Golden Globes 2026 nominations: full list and highlights

The Golden Globes announced their 2026 nominations, and the race soon coalesced around a few heavyweights. Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another edges ahead of Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value with nine nominations, in an overall tight awards field. Ryan Coogler’s Sinners landed seven and Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet picked up six — an indication of a competitive season defined by auteur-driven dramas and boundary-pushing storytelling.

On television, The White Lotus led the way with six nominations, followed by Adolescence with five. Only Murders in the Building and Severance continue to be consistent awards forces, with four each. The ceremony, broadcast on CBS and streamed on Paramount+, is produced by Dick Clark Productions and voted on by a larger international group of more than 300 entertainment journalists.

Here is the full list spanning film, television, stand-up, and the new expanded podcast category — showing how the Globes continue to juggle prestige with popular reach, particularly with categories like Cinematic and Box Office Achievement as well as stand-up performance added in recent seasons.
