Whole Oscars Commentary (Updated Jan. 1, 2025): The Golden Globes are upon us, and so begins the televised awards ceremonies that will current an opportunity for frontrunners to emerge and darkish horses to stake their claims on a 12 months that’s as open as any in present memory. Will that create an setting the place voters unfold the wealth between quite a lot of titles?
Jacques Audiard’s Spanish-language film “Emilia Pérez” is primary the associated fee on the film aspect with a record-breaking 10 nominations, making it the most-nominated comedy/musical movie in Golden Globes historic previous — surpassing “Cabaret” (1972) and “Barbie” (2023).
Within the meantime, Brady Corbet’s sweeping epic “The Brutalist” has a great seven nominations throughout the drama nook, whereas shut on its heels is Edward Berger’s gripping non secular thriller “Conclave,” which boasts six mentions. Every films are set to battle it out throughout the coveted best picture (drama) race, the place it’s anyone’s guess which method the coin will land.
A pleasing reminder: A Golden Globes win doesn’t basically protected Oscar glory. Historic previous has a great deal of cautionary tales. Merely ask the teams behind “1917” (2019), “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” (2017), “The Revenant” (2015), “The Social Group” (2010), and “Babel” (2006). All of them snagged Globes for best picture (drama) solely to lose the Oscar to “Parasite,” “The Type of Water,” “Spotlight,” “The King’s Speech,” and “The Departed,” respectively.
On the TV aspect, FX’s fan-favorite “The Bear” has cooked up a robust 5 nominations, making it the most-nominated current this 12 months. Nevertheless don’t rely Netflix out of the game, which leads for all networks and studios. The streaming large is positioned to dominate all through quite a lot of lessons in every film and TV. Previous the potential victories for “Emilia Pérez,” Netflix’s arsenal accommodates the Emmy-winning restricted sequence “Youngster Reindeer,” the hilariously irreverent comedy “No particular person Needs This” and a lineup of performing contenders like Andrew Scott (“Ripley”) and Javier Bardem (“Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story”). If projections preserve, Netflix may stroll away with a jaw-dropping haul of over half a dozen wins.
The overlap of two Emmy calendars makes Globe wins a bit powerful as a barometer for awards momentum. Nonetheless, let’s not downplay the impression of a victory. A Globe trophy is normally a turbo improve for any advertising and marketing marketing campaign (or occupation). Who wouldn’t want that shiny gold orb on their mantel?
The countdown is on with voters’ ballots due on Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2025. Beneath, we’ve laid out our remaining Golden Globes predictions, full with some light commentary and concepts on a few lessons.
Choice father or mom agency PMC owns Golden Globes producer Dick Clark Prods. in a 3 means partnership with Eldridge.
Music biopics have historically carried out correctly on this class (e.g., “Bohemian Rhapsody”), making it unwise to low value “A Full Unknown,” director James Mangold’s portrayal of parents legend Bob Dylan. Within the meantime, the lighter nomination counts for “Dune: Half Two,” “Nickel Boys” and “September 5” diminish their prospects of pulling off an upset. The precise contest appears between “The Brutalist” and “Conclave.” Every are sturdy with members, with Berger’s film benefiting from its familiarity and ease amongst voters, whereas Corbet’s historic epic may purchase traction by its broad worldwide enchantment.
Motion Picture (Comedy or Musical)

The Globes have outdone themselves this 12 months, presenting a aggressive lineup.
Whereas “Challengers” and “A Precise Ache” have their share of admirers, they don’t seem to have the momentum wished to clinch prime honors. “Wicked,” within the meantime, appears poised to look at throughout the footsteps of ultimate 12 months’s “Barbie,” garnering recognition primarily throughout the cinematic subject office class (Side bear in mind: it’s maybe time to clarify what this class actually represents).
Critics have showered reward on “The Substance,” nonetheless any primary accolades for Coralie Fargeat’s visceral body-horror film are extra seemingly to focus on Demi Moore’s standout effectivity — or perhaps the screenplay.
That leaves the precept showdown between “Anora” and “Emilia Pérez.” Deciding which of the two will come out on prime has been a back-and-forth debate. Sean Baker’s dramedy, “Anora,” boasts a Palme d’Or win, having already triumphed over Jacques Audiard’s crime musical at Cannes. However, the panorama has shifted since then. Netflix’s aggressive advertising and marketing marketing campaign for France’s worldwide submission, “Emilia,” has paid dividends, culminating in a record-breaking haul of nominations on the Globes.
Lastly, it seems like “Emilia Pérez” will merely edge out its competitor in what ensures to be a nail-biting evening.
Actor (Drama)
Image Credit score rating: Searchlight Footage
It’s fascinating to see how positive Globe performing lessons may pave one of the best ways for contenders’ Oscar success. Two intriguing names to take a look at are Daniel Craig and Sebastian Stan, and possibly not relating to worthwhile potential. Every have garnered consideration for his or her performances, nonetheless neither seems poised to say an outright victory.
Stan finds himself in a singular place with twin nominations. His dramatic operate in “The Apprentice” has admirers, however it certainly’s his lead comedy actor nomination for “A Completely totally different Man” which may surprisingly bolster his Oscar prospects for his work as Donald Trump throughout the totally different film. Whereas these initiatives are unrelated, a win throughout the comedy class would ship a robust signal to enterprise insiders and voters, spotlighting Stan’s versatility.
Craig faces a novel set of challenges. His operate in “Queer” has been met with love (and an NBR win), nonetheless his Oscar advertising and marketing marketing campaign hinges on the results of the comedy actor race. For Craig to solidify his place in the perfect actor Oscar dialog, it could possibly be ideally suited to any individual aside from Jesse Eisenberg (“A Precise Ache”), Hugh Grant (“Hereditary”), or Stan to win. All three of these actors may purchase the momentum and experience to edge Craig out of the Oscar spotlight.
After which there’s Adrien Brody and Timothée Chalamet — two perennial awards-season darlings — who’ve not at all gained Globes beflre. Whereas Chalamet’s effectivity continues to extend its fanbase, its Brody that will pull out a victory.
Actor (Comedy or Musical)

That’s among the many many hardest lessons to call. Other than Gabriel LaBelle (whose fantastic in “Saturday Night”), any of the remaining 5 may declare victory. I’m going with a no guts, no glory select for Hugh Grant for “Heretic” to spruce up the race.
Actress (Drama)
Image Credit score rating: Sony Footage Classics
Among the many many nominees, Fernanda Torres (“I’m Nonetheless Proper right here”) stands out because the one actress whose film moreover earned one different nomination, landing a spot throughout the Non-English Language class (apart from Pamela Anderson whose film landed distinctive monitor). Does the dual recognition make her the frontrunner for this prize? Whereas voters level out a robust pocket of assist for Torres, Nicole Kidman (“Babygirl”) and Angelina Jolie (“Maria”) are firmly throughout the dialog.
Actress (Comedy or Musical)

There are a few strategies this class is perhaps cemented on Sunday evening time.
Coralie Fargeat’s daring and visceral “The Substance” made a critical splash with 5 Globe noms, along with actress (Demi Moore. I really feel if she wins, the Oscar race for best actress is over and he or she runs to the Dolby.
I think about victory moments for Mikey Madison or Karla Sofía Gascón would start chain reactions on the awards season similar to best actor 2002. Whereas a Cynthia Erivo named envelope will be an necessary first step in making “Wicked” doubters believers in her, and the film’s Oscar prospects.
I’m going with the “protected” number of Madison in “Anora.”
Kieran Culkin leads throughout the precursor awards for “A Precise Ache” and normal data would have you ever ever study his establish off in your Oscar pool. I am not a wise man it seems.
Similar to when Willem Dafoe and Laurie Metcalf led the critics awards for “The Florida Enterprise” and “Lady Rooster,” the televised ceremonies went with the choices of Sam Rockwell and Allison Janney.
I’m starting to think about that Edward Norton from “A Full Unknown” is about to start his victory lap. And why not? A veteran actor who will be on his fourth Oscar nom, and hasn’t gained however. Why would his fellow actors transfer him over?
Or this concept is confirmed fallacious and Man Pearce’s triumphant music begins.
The first giant showdown between Ariana Grande’s Elphaba from “Wicked” and Zoe Saldaña’s lawyer from “Emilia Pérez.”
At current tied in critics wins, we’ll see if the love for the two stars is precise amongst voters, or if they will identify an audible for any individual like Margaret Qualley (mimicking an Aaron Taylor-Johnson win for “Nocturnal Animals”) or current a occupation win for Isabella Rossellini for “Conclave.”
