FX/Hulu's hit series "The Bear" has emerged as the top television contender for the 2025 Golden Globe Awards, securing five nominations across major categories. The culinary drama earned recognition for Best Musical or Comedy Series, along with acting nods for stars Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, Liza Colón-Zayas, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
Following closely behind are FX's "Shōgun" and Hulu's "Only Murders in the Building," each garnering four nominations. The awards race welcomes several freshman series this year, with HBO's crime drama "The Penguin," Disney+'s "Agatha All Along," CBS' "Matlock," and Netflix's "Nobody Wants This" all receiving their first Golden Globe nominations.
The television landscape shows strong representation from streaming platforms, with Netflix leading the pack with 23 nominations, positioning itself well ahead of HBO/Max, its nearest competitor.
The ceremony will mark a special milestone for some nominees, including Steve Martin, who received his ninth overall Golden Globe nomination for "Only Murders in the Building." This represents his fourth consecutive year being nominated in the Best Television Actor in a Musical or Comedy Series category, though he has yet to win.
The awards show will feature 26 first-time nominees, including host Nikki Glaser, who will lead the 82nd annual ceremony. The Golden Globes will broadcast live on CBS on Sunday, January 5, at 8 PM, with streaming options available on Paramount+.
This year's nominations reflect the evolving television landscape, showcasing a mix of established series and promising newcomers across traditional networks and streaming platforms, setting the stage for an exciting awards season.
