Golden Globes 2026 Nominations Are Here—See the Honorees

After a competitive year of cinema that featured box office record breakers like Wicked: For Good, Zootopia 2, and Sinners, along with star-studded flicks including Jay Kelly, One Battle After Another, and Marty Supreme, the tallies are in. One Battle After Another led the pack with nine nominations, while Sentimental Value scored eight and Sinners, seven nods. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo also received nominations for their respective roles in Wicked: For Good, making them members of a select group of actors to earn back-to-back nominations for the same role.

Also in this year’s race are Emma Stone for her role in Bugonia and Kate Hudson for Song Sung Blue, as well as Timothée Chalamet for Marty Supreme, George Clooney for Jay Kelly, and Leonardo DiCaprio for One Battle After Another.

Although Golden Globes are known to be the fun, slightly-less-serious younger sister, they often serve as a precursor for the most prestigious night of the year: the Oscars. The Academy will announce its 2026 nominations on January 22. Of course, the Golden Globes separate drama and comedy/musical categories, giving films and actors an even better chance of receiving an honor.

This year in television, scripted series like The White Lotus, Severance, and The Pitt had us glued to our screens and already received recognition at the 2025 Emmys. The White Lotus received six nods, followed by Adolescence with five.
