‘Joke of an Award’: Users Slam Golden Globes Nominations List

The spotlight’s on as the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) unveils its 2025 Globes nominations, sparking buzz and debate over top films and stars.

“Golden Globes are a joke of an award,” one user wrote bluntly. Another added“Golden Globes are out of their minds.” Some remarked“There are clear favorites here. Some people always get nominated no matter how good/bad they are🧐.”

Some netizens voiced frustration over omissions and questioned the inclusivity of the nominations. One user criticized the lack of recognition for “Dune: Part 2” and “Challengers,” arguing these films made a significant impact.

Another found the nominations predictable. Some also commented on unfamiliarity with many of the nominated films, raising concerns about their visibility and accessibility.

Specific nominees, like “Emilia Perez,” starring Zoe Saldaña and Selena Gomez, drew criticism for perceived artistic shortcomings. One user cited repetitive songs, uninspired cinematography, and choreography, questioning whether it was truly awards-worthy.

Others expressed disappointment over snubs, including Hulu’s “English Teacher,” which they believed deserved recognition in the comedy categories.

Despite the criticism, some celebrated notable recognitions. “Absolutely love seeing Kate Winslet as a double nominee for The Regime and LEE [sic],” a fan commented, while another applauded“Glad to see that The Substance has a number of deserved nominations although its not a comedy (but it does have funny moments) [sic].”

Amid the buzz and mixed reactions, the 82nd Annual Golden Globes, hosted by Nikki Glaser, will take center stage on January 5, 2025, airing live on CBS and Paramount+.
