Golden Globe nominations 2025 Revealed as two Irish stars go ...

Irish representation at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards is relatively modest, reflecting stiff competition in a year dominated by musical thrillers and historical epics.

While 2023 saw significant Irish success, this year’s nominations have yielded a more subdued outcome for Irish talent.

Paul Mescal and Saoirse Ronan were notably absent from the nominee list. Mescal’s portrayal in Gladiator and Ronan’s performances in The Outrun and Blitz failed to secure nods, a disappointment for fans and critics who had high hopes for the pair.

On a brighter note, Andrew Scott (Ripley) and Colin Farrell (The Penguin) have both earned nominations in the competitive Best Actor in a Limited Series category, setting up an exciting face-off between the two Irish actors.

Among the films, Jacques Audiard’s Emilia Pérez leads with 10 nominations, while Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist follows with seven.

Other standout nominations include Wicked, with Cynthia Erivo nominated for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy and Ariana Grande for Best Supporting Actress.

In television, Sharon Horgan’s Bad Sisters missed out on major nods, but her work remains a standout. Other TV highlights include nominations for Ripley and The Penguin, as well as Dakota Fanning earning recognition for her role in Ripley.

The winners, selected by 334 entertainment journalists from 85 countries, will be announced at a live ceremony on January 5th in Los Angeles. The event will air on CBS and stream on Paramount+.

While the Golden Globes offer a broader array of categories compared to the Oscars, this year’s outcome has left Irish cinema and television enthusiasts yearning for more.

For now, the spotlight shines on Scott and Farrell as they carry Irish hopes into awards night.
