“Emilia Pérez” received 10 Golden Globes nominations Dec. 9, more than any film this year, as several other LGBTQ+ films, filmmakers and performers were also nominated by the Golden Globe Foundation.
“Emilia Pérez,” Netflix’s musical drama about a Mexican drug lord who undergoes gender affirming surgery to become a woman, picked up nominations for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Motion Picture – Non-English Language, Best Director and Best Screenplay — both for Jacques Audiard, as well as three acting nominations: Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldaña for Best Supporting Actress and Karla Sofía Gascón for Best Actress. Gascón is the first out transgender actress to be nominated in a film category at the Globes.
The final three nominations were for the music from “Emilia Pérez,” receiving a nomination for Best Original Score and two nominations for Best Original Song: “Mi Camino” and “El Mal,” the latter of which earned Audiard a third nomination as one of the song’s writers.
Openly gay filmmaker Luca Guadagnino saw both of his 2024 films — “Challengers” and “Queer” — get recognized. “Challengers” picked up nominations in Best Picture – Musical or Comedy and Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for Zendaya. “Queer” lead Daniel Craig received a nomination for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy.
Guadagnino wasn’t the only openly gay filmmaker to see his movie get recognition. Pedro Almodóvar’s “The Room Next Door” picked up a nomination for Tilda Swinton in the Best Actress in a Drama category.
Openly gay actor Colman Domingo received a Best Actor in a Drama nomination for his role in “Sing Sing” and queer actress Cynthia Erivo was recognized for her work in the hit musical “Wicked” in the Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy category.
The 82nd Golden Globe Awards, hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, will air live on CBS and Paramount+ on Jan. 5, starting at 8 p.m.
