The Oscar season came into focus Monday morning in the US with the announcement of the 2026 Golden Globe nominations.
As expected, films like “One Battle After Another,” “Sentimental Value” and “Sinners” racked up multiple nominations, while “White Lotus,” “Adolescence” and “Only Murders in the Building” led the television categories.
The nominations were announced by Marlon Wayans and Skye P. Marshall.
The Globes are often described as Hollywood’s biggest party, the tipsy, table-hopping kickoff to Oscars season, where television and film share the same stage.
Helen Mirren will receive this year’s Cecil B. DeMille Award for her contributions to film, while Sarah Jessica Parker will take the Carol Burnett Award in a nod to her television performances. Both will be celebrated during the “Golden Eve” prime-time special on January 8.
Organisers also announced the addition of a podcast of the year award.
Comedian Nikki Glaser will be back again as host for the winners' ceremony on January 11.
Here are the top categories. For a full list, visit goldenglobes.com.
