How Are Golden Globes 2025 Nominations Decided?

Golden Globes 2025 nominations are selected by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), a group of international journalists covering the entertainment industry. The process includes:
- Submissions – This means that films, and sometimes television programming, must be entered into the competition or awards or their producers must make themselves available for promotional campaigns involving screenings.
- Voting Process – All the active HFPA members have to vote in two phases: first, to decide the few candidates for each category and then to choose the final winners.
- Concerning category eligibility – Projects are reviewed in terms of genre, length, and format to categorize each project fairly.
- Ballots and Tallying – It ensures that the votes are counted correctly to make a statement on the results.
