Nominations for the 2025 Golden Globe Awards were announced on Dec. 9. Broadway was well-represented among the honors, which recognize achievement in television and film. Thirteen of the fourteen performance categories included Tony winners, nominees and other Broadway alumni.
The film adaptation of Broadway’s “Wicked,” which enjoyed a record-breaking opening-weekend at the box office, earned four nominations. The Jon M.

The film’s stars, Tony Award winner Cynthia Erivo and Broadway alum Ariana Grande, were nominated in the Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy and Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture categories, respectively.
Jeremy Strong, who took home the 2024 Leading Actor in a Play Tony for Amy Herzog’s adaptation of “An Enemy of the People,” was nominated in the Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture category for “The Apprentice.” Strong is nominated alongside Tony winner Denzel Washington for “Gladiator II” and Kieran Culkin for “A Real Pain.” Both Washington and Culkin will appear in 2025 Main Stem revivals: “Othello” and “Glengarry Glen Ross,” respectively.
Washington’s “Othello” co-star Jake Gyllenhaal was Golden Globe-nominated for his leading turn in the television series “Presumed Innocent.” Gyllenhaal is nominated in the Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Series — Drama category, which also includes Tony winner Eddie Redmayne, who was cited for “The Day of the Jackal.”
The Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture — Drama slate comprised four Broadway veterans, the most of any category.

The leading actor categories for musical or comedy television series both acknowledged several Broadway alums.

The sole acting category to not feature any Broadway veterans was the Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role on Television category.
