Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX) scored numerous 2025 Golden Globe nominations for its films and TV shows, underscoring the continued growth of streaming.
“Emilia Pérez,” the drug cartel musical acquired by the streamer out of the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, received 10 nominations Monday.
Netflix's nomination for "Squid Game" in the Best Television Series – Drama category comes ahead of the highly anticipated second season set to premiere on the streaming platform on Dec. 26.
Netflix also received nods for "The Diplomat," "The Gentlemen," "Nobody Wants This," "Baby Reindeer," Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story," "Ripley" and "Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl."
Altogether, the Los Gatos, California-based company leads with 36 nominations — 13 in film categories and 23 in television.
"The Bear," which streams on Walt Disney Company‘s (NYSE:DIS) Hulu service, led the way for television with five nominations.
The current box office smash, "Wicked", received four nominations. The film, produced by Comcast Corp.’s (NASDAQ:CMCSA) Universal Pictures, is nominated for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role (Ariana Grande) and Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture (Cynthia Erivo).
"Gladiator II" — released on the same day as “Wicked” — received nominations for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement and Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role (Denzel Washington).
