The 73rd annual Golden Globe Awards are this Sunday and all of Hollywood will be gathered to honor the best in movies and television over the past year. While many of the actors up for awards are perennial nominees, such as Christian Bale ("The Big Short") and Helen Mirren ("Trumbo"), many others are getting their first chance at award show glory. Will there be any first-time winners?

The first time pack is led by Alicia Vikander, whose big year in 2015 scored her two nominations, one for best actress in a motion picture – drama for "The Danish Girl," and another for best supporting actress in a motion picture for the sci-fi thriller "Ex Machina." Plus, some big names have finally broken through for their first nominations, including Melissa McCarthy (best actress in a motion picture – comedy or musical for "Spy), Amy Schumer (best actress in a motion picture – comedy or musical for "Trainwreck"), and Paul Dano (best supporting actor in a motion picture for "Love & Mercy"). Then, there is the best supporting actor in television series, limited series, or television motion picture category, where all but one of the nominees are first timers.

All in all, there are 25 actors and actresses that make up this year’s Golden Globes freshman class of actors. Here is the full list of the first-time nominees:
