Musical thriller Emilia Perez and historical epic The Brutalist have led the roster of films nominated for the 2025 Golden Globes, the Hollywood honours that kick off the movie awards season leading to the Oscars.

Emilia Perez, released by Netflix, scored 10 nods and The Brutalist, from independent distributor A24, earned seven.

Both movies will compete for the top Globes honour - best film drama - with papal selection story Conclave, Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, sci-fi epic Dune: Part Two, historical drama Nickel Boys and September 5, the story of sports journalists who covered a hostage crisis at the Olympics.

It faces dark romantic comedy Anora and others in the best movie musical or comedy category.

Pamela Anderson landed her first Golden Globe nomination.

In The Last Showgirl, Anderson plays an aging Las Vegas showgirl, a performance that has led to the best reviews of Anderson’s career.

She was nominated for best female actor, drama, alongside Nicole Kidman in Babygirl, Angelina Jolie in Maria, Tilda Swinton in The Room Next Door, Fernanda Torres in I’m Still Here and - in a surprise - Kate Winslet in Lee.

Taking home a Globe can help movies in the race to the Academy Awards in March.

The nominations for the 82nd Golden Globes were announced on Monday morning by Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut.

Last year’s Hollywood strikes scrambled this year’s release schedule, and awards pundits say there is no clear frontrunner for best picture at the Oscars.

The Globe winners will be chosen by 334 entertainment journalists from 85 countries and will be announced January 5 at a ceremony broadcast live on CBS and streamed on Paramount+.

Emilia Perez stars Zoe Saldana as a lawyer who helps a drug cartel leader - Spanish actor Karla Sofia Gascon - fake his death and transition from a man to a woman.

Selena Gomez co-stars as the cartel leader’s wife.

The Brutalist stars Adrien Brody in an epic tale of a Hungarian immigrant who flees the horrors of World War II to rebuild his life in the United States.
