Golden Globes 2025 Nominations: Netflix Scores Nods For 'Emilia Pérez' And 'Squid Game'; Comcast Lands 4 'Wicked' Noms

Netflix Inc NFLX scored numerous 2025 Golden Globe nominations for its films and TV shows, underscoring the continued growth of streaming.

“Emilia Pérez,” the drug cartel musical acquired by the streamer out of the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, received 10 nominations Monday.

Netflix's nomination for "Squid Game" in the Best Television Series – Drama category comes ahead of the highly anticipated second season set to premiere on the streaming platform on Dec. 26.

Netflix also received nods for "The Diplomat," "The Gentlemen," "Nobody Wants This," "Baby Reindeer," Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story," "Ripley" and "Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl."

Altogether, the Los Gatos, California-based company leads with 36 nominations — 13 in film categories and 23 in television.

"The Bear," which streams on Walt Disney Company‘s DIS Hulu service, led the way for television with five nominations.

The current box office smash, "Wicked", received four nominations. The film, produced by Comcast Corp.’s CMCSA Universal Pictures, is nominated for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role (Ariana Grande) and Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture (Cynthia Erivo).

"Gladiator II" — released on the same day as “Wicked” — received nominations for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement and Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role (Denzel Washington).

Last year, "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" were released on the same day and both were favorites on the awards circuit. "Barbie" received 10 Golden Globe nominations and went home with two trophies. "Oppenheimer" had nine Golden Globe nominations and received five wins including Best Motion Picture – Drama.

One of last year's bigger battles was in the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement. Recall how "Barbie" competed with Taylor Swift‘s “Eras Tour” concert film. This year, both "Wicked" and "Gladiator II' will compete for the award.

Grande is up against fellow pop star Selena Gomez in the Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role for “Emilia Pérez.”
