It has been a big year in the film and TV industry, with epic action movies being released like the long-awaited Dune 2, right down to the Glicked movement with Wicked and Gladiator 2 smashing at The Box Office.

Despite these three epic films taking over social media this year, they aren’t the films to dominate nominations at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards. Jacques Audiard’s narco-thriller musical Emilia Perez starring Selena Gomez is leading the charge with 10 nominations.

Meanwhile, The Brutalist starring Adrien Brody and directed by Brady Corbet has come in second with seven nominations. 

However, this isn’t to say Wicked’s leading ladies Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are walking in empty handed after earning three nominations themselves. While Wicked has been nominated four times.
