The 2026 Golden Globe Awards nominations arrived, where the finest in the entertainment industry receive awards. HBO's The White Lotus is leading with six nominations. The luxe Thailand-set season secured multiple acting nominations and a best drama series nomination, continuing its run as one of TV's most talked-about anthologies.
Netflix's Adolescence followed with five, while Only Murders in the Building and Severance each landed four nominations. This year's nominations reflect the Globes' ongoing evolution. Alongside the traditional categories, the HFPA has expanded its scope to include stand-up comedy specials and podcasts. This acknowledges the shift in audience habits.
Meanwhile, the industry itself continues to navigate streaming contractions, cost-cutting studio strategies, and an unpredictable box office, even as Hollywood prepares once again for its most free-spirited awards night. Netflix, fresh off its landmark acquisition of Warner Bros. and HBO, led all distributors with 35 nominations, while its soon-to-be-absorbed counterparts collectively scored 31.
On the film side, One Battle After Another surged ahead of the pack with nine nominations, emerging as the year's most recognised motion picture. The sharp sociopolitical satire earned nods for best motion picture - musical or comedy. Paul Thomas Anderson's direction and screenplay, Jonny Greenwood's score, and a powerhouse slate of performances from Leonardo DiCaprio, Chase Infiniti, Benicio Del Toro, Sean Penn, and Teyana Taylor.
Sentimental Value and Sinners also showed up strong with eight and seven nominations, respectively, competing across drama, acting, and craft categories.
The nominations were announced by Marlon Wayans and Skye P. Marshall. The night will see Nikki Glaser as the host once again.
