Awards season has officially begun. Overnight, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association unveiled its 2026 Golden Globe nominations, handing this year’s frontrunner status to Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another. With nine nominations—including Best Picture, Director, Screenplay, and a sweep of nods to its talented cast—it’s the one to watch as ballots begin to gather momentum.

Close on its heels, Joachim Trier’s bittersweet family drama Sentimental Value managed to secure eight nominations, while Ryan Coogler’s gothic action blockbuster Sinners continued a remarkable run with seven.

Because the Globes separate drama from musical/comedy, One Battle After Another heads the latter category, while Sentimental Value and Sinners will challenge each other for Best Motion Picture- Drama. Also in contention: Frankenstein, Hamnet, It Was Just an Accident and The Secret Agent.

Television had its own share of surprises. The third instalment of The White Lotus once again proved highly acclaimed, landing six nominations, followed by Stephen Graham’s ambitious one-shot crime series Adolescence with five. Only Murders in the Building and Severance both earned four nods, keeping streamers firmly in play. Notably, Netflix leads overall in television nominations.

As always, the Globes weren’t afraid of unexpected decisions. Wicked: For Good missed out on Best Picture entirely; Jacob Elordi found himself nominated for both film and a TV; and performances from Sydney Sweeney, Wunmi Mosaku and more were considered as snubs.

Still, it wouldn’t be the Globes without a little chaos. And with Nikki Glaser set to return as host come January 11, 2026, streaming live from the Beverly Hilton Hotel, the race to awards season is officially underway.
