with nine nominations, and the competition across categories feels tighter than ever. Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value is also close behind with eight nominations, proving that international cinema is hitting hard this year. And in a sign of how much the Globes are evolving, a new category — Best Podcast — has been introduced for the first time.
Despite all the changes, controversies, and shifts within Hollywood, it’s clear that Australian performers are having a standout moment. And with Jacob Elordi walking into the ceremony as a double nominee, there’s a real sense that this could be a defining year for him — and one that fans back home will be watching very closely.
