Apple TV+ enters this year’s Golden Globe race with 14 nominations, a figure slightly below last year’s record but still strong enough to signal the platform’s ongoing push into awards-oriented programming. Rather than relying on a single breakout title, Apple’s recognition this season is spread across several series and films, indicating a broader effort to sustain a slate that appeals to awards voters as much as general audiences.
Notably, Apple secured half the available spots in the Best Television Series — Drama category with Severance, Slow Horses, and Pluribus. Landing three nominations in one of the ceremony’s most competitive groups reflects a degree of consistency the service has worked toward since its launch. Pluribus, in particular, continues its upward trajectory, also earning a nomination for Best Television Series — Musical or Comedy, positioning it as a title that has made an unexpectedly quick impact within the platform’s catalog.
Acting categories brought additional momentum. Rhea Seehorn received a nomination for Best Female Actor — Drama for her work in Pluribus, joined by Britt Lower from Severance, placing two Apple actors in direct competition. Severance continued to show depth with Tramell Tillman nominated for Best Supporting Male Actor, while Billy Crudup earned a nod in the same category for The Morning Show. Slow Horses remains a steady awards presence as Gary Oldman collected another nomination for his lead performance. Taken together, these nods point to an ensemble of shows that rely less on one marquee star and more on a collection of well-received performances across genres.
Apple’s film division also secured recognition, even though F1: The Movie fell short of a Best Picture nomination. Hans Zimmer’s score earned a nomination, and the film appeared in the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category—an acknowledgment of Apple’s continued investment in theatrical releases despite operating primarily as a streaming service. These nominations illustrate Apple’s interest in balancing prestige titles with broader commercial projects, a strategy common among studios trying to secure cultural visibility while competing for awards.
The Golden Globe winners will be announced on January 11. With nominations spanning drama, comedy, and feature films, Apple TV+ enters the ceremony with a more diversified and confident slate than in past years. Whether the platform translates these nominations into wins remains to be seen, but the showing underscores Apple’s steady rise as a participant in prestige television and film.
