"This week, the race heats up with Golden Globes nominations - and the line-up is surprisingly genre-friendly. Ryan Coogler's Sinners, which takes elements from the historical drama, classic vampire horror, and music revues, garnered seven nominations. Frankenstein, the latest monster movie from Guillermo del Toro, came away with five. Even Weapons scored a nomination for Amy Madigan, whose chilling (and darkly funny) turn as Aunt Gladys instantly inducted her into the horror hall of fame."
"From the late 2010s into the 2020s, voters have grown warmer to monster movies and sci-fi fantasies. It helps that so many of the films in those categories demonstrate an undeniable level of craft: del Toro, who won the Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director for The Shape of Water in 2018, is just one of many filmmakers whose work has shifted the stigma against left-of-center storytelling."
Golden Globes nominations for 2025 include several genre films, signaling a shift toward genre-friendly voting. Ryan Coogler's Sinners received seven nominations by blending historical drama, vampire horror, and music revue elements. Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein earned five nominations, and Amy Madigan scored a nomination for her role in Even Weapons. One Battle After Another leads with nine nominations, but genre entries present strong competition. Genre films slowly gained awards footholds since the late 2010s; voters grew more receptive after successes like The Shape of Water and Everything Everywhere All At Once, which demonstrated craft and shifted stigma.
