Unlike the wild-and-crazy Globes of the past, the 2025 Golden Globe Awards nominations seem more like those of a formal European festival. The nominations, honoring the best in movies and TV for the year, were announced on Monday morning by Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut.

Award season kicked off with an A-list event in New York this week—the Gotham Independent Film Awards held downtown at Cipriani Wall Street.
