Jason Momoa<\/strong>‘s buzzy new limited series has solidified its awards strategy for the upcoming Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards, Gold Derby has learned exclusively.<\/p>\n

Chief of War<\/em> tells the epic true tale of the Hawaiian Islands’ unification through the eyes of its indigenous people at the end of the 18th century. The story follows a powerful Hawaiian warrior leader, Ka’iana (Momoa), who leads the effort to bring together the separate, feuding islands in order to combine their strength and stop colonization.<\/p>\n

More from Gold Derby<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to Momoa as the titular war chief, the program also stars Luciane Buchanan<\/strong> (as Ka’ahumanu), Temuera Morrison<\/strong> (as King Kahekili), and Te Ao O Hinepehinga<\/strong> (as Kupuohi). Chief of War<\/em>, which prides itself on having a predominantly Polynesian cast, premiered with two episodes on Aug. 1 and streamed weekly on Apple TV until the Sept. 19 finale.<\/p>\n

Momoa and Thomas Pa’a Sibbett<\/strong> created the series, which served as a passion project for both of them due to their Native Hawaiian heritage. Justin Chon<\/strong> directed the first two episodes, and Momoa directed the finale. Hans Zimmer<\/strong> wrote the theme song and co-produced the score.<\/p>\n

At the 2026 Golden Globes<\/a>, Momoa will be entered in the Best Limited\/Movie Actor race, where he’ll contend against TV heavyweights like Stephen Graham<\/strong> (Adolescence<\/em>), who just won the Emmy, Brian Tyree Henry<\/strong> (Dope Thief<\/em>), Charlie Hunnam<\/strong> (Monster: The Ed Gein Story<\/em>), Jason Bateman<\/strong> (Black Rabbit<\/em>), Jude Law<\/strong> (Black Rabbit<\/em>), and Paul Giamatti<\/strong> (Black Mirror<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Momoa’s likely competition will be similar at the 2026 SAG Awards<\/a>, but since lead and supporting performers compete together at the guild, expect featured Emmy champion Owen Cooper<\/strong> (Adolescence<\/em>) to be a strong contender there.<\/p>\n

Chief of War<\/em> has a 71 score on Metacritic<\/a>, with television reviews praising Momoa’s “finest work to date” (Paste<\/a>), the writers’ “acute attention to detail” (Variety<\/a><\/em>), and a scope that’s “on the same playing field” as the Emmy-dominating Sh\u014dgun<\/em> (San Jose Mercury News<\/a><\/em>). Plus, RogerEbert.com<\/a> calls it a “meditative” production that “demands to be seen.”<\/p>\n
