Selena Gomez scored two major nominations at the Golden Globes 2025 for her roles in “Only Murders in the Building” and “Emilia Pérez” in a memorable night.
Selena Gomez kicked off awards season with a bang, picking up two Golden Globes 2025 nominations. The nominations, announced by Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut at a ceremony hosted at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, recognized her performances in both television and film.
Notable performances in two major projects
Selena Gomez was nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy/Musical Series for her role in “Only Murders in the Building.” The Hulu series, in which she stars alongside Steve Martin and Martin Short, returned with season four in August. This is Selena Gomez’s third Golden Globe nomination for the project, cementing her place among television’s most acclaimed stars. Her co-stars Martin and Short also received nominations in the best actor in a comedy/musical series category.
On the big screen, Gomez impressed in “Emilia Pérez”, a Spanish-language musical thriller directed by Jacques Audiard. The movie explores the story of a cartel leader who undergoes gender-affirming surgery. Gomez was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, sharing the category with fellow actress Zoe Saldaña, who stars alongside her in the film. “Emilia Pérez” was this year’s nominations leader with ten selections, including for directing, screenplay and music, according to Deadline.
Selene Gomez’s emotions shared with fans
Selena Gomez reacted emotional to the nominations news. In a video posted to Instagram Stories, Gomez captured the moment she heard her name in the Best Supporting Actress category.
“I don’t know what to say… I’m so proud of @zoesaldana and grateful @goldenglobes“.
Later, Gomez praised the performance of Karla Sofía Gascón, the protagonist of “Emilia Pérez”, and congratulated composers Clément Ducol and Camille, who were nominated for Best Score and Best Original Song.
“@karsiagascon mi amor I am so grateful to know you,” she wrote in another post, emphasizing her gratitude to the team behind the movie.
Selena Gomez and an exclusive club
Being nominated in two different categories at the Golden Globes in the same year is a rare, but not unprecedented, occurrence. Past actors recognized for multiple performances in the same season include Amy Adams and Regina King. In 2025, Selena Gomez and Sebastian Stan are the only actors nominated for multiple roles. Stan has received recognition for his performances in “A Different Man” and “The Apprentice,” proving, like Gomez, his versatility as an actor.
The 2025 Golden Globes highlight an extraordinary year for Selena Gomez, who continues to evolve her career on both the small and big screen. Her nominations reflect not only her acting talent, but also her ability to choose projects that bring powerful stories to the public. Her performances in “Only Murders in the Building” and “Emilia Pérez” confirm that Selena Gomez is one of the most versatile and influential figures in the entertainment industry.
