Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley will be flying the flag for Ireland at the Golden Globes ceremony in January, having both been nominated for their acting roles in Hamnet.
Adapted from novelist Maggie O’Farrell’s 2020 bestseller of the same name, Hamnet tells the story of William Shakespeare (Mescal) and his wife Agnes (Buckley).
O’Farrell, who is from Northern Ireland, also got a nod in today’s nominations, putting her in with a chance to win best screenplay alongside the film’s director Chloé Zhao.
One Battle After Another led the pack of films nominated, earning nine mentions on the shortlist, while Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value gained eight nominations.
One Battle After Another is in the running for best comedy or musical, best director, best original screenplay, leading actor for Leonardo DiCaprio, leading actor for Chase Infinity, supporting actress for Teyana Taylor.
The epic has two chances to scoop supporting actor – for Sean Penn and Benicio del Toro. Jonny Greenwood’s score was also recognised.

Not long now until proceedings kick off.
Actors, films and TV shows are nominated for Golden Globes by a group of international entertainment journalists.
It’s worth noting that this separates the Globes from the Oscars, where nominations and winners are determined by members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which is made up of people who work in the film industry.
After nominations are announced today, the group of entertainment journalists will receive the list, and vote for one nominee in each category.
If there’s a tie, the winner will be the one who had the most votes on the nomination ballot.
Here are some reviews of the frontrunning films by our critic Donald Clarke, while we patiently await the announcement of this year’s nominees.
One Battle After Another: Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn face off in Paul Thomas Anderson’s thrilling epic
Wicked: For Good: Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo almost save this deflated prequel
Sinners: The best film of 2025 so far, right down to the Celtic vampires singing Rocky Road to Dublin
Before we find out the nominees for the 83rd Golden Globes, let’s take a quick recap of the standout films who took home prizes in the awards’ 82nd year.
Spanish-language musical film Emilia Pérez dominated, scooping up an impressive four awards which included wins for lead and supporting actors Karla Sofía Gascón and Zoe Saldaña.
Gascón, who played a Mexican drug boss undergoing gender-affirming surgery in Audiard’s musical, gave a moving acceptance speech.
“The light always wins over darkness,” she said. “You can put us in jail. You can beat us up. But you can never take away our soul, our resistance, our identity.”
There were three trophies for The Brutalist: best film (drama), Adrien Brody won best actor (drama) for his portrayal of a Hungarian-Jewish architect who starts a new life in America, and Brady Corbet was named best director.
In the TV categories, Shōgun, set in 17th century Japan, also won four prizes.
Back in January, Colin Farrell won his third Golden Globe award in best limited TV series for acting in The Penguin.
The Dubliner beat old mate Andrew Scott, who was nominated for Ripley last year, to the Globe, recalling their first onscreen collaboration in his acceptance speech.
“Andrew, you were in my first film, 25 or 30 years ago,” he said, seemingly in reference to Owen McPolin’s Drinking Crude. “You can’t even find it on Betamax. It doesn’t exist. We go back that far.”
Leonardo DiCaprio’s film One Battle After Another and musical phenomenon Wicked: For Good are also expected to receive nominations later, as are Timothee Chalamet’s ping pong comedy-drama Marty Supreme and vampire film Sinners starring Michael B Jordan.
Each award category will feature six nominees, with the exception of cinematic and box office achievement, which will include eight.
In TV, Netflix’s Adolescence — a chilling four-part series about toxic masculinity starring Owen Cooper as the lead — and Hollywood comedy The Studio are likely to be frontrunners.
Cooper made history earlier this year when he became the youngest person ever nominated for supporting actor in a limited series, and the youngest male actor to win an Emmy.
Hello and welcome to The Irish Times live coverage of the 83rd Golden Globe Awards nominations announcement.
US actors Marlon Wayans and Skye P. Marshall will be beginning proceedings at 1.15pm Irish time. The pair are set to present nominees across 28 award categories, including a new addition honouring podcasting.
Nominees for this category will be chosen from the list of 25 most-listened-to podcasts, determined by data from podcast platforms like Apple and Spotify, which were announced in October.
We will be watching closely for all Irish interests. Co-stars Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal have been tipped to land nominations this afternoon for their roles in Chloe Zhao’s acclaimed drama Hamnet.
Buckley seems to be a frontrunner for best actress in the highly coveted Oscars, so a nod today would help set her on that path.
The film is adapted from Maggie O’Farrell’s bestselling 2020 novel of the same name, which tells the story of William Shakespeare (Mescal) and his wife Agnes (Buckley).
The Globes are the first major Hollywood honours to reveal their shortlists, effectively kicking off a film awards season that will last until the Oscars in March.
Winners will be revealed in a star-studded ceremony hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, on January 11th.
