Golden Globes 2025: A Night to Watch as Emilia Pérez and The Bear Dominate Nominations

The 2025 Golden Globes have set the tone for this awards season, with Netflix’s genre-defying musical Emilia Pérez leading the film categories with an astounding ten nominations.

A Landmark Year for Netflix and Inclusive Storytelling
