This morning, the Golden Globes nominations were unveiled. Were there big surprises? The snub of “Wicked: For Good” in the best picture category, for one. There was also a very gratifying nomination of Amy Madigan for her turn as the villain in “Weapons.” Overall, most of the nominations closely tracked awards predictions.
Also, all the popular TV shows got nominated.
As is the case every year, the Globes awards categories suffer from the insistence to categorize movies and television shows as either drama or as “musical or comedy.” (There are also always a good couple questions each year about who’s a “supporting” actor and who’s just acting.)
The Globes awards show will be held on January 11, 2026, and will be hosted by Nikki Glaser. Here’s what you’ll see!

“One Battle After Another” was considered by awards-watchers to be the lead contender for awards and it did just that. That film, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio at his most offhandedly brilliant as a hapless revolutionary bumbling into nightmarish political machinations, all while surrounded by fabulous, powerful and troubled women, is currently available for streaming at movie-theater ticket prices. It will return to select IMAX theaters on December 11th for a week; few tickets remain.
“One Battle After Another” star Sean Penn, with Julia Roberts.
The gorgeous Joachim Trier film “Sentimental Value,” which received multiple nominations, tracks the relationship between a distressed, easily panicked actress and her callous film director father — plus the life of their family’s house as well. In addition to an unbelievable performance by Renate Reinsve in the lead role, the film also has Elle Fanning absolutely nailing the role of an American actress pushed to the levels of her comfort and talent.
It seems like a lifetime ago, but “Sinners” was released just back in April and voters remembered its cultural moment and box office success. The Ryan Coogler Jim-Crow-plus-vampires hit neatly mashed up the horrors of the supernatural with the horrors of the very human.
“Hamnet” and “Wicked: For Good,” representing polar opposites of the year in film, also had strong showings.
Parents were unsurprised by nominations for “KPop Demon Hunters,” the soundtrack of their lives since the mega-hit was released on Netflix just (can you believe it!) back in June.
Kids can’t get enough of ‘KPop Demon Hunters.’ We asked them to explain why
There was a very important nomination for the very avatar of our age of apprehension: the terrifying clown-witch visage of Aunt Gladys in “Weapons.”
(“One Battle,” “Weapons,” and “Sinners” are produced, co-produced and/or distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, which currently shares a parent company with celebrity.land.)
Both “Severance,” the eerie tribute to the awfulness of having to work, and “Adolescence,” the Netflix mega-smash about a teenager accused of murder, were well-recognized.
“Pluribus,” “The Last of Us” and “The Pitt” — all extremely stressful shows, each apocalyptic in their own way, especially about the dire state of the American health care system — performed well too.
The Golden Globes awards show, hosted by Nikki Glaser, will take place on Sunday, January 11, 2026. The nominations will be announced beginning at 8 a.m. ET on Monday, December 8, 2025.
