The 2026 Golden Globe nominations have landed, painting a vivid picture of the year’s cinematic and television achievements. Leading the charge is One Battle After Another with a remarkable nine nominations, but the awards field is packed with variety — from moody dramas and inventive comedies to cutting-edge limited series and standout performances.
In the Best Motion Picture – Drama category, Frankenstein, Hamnet, and Sinners join One Battle After Another, each bringing a distinct creative voice. Meanwhile, the Musical or Comedy lineup is equally diverse, with nominations for the whimsical Blue Moon, the satirical Bugonia, the stylish Marty Supreme, and the animated hit The Night Zoo.
Acting nominations reflect both Hollywood royalty and rising talent. Cynthia Erivo and Rose Byrne stand out in a competitive Best Actress field, while the Best Actor race includes turns by breakout performers and established stars alike. Supporting categories highlight scene-stealing work from veterans and new faces, and the new category for Stand-Up Comedy Performance brings overdue recognition to that genre.
Television, too, showcases its growing prestige. The White Lotus leads all shows with six nominations, thanks to its lush visuals and biting satire. Severance and The Bear follow closely, earning nods for both lead performances and ensemble work. The Limited Series category includes gripping entries like Featherstone and Rewind, while comedy favorites like Only Murders in the Building continue to charm voters.
Behind the scenes, names like Jonny Greenwood, Max Richter, and Nick Cave surface in the Original Score and Song categories, reinforcing the Globes’ recognition of music as a storytelling force.
With the ceremony set for January 11, 2026 at the Beverly Hilton, this year’s Globes promise to be more than a glitzy red-carpet event. It’s a celebration of the ever-expanding boundaries of storytelling, across every format and genre.
