The Golden Globes have unveiled their 2026 nominations, offering an early snapshot of how the upcoming awards season may unfold across film, television, and emerging media categories. With the ceremony set for January 11, this year’s lineup reflects a mix of expected frontrunners, late-season surprises, and a handful of notable omissions that are likely to shape industry debate in the weeks ahead. Established contenders such as One Battle After Another, Hamnet, and The White Lotus secured prominent positions, while other high-profile titles, including Wicked: For Good and Andor, saw more limited recognition despite strong followings. As studios, streamers, and audiences look toward the months leading up to the Oscars, the Globes’ selections highlight the ongoing shifts in creative output, audience behavior, and the evolving balance between theatrical releases and streaming-driven storytelling.
