Golden Globe Nominees - **Graphic Via The Cinema Group**

The Golden Globes delivered one of their boldest nomination lists in years — shaking up every major category and redefining the path to Oscar night.

The 2026 Golden Globe nominations arrived early Monday morning — and instantly detonated the awards-season landscape. What began as a predictable morning of expected frontrunners quickly reshaped itself into one of the most eclectic, star-packed, and industry-rattling nomination slates the Globes have produced in years.

One Battle After Another leads all nominees with an impressive nine citations, including best picture, director, and screenplay for Paul Thomas Anderson. The showing cements the film as a dominant force heading into the heart of the season, confirming what critics’ groups and early industry screenings have hinted at all month: Anderson has delivered one of his most muscular and emotionally forceful works in years. Close behind is Sentimental Value with eight nominations, followed by Sinners at seven, Hamnet at six, and both Frankenstein and Wicked: For Good at five each — a tightly packed field that reflects both the strength and the volatility of this year’s race.

Television delivered its own surprise surge. The White Lotus tops all TV nominees with six citations, reaffirming the series as a global awards powerhouse. Netflix’s Adolescence follows with five, while Only Murders in the Building and Severance secured four apiece, signaling a year where returning hits and sharp new arrivals are competing on nearly equal footing.

The distributor tally underscores a shifting marketplace. Neon dominated the film categories with a commanding 21 nominations — a staggering achievement for an independent studio — while Netflix led on the television side with 22. The awards ecosystem continues to tilt toward studios that can balance prestige, scale, and streaming visibility, and this year’s Globes reflect that trend with striking clarity.

Announcers Marlon Wayans and Skye P. Marshall unveiled nominees across 28 categories, marking the first year that the Golden Globes formally recognize podcasts alongside film and television. The ceremony continues to expand its cultural footprint, this time embracing stand-up comedy as a competitive category and highlighting box office achievement as a core part of its film identity.

The Globes also used the morning to reaffirm their tradition of lifetime recognition. Helen Mirren will receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award, while Sarah Jessica Parker will be honored with the Carol Burnett Award — two industry icons representing decades of influential, wide-ranging work across stage, film, and television. Both will be celebrated during the Golden Eve primetime special on Thursday, January 8, airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.

Hosted once again by Nikki Glaser, the 2026 Golden Globes will air live Sunday, January 11 at 5 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT on CBS and Paramount+. The ceremony is produced by Dick Clark Productions, owned by Penske Media Eldridge — a joint venture that also owns The Hollywood Reporter.

With the Golden Globes set to air live on January 11, 2026, this morning’s nominations don’t just preview the season — they reset it. The spread of recognition across studios, streamers, and indies signals a race far more volatile than early December usually allows. Momentum is already shifting as contenders reposition themselves ahead of guild announcements and Oscar voting, which begins just weeks after the Globes telecast. If today proved anything, it’s that the path to March’s 98th Academy Awards is wide open — crowded, unpredictable, and poised for upheaval as the campaign season accelerates.
