December 9th 2024.
Wicked's success has been recognized in the form of multiple Golden Globe nominations, with stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande receiving nods for their performances. The nominations for the 2025 Golden Globes were announced by Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut, with some expected nominees and surprising snubs.
Leading the pack with a whopping 10 nominations is Emilia Perez, a film starring Karla Sofía Gascón, Zoe Saldaña, and Selena Gomez. Gomez also received a nomination for her role in the TV series Only Murders in the Building, alongside her co-stars Martin Short and Steve Martin. Another Wicked star, Ariana Grande, received her first Golden Globe nomination for her role as Glinda. Her co-star Cynthia Erivo also received a nomination for her performance in the musical or comedy category.
However, not all members of the Wicked team were recognized, as director Jon M Chu and Dune: Part Two director Denis Villeneuve were left out of the best director category. Instead, the nominees include Jacques Audiard, Sean Baker, Edward Berger, Brady Corbet, Coralie Fargeat, and Payal Kapadia.
This came as a surprise to many, as Wicked has already grossed over $450 million at the box office and Dune: Part Two has surpassed $700 million worldwide. While Dune: Part Two did receive nominations for best original score and best motion picture, the director and actors Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya were not recognized for their roles.
Fans took to social media to express their disappointment in the snubs, with some calling it "criminal" and "insane" that Jon M Chu and Denis Villeneuve were not nominated. Others also pointed out the lack of recognition for Marianne Jean-Baptiste, who won big at other award ceremonies for her role in Hard Truths.
On the TV side, The Bear received five nominations, including best comedy series and acting mentions for Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Liza Colón-Zayas. Steve Martin and Martin Short were also recognized for their performances in Only Murders in the Building, along with Selena Gomez. Meanwhile, fans called out the lack of recognition for Marianne Jean-Baptiste in the TV categories.
The full list of nominees includes a mix of expected and surprising choices, with films like Dune: Part Two and Emilia Perez receiving multiple nominations. The awards ceremony will take place on January 5, where the winners will be announced.

The leading film, Emilia Perez, received a remarkable 10 nominations, with stars Karla Sofía Gascón, Zoe Saldaña, and Selena Gomez all earning acting nods. Gomez also made the cut for her role in the hit TV series, Only Murders in the Building.
One of the most exciting moments was when Ariana Grande received her very first Golden Globe nomination for her performance as Glinda in Wicked. She was also predicted to win the award for best performance by a female actor in a supporting role. Her co-star, Cynthia Erivo, was recognized in the category for best performance by a female actor in a musical or comedy, and will be competing against Karla, Amy Adams, Mikey Madison, Demi Moore, and Zendaya.

On Twitter, user Tercia da Silva wrote, "Jon Chu not being nominated has officially ruined my day #GoldenGlobes." Another user, Elizabeth M, added, "Wait-did the #GoldenGlobes completely neglect to nominate Jon M. Chu???? Seriously????" Instagram user ChikenButt4894 even called Denis' absence from the nominations the "worst snub" they've ever seen. Over on Reddit, fans discussed the possibility of Dune receiving the "LOTR Trilogy treatment" and winning most of its awards for the third film, as well as the lack of recognition for Marianne Jean-Baptiste in Hard Truths.
Moving on to the TV side of the nominations, The Bear received five nods, including best comedy series and acting nominations for Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Liza Colón-Zayas.
