- One Battle After Another Leads a Globes Race Full of Surprises
On the film side, One Battle After Another leads the race, showing up in multiple major categories and instantly setting the tone as one of the prestige contenders this season. Not far behind are Sentimental Value and Sinners , both of which have become critical darlings and now find themselves firmly in the spotlight. The nominees span everything from intense dramas like Hamnet and The Secret Agent to vibrant musical and comedy contenders such as Bugonia , Marty Supreme , and the stylishly praised Blue Moon . It’s a diverse field, and honestly, it feels like one of the most balanced slates the Globes have offered in years.
There’s also something entirely new this time around: the introduction of the Best Podcast category. It’s a clear nod to how storytelling has expanded beyond movies and television, and it’s interesting to watch the Globes move with the times by recognizing creators in these newer formats. Shows like Smartless , Armchair Expert , and The Mel Robbins Podcast are now part of award season history.
The acting categories are stacked with star power. Performers such as Jessie Buckley, Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar Isaac, Emma Stone, Timothée Chalamet, and Leonardo DiCaprio are all in the running. Meanwhile, supporting categories spotlight a mix of Hollywood icons and rising talent — names like Benicio Del Toro, Paul Mescal, Emily Blunt, and Ariana Grande all appear, making those races especially unpredictable.
Television also shines brightly this year. The White Lotus leads with six nominations, solidifying its status as one of the most talked-about series of the moment. Strong showings from Severance , Pluribus , The Diplomat , and The Bear add more weight to an already competitive field. Limited series and anthology nominees like Adolescence and Black Mirror add even more intensity to the TV landscape, while the stand-up category brings in a different energy with performers like Kevin Hart, Ricky Gervais, and Sarah Silverman.
The 2026 Golden Globe Awards will air live on January 11, returning to the Beverly Hilton with Nikki Glaser hosting once again. With such a wide range of stories and voices being recognized, it feels like this year’s ceremony is shaping up to be one of the most exciting yet.
