Golden Globes 2025: No Wins For Australians Despite Multiple Nominations

Five Australian nominees, including celebrated figures like Guy Pearce, Nicole Kidman, and Adam Elliot, were in the running at this year's Golden Globe Awards, but none were able to secure a win.

On the film front, Pearce lost the Best Supporting Male Actor award to Kieran Culkin, though the former's film "The Brutalist" was one of the night's big winners, including taking home Best Picture - Drama, ABC reported.

Meanwhile, "Babygirl" star Nicole Kidman lost the Best Female Actor - Drama category to Brazilian actress Fernanda Torres.

Director-writer Adam Elliot also missed out on Best Animated Film for his dark claymation "Memoir of a Snail," with the award going to Latvian indie "Flow" instead.

Television upsets and losses

As for television, both Cate Blanchett and Naomi Watts were beaten by Jodie Foster in the Best Female Actor in a Limited/Anthology TV Series category, with the latter winning for her role in "Disclaimer and Feud: Capote vs the Swans."

Disappointments and surprises

The four-award sweep by "Emilia Pérez" was not a major surprise, given its 10 nominations, but it meant several front-runners left empty-handed.

"Wicked," which had four nominations, only won one - Best Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, even as many had expected Ariana Grande to win Best Supporting Actress.

Similarly, "Anora," which was nominated for five categories, walked away without a single win, including the highly anticipated Best Actor category for Mikey Madison.

Another surprise was Timothée Chalamet's loss to Adrien Brody in the Best Actor category for "A Complete Unknown," a biopic about Bob Dylan.

The night also saw a notable snub for Kidman, a Globes favorite, who lost out on Best Female Actor - Drama for "Babygirl." Many believe it's one of her strongest performances in years, and the absence of a win raised questions among fans.

Ted Danson's Lifetime Achievement

Ted Danson was honored with the Carol Burnett Award, which recognized outstanding contributions to television. With a career spanning over 40 years, Danson was beloved for iconic roles in "Cheers" and "The Good Place," and he was also nominated for his work on Netflix's "Man on the Inside."
