Golden Globe 2025: 'Emilia Pérez' Leads with 10 Nominations, Italy's 'Vermiglio' Competes

The nominations for the 2025 Golden Globe Awards were announced, with the ceremony set for the night of January 5-6 in Los Angeles. 'Emilia Pérez', directed by Jacques Audiard, leads with 10 nominations, including Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. The film, a musical about a transgender drug trafficker, premiered at Cannes in May 2024 and won the Jury Prize under Greta Gerwig's presidency. It also swept the European Film Awards. Italy's 'Vermiglio' by Maura Delpero is nominated for Best Foreign Language Film, competing against 'Emilia Pérez'. The film, a family drama set during World War II, is Italy's Oscar entry but faces budget constraints after the Ministry of Culture cut a €150,000 fund previously allocated by former minister Gennaro Sangiuliano. Other Italian nominees include Isabella Rossellini for Best Supporting Actress in 'Conclave', and Luca Guadagnino's 'Queer' (Best Actor for Daniel Craig) and 'Challengers' (four nominations including Best Musical or Comedy, Best Actress for Zendaya, Best Score, and Best Original Song). The full list of nominees spans 27 categories, including Best Motion Picture – Drama ('Conclave', 'The Brutalist', 'Dune: Part Two', 'September 5', 'A Complete Unknown', 'Nickel Boys'), Best Director, and acting categories.
