Both Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are nominated Evilwhich also received the “Best Film – Musical or Comedy” award. Selena Gomez is nominated for two different acting awards – a supporting actress award for her role in Emilia Perez (which received 10 nominations this year) and a lead actress nomination for Just murders in the building.

Other big movies to watch out for include: A complete unknown (the Bob Dylan biopic starring Timothee Chamalet), The substance (with Demi Moore), conclave (starring Ralph Fiennes) and “The Brutalist” (starring Adrian Brody) – all received multiple nominations, including awards for acting and best picture.

Notably, the Golden Globes are often cited as the best predictor of Oscar winners – meaning that winners of Globes films that year are also known to become Oscar winners in the same awards season.
