Nothing says, "awards season is nigh" like...well, Golden Globes nominations. This year, I feel like I'm going in almost totally blind, but I'm not sure that even matters. You know that, no matter what, the Globes *are* gonna finagle a way to get as many A-listers in a room as possible. Pull up a chair and dig in -- and please let us know your thoughts in the comments. PS: Congrats to Mindy Kaling for getting to announce these with Noted Hottie Morris Chestnut.

**BEST MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA**  
THE BRUTALIST (A24)  
A COMPLETE UNKNOWN (Searchlight Pictures)  
CONCLAVE (Focus Features)  
DUNE: PART TWO (Warner Bros. Pictures)  
NICKEL BOYS (Orion Pictures / Amazon MGM Studios)  
SEPTEMBER 5 (Paramount Pictures)

I was thinking that I am seriously out of it because I haven't even heard of some of these and then I realized that at least two of them are not even out yet.

**BEST MOTION PICTURE – MUSICAL OR COMEDY**  
ANORA (NEON)  
CHALLENGERS (Amazon MGM Studios)  
EMILIA PÉREZ (Netflix)  
A REAL PAIN (Searchlight Pictures)  
THE SUBSTANCE (MUBI)  
WICKED (Universal Pictures)

On the other hand, I *have* heard of all of these.

**BEST MOTION PICTURE – ANIMATED**  
FLOW (Sideshow / Janus Films)  
INSIDE OUT 2 (Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)  
MEMOIR OF A SNAIL (IFC Films)  
MOANA 2 (Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)  
WALLACE & GROMIT: VENGEANCE MOST FOWL (Netflix)  
THE WILD ROBOT (Universal Pictures)

**CINEMATIC AND BOX OFFICE ACHIEVEMENT**  
ALIEN: ROMULUS (Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)  
BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE (Warner Bros. Pictures)  
DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE (Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)  
GLADIATOR II (Paramount Pictures)  
INSIDE OUT 2 (Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)  
TWISTERS (Universal Pictures)  
WICKED (Universal Pictures)  
THE WILD ROBOT (Universal Pictures)

This is a new category -- 2024 was the first year -- and it's basically, "this is the best movie that actually also made a lot of money."

**BEST MOTION PICTURE – NON-ENGLISH LANGUAGE**  
ALL WE IMAGINE AS LIGHT (Sideshow / Janus Films) – USA / FRANCE / INDIA  
EMILIA PÉREZ (Netflix) – FRANCE  
THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE (MUBI) – POLAND / SWEDEN / DENMARK  
I’M STILL HERE (Sony Pictures Classics) – BRAZIL  
THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG (NEON) – USA / GERMANY  
VERMIGLIO (Sideshow / Janus Films) – ITALY

**BEST PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA**  
PAMELA ANDERSON (THE LAST SHOWGIRL)  
ANGELINA JOLIE (MARIA)  
NICOLE KIDMAN (BABYGIRL)  
TILDA SWINTON (THE ROOM NEXT DOOR)  
FERNANDA TORRES (I’M STILL HERE)  
KATE WINSLET (LEE)

This is a good selection of women for the red carpet. Winslet and Jolie will probably look boring, sartorially -- if beautiful, obviously -- but Swinton and Kidman are always reliably interesting.

**BEST PERFORMANCE BY A MALE ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA**  
ADRIEN BRODY (THE BRUTALIST)  
TIMOTHÉE CHALAMET (A COMPLETE UNKNOWN)  
DANIEL CRAIG (QUEER)  
COLMAN DOMINGO (SING SING)  
RALPH FIENNES (CONCLAVE)  
SEBASTIAN STAN (THE APPRENTICE)

This is actually ALSO sartorially promising. Two years of Colman Domingo awards show red carpet dominance? Thank you!!

**BEST PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE – MUSICAL OR COMEDY**  
AMY ADAMS (NIGHTBITCH)  
CYNTHIA ERIVO (WICKED)  
KARLA SOFÍA GASCÓN (EMILIA PÉREZ)  
MIKEY MADISON (ANORA)  
DEMI MOORE (THE SUBSTANCE)  
ZENDAYA (CHALLENGERS)

Again, this is promising for fashion -- and an exciting mix of old faves and newcomers.

**BEST PERFORMANCE BY A MALE ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE – MUSICAL OR COMEDY**  
JESSE EISENBERG (A REAL PAIN)  
HUGH GRANT (HERETIC)  
GABRIEL LABELLE (SATURDAY NIGHT)  
JESSE PLEMONS (KINDS OF KINDNESS)  
GLEN POWELL (HIT MAN)  
SEBASTIAN STAN (A DIFFERENT MAN)

Reminder: Jesse Plemons getting nominated means we also get to see Kirsten Dunst! A bonus!

**BEST PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN ANY MOTION PICTURE**  
SELENA GOMEZ (EMILIA PÉREZ)  
ARIANA GRANDE (WICKED)  
FELICITY JONES (THE BRUTALIST)  
MARGARET QUALLEY (THE SUBSTANCE)  
ISABELLA ROSSELLINI (CONCLAVE)  
ZOE SALDAÑA (EMILIA PÉREZ)

This is ALSO a stacked category in terms of what folks may choose to wear. Also, I feel like a proud parent for Selena.

**BEST PERFORMANCE BY A MALE ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN ANY MOTION PICTURE**  
YURA BORISOV (ANORA)  
KIERAN CULKIN (A REAL PAIN)  
EDWARD NORTON (A COMPLETE UNKNOWN)  
GUY PEARCE (THE BRUTALIST)  
JEREMY STRONG (THE APPRENTICE)  
DENZEL WASHINGTON (GLADIATOR II)

I do always look forward to whatever kooky 18th century waistcoat Jeremy Strong drags out.

SEAN BAKER (ANORA)  
EDWARD BERGER (CONCLAVE)

MAYA ERSKINE (MR. & MRS. SMITH)  
KEIRA KNIGHTLEY (BLACK DOVES)  
KERI RUSSELL (THE DIPLOMAT)

Never gonna complain about the return of Keira Knightley to the circuit, but surely Anna Sawai is once again the frontrunner.

SOFÍA VERGARA (GRISELDA)  
NAOMI WATTS (FEUD: CAPOTE VS. THE SWANS)

JACK LOWDEN (SLOW HORSES)  
DIEGO LUNA (LA MÁQUINA)  
EBON MOSS-BACHRACH (THE BEAR)

Just as Jesse Plemons brings a great plus one in Kiki Dunst, so I assume will we be getting Saoirse Ronan with her husband, Jack Lowden -- and perhaps Penelope Cruz with Javier Bardem? (And presumably Calista with Harrison Ford.)
