2025 Golden Globes Showcases Mixed Results

The 2025 Golden Globes were marked by unexpected outcomes, with several anticipated films, such as Anora and The Wild Robot, failing to win any awards despite multiple nominations. Sean Baker's Anora, a Palme d'Or winner, went home empty-handed after being nominated for five awards, while The Wild Robot, expected to win Best Animated Feature, also left without recognition. Conversely, films like Emilia Pérez and The Brutalist emerged as significant winners, with the latter taking home awards for best drama, director, and actor in a drama. Notably, Wicked, despite grossing over $650 million and securing four nominations, won only for best cinematic and box-office achievement. Host Nikki Glaser's performance was praised, and surprises included Fernanda Torres winning for her role in I'm Still Here, adding excitement to the awards race. Overall, the event highlighted the unpredictable nature of the awards season and the disconnect between box-office success and critical acclaim.
