‘Awards Magnet’: First 2025 Golden Globe winner predictions and an interview with NYFCC’s Jordan Hoffman

Will “Emilia Pérez” dominate the Golden Globes? Gold Derby editors and experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng make their first 2025 Golden Globe winners predictions in this episode of “Awards Magnet.” Plus: An interview with New York Film Critics Circle member Jordan Hoffman.

“Emilia Pérez” scored a record-breaking 10 nominations, but how many will it actually win? A reminder that “Barbie” led the field last year with nine and “only” walked away with two prizes, including the inaugural Cinematic and Box Office Achievement Award. It lost Best Comedy/Musical Film to “Poor Things.” Could the same fate befall “Emilia Pérez”? It has competitive rivals in five-time nominee “Anora,” which hit every category it needed to hit, and in four-time nominee “Wicked,” which missed Best Director and Best Screenplay but is a blockbuster smash. On the drama side, “The Brutalist” leads with seven bids, but could the well-liked “Conclave” upset anywhere?
