2025 Golden Globe Winners Predictions

The Globes are on Sunday at 7 pm central on CBS. Below are my predictions!

Best Motion Picture Drama:

The Brutalist

Nickel Boys

A Complete Unknown

Conclave

Dune: Part Two

September 5

Conclave seems to be a very well like movie. I suspect it wins here unless the Globes decide to go real prestige and award The Brutalist. I suspect The Brutalist is either winning 6 globes or nothing. Unfortunately I believe that latter.

Best Motion Picture Comedy or Musical:

Anora

A Real Pain

Challengers

Emilia Perez

The Substance

Wicked

The Globes are either going all the way with Wicked or Emilia Perez. I’m picking Wicked but don’t be surprised if Emilia Perez is the film that wins like four Globes.

Best Actor Drama:

Adrien Brody for The Brutalist

Colman Domingo for Sing Sing

Daniel Craig for Queer

Sebastian Stan for The Apprentice

Ralph Fiennes for Conclave

Timothee Chalamet for A Complete Unknown

This is a tough one. I could see multiple guys in this category winning. However, the Globes love their stars and Timothee is impressive as Bob Dylan.

Best Actor Comedy or Musical:

Gabriel LaBelle for Saturday Night

Glen Powell for Hit Man

Jesse Eisenberg for A Real Pain

Jesse Plemons for Kinds of Kindness

Hugh Grant for Heretic

Sebastian Stan for A Different Man

Another one I am not sure of. I think with as much campaigning as he has done I think Jesse will win this. But double nominee Sebastian could win here.

Best Actress Drama:

Angelina Jolie for Maria

Kate Winslet for Lee

Pamela Anderson for The Last Showgirl

Nicole Kidman for Babygirl

Fernanda Torres for I’m Still Here

Tilda Swinton for The Room Next Door

Again, the Globes love their stars. I’m picking Nicole to win here. Maybe Angelina could play spoiler?

Best Actress Comedy or Musical:

Amy Adams - Nightbitch

Cynthia Erivo – Wicked

Demi Moore – The Substance

Karla Sofia Gascon – Emilia Perez

Mikey Madison – Anora

Zendaya – Challengers

I think Mikey Madison is the front-runner in Best Actress and her run starts here. However, Cynthia could win with the love for Wicked. Alternatively, maybe Karla wins if they do the Emilia Perez train. Or Amy Adams wins because again, they love their stars.

Supporting Actor:

Yura Borisov for Anora

Denzel Washington for Gladiator II

Guy Pierce for The Brutalist

Edward Norton for A Complete Unknown

Kieran Culkin for A Real Pain

Jeremy Strong for The Apprentice

Kieran is the one performance of this award season that could sweep everywhere. I think it starts here.

Supporting Actress:

Ariana Grande for Wicked

Felicity Jones for The Brutalist

Isabella Rossellini for Conclave

Margaret Qualley for The Substance

Selena Gomez for Emilia Perez

Zoe Saldana for Emilia Perez

All aboard the Wicked train. Zoe could win here as well.

Best Director:

Brady Corbet for The Brutalist

Jacques Audiard for Emilia Perez

Edward Berger for Conclave

Coralie Fargeat for The Substance

Sean Baker for Anora

Payal Kapadia for All We Imagine As Light

I’m guessing the impressiveness of The Brutalist will get Brady the award. I could also see Jacques or Berger.

Best Screenplay:

Anora by Sean Baker

A Real Pain by Jesse Eisenberg

The Brutalist by Brady Corbet, Mona Fastvold

Conclave by Peter Straughan

The Substance by Coralie Fargeat

Jacques Audiard by Emilia Perez

Maybe wishful thinking but I think this is where Anora gets rewarded.

Best Score:

The Brutalist – Daniel Blumberg

Challengers – Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross

Conclave – Volker Bertelmann

Dune: Part Two – Hans Zimmer

Emilia Perez – Clement Ducol, Camille

The Wild Robot – Kris Bowers

Reznor and Ross’s score is some of their best work, maybe since The Social Network.

Best Song:

Emilia Perez – “Mi Camino”

Emilia Perez – “El Mal”

Challengers - “Compress/Repress”

Better Man – “Forbidden Road”

The Wild Robot – “Kiss the Sky”

The Last Showgirl – “Beautiful That Way”

Honestly, I have no clue. Emilia Perez has two songs here, which usually means one of them is winning, and one probably will. However, I can’t recall either of those songs (A problem with the film) So I’ll go with “Kiss the Sky”.

Best Animated Feature:

Flow

Inside Out

Memoir of a Snail

Moana 2

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl

The Wild Robot

I’m probably wishful thinking with Flow. The Wild Robot will most likely win.

Best Non-English Language Feature:

All We Imagine as Light

The Girl with the Needle

Emilia Perez

I’m Still Here

The Seed of the Sacred Fig

Vermiglio

SinceEmilia Perezwas nominated everywhere it’ll likely win here.
