One Battle After Another took the lead in film nominations for the 2026 Golden Globes on Monday, while The White Lotus and Adolescence got lots of love in TV categories.
The White Lotus received nominations for roles by Walton Goggins, Carrie Coon and Jason Isaacs, who are all up for best supporting actor/actress awards, respectively. Netflix show Adolescence is similarly nominated, as actors Owen Cooper and Stephen Graham are up for awards, while the show itself is up for best limited series.
As expected, Sinners and One Battle After Another have collected a number of nominations in the film categories. One Battle After Another pulled ahead as the front-runner with nine total nominations across categories including best score, best supporting male actor, best screenplay, best director and more.
The film, in which Leonardo di Caprio plays an ex-revolutionary who is living in hiding with his teenage daughter, is an award show favourite this year which has received lots of praise, with a 94 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes and 95 per cent on Metacritic.
Meanwhile, Sinners is in the running for awards like best cinematic and box office achievement and best motion picture, as well as for Michael B. Jordan's performance in the film, in which he plays two twin brothers.
Among the 28 categories announced today is a brand new award for best podcast, with inaugural nominees Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard, Call Her Daddy, Good Hang With Amy Poehler, The Mel Robbins Podcast, SmartLess and NPR's Up First.
The addition of the new category will honour “diverse talents in the medium,” according to the Golden Globes, as part of their commitment to honour the full spectrum of entertainment.
The Golden Globes have come under scrutiny in recent years for a lack of diversity and ethical lapses by the The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), the voting group previously behind the awards. The HFPA was shuttered in 2022 when the award show was sold to a new owner, and the award show has been trying to rebuild its reputation since then.
The upcoming award show on Jan. 11 will be the 83rd iteration of the Golden Globes, and will be hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser. Glaser hosted the awards for the first time in 2025.
“Hosting the Golden Globes this year was without a doubt the most fun I have ever had in my career,” Glaser said in a statement from March. “I can’t wait to do it again, and this time in front of the team from The White Lotus, who will finally recognize my talent and cast me in Season 4 as a Scandinavian Pilates instructor with a shadowy past.”
