In the lead comedy actor category, Jesse Plemons, who won at Cannes for ‘Kinds of Kindness’, is leading the charge.
The drama categories are crowded with talent, featuring actors like Adrien Brody, Ralph Fiennes, and Timothée Chalamet.
Notable Contenders
Lead Actress : Angelina Jolie, Tilda Swinton, and Nicole Kidman are strong candidates.
Supporting Actress : Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande could be key contenders, while Lady Gaga may receive a nod despite mixed reviews for ‘Joker 2’.

TV Predictions
Recent Emmy winners like FX’s ‘Shogun’ and HBO/Max’s ‘Hacks’ are likely to get nominations. New shows like Netflix’s ‘Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story’ may also be recognized. Returning hits such as ‘Squid Game’ and ‘Only Murders in the Building’ are expected to make an impact.
Changes in the Globes
