The Golden Globes 2025 nominations have been revealed, and I am unable to imagine Netflix’s Emilia Perez is that this yr’s most nominated film or TV present

Now that we’re approaching the ultimate weeks of 2024, you possibly can just about scent awards season from a mile away. After the disclosing of the 2025 Golden Globes nominations, I am curious to see which new motion pictures and exhibits from the greatest streaming providers will sweep the largest awards. With titles from Netflix, Hulu, and Mubi main the pack, this yr’s bunch of potential winners displays what an immense yr it has been for leisure.

Certainly, through the Golden Globes 2025 nominations livestream hosted by Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut, a slew of flicks and exhibits together with The Substance, Sluggish Horses, and Squid Recreation had been among the many extremely numerous choice of titles to be honored at subsequent yr’s ceremony, which takes place on January 6.

However, I’ve one factor to get off my chest, and it is not a great factor. Netflix’s musical drama Emilia Perez 10 nominations means it swept this yr’s choice by a good-looking margin – and, since I gave it a not-so-pleasant evaluate in my Letterboxd diary, to say I’m shocked that it earned so many nominations is an understatement

From my 2.5 star scathing evaluate, to me, it’s apparent that Emilia Perez isn’t the film of the yr. That is mirrored within the hefty combined bag of opinions that considered one of November’s new Netflix motion pictures obtained, too, however the Golden Globe Basis seems to have beloved it. On paper, a musical crime drama a couple of cartel boss’ gender transition sounds not solely extremely thrilling, however may make a fascinating and provoking narrative. Nonetheless, the unhinged musical numbers diminished the sincerity of the story and left me laughing at its characters somewhat than regarding their particular person and collective plights.
