The shortlisted films and TV shows have been announced, with the Golden Globes taking place in Los Angeles on 11 January 2026. Here's the full breakdown of the nominations.
The nominations for the 83rd edition of Golden Globes have been announced and Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another has emerged as the frontrunner with nine nominations.
These include Best Motion Picture (Musical or Comedy), Best Director, Lead Actor for Leonardo DiCaprio, Lead Actress for Chase Infiniti and supporting nods for Benicio Del Toro, Sean Penn and Teyana Taylor.
It was followed closely by Sentimental Value (eight nominations) and Sinners (seven nominations). Chloe Zhao’s Hamnet, the adaptation of Maggie O'Farrell's novel about the death of William Shakespeare's son, hits most European cinemas early next year and has six nods.
Elsewhere, Jafar Panahi’s It Was Just An Accident – one of our favourite films of the year – managed to bag nominations for Best Motion Picture (Drama), Best Motion Picture (Non-English Language) and Best Director. It will represent France at the Oscars for Best International Feature.
Impressively, five of the six Best Motion Picture (Non-English Language) are from NEON: It Was Just An Accident (France), No Other Choice (South Korea), The Secret Agent (Brazil), Sentimental Value (Norway) and Sirāt (Spain). The sixth, The Voice of Hind Rajab (Tunisia), is from Willa.
Two notable snubs this year were Wicked: For Good, which missed out on a nomination for Best Motion Picture (Musical or Comedy), and Avatar: Fire And Ash, which was snubbed for Best Film.
On the TV front, The White Lotus and Adolescence lead with six and five nominations, respectively.

While considered a mere pitstop on the road to the Oscars in March, the Globes remain the first major Hollywood honours to reveal their shortlists. They kick off awards season and often serve as an initial blueprint when it comes to guessing who might on the radar of Academy Award voters.
Recognising both film and television, the Globes have introduced a new category this year: the award for Best Podcast.
The Globe nominations are coming on the heels of a potentially seismic shift in the entertainment world as Netflix has struck a deal to buy Warner Bros. Discovery for $82.7 billion. If approved, the deal would reshape Hollywood – and significantly reduce cinematic release windows and, by extension, represent an existential crisis for the theatrical movie experience.
In a recent twist, Donald Trump has stated that combining Netflix with Warner Bros. and HBO Max “could be a problem”, adding that it “must go through a process, and we’ll see what happens.”
It's worth noting that Netflix led all distributors with 35 nominations across film and television, followed by the company it plans to buy, as Warner Bros. and HBO received 31 nominations between them.
US comic Nikki Glaser will return to host this year's Golden Globes ceremony. Helen Mirren will receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award and Sarah Jessica Parker will be honoured with the Carol Burnett Award.
The Globes will take place in Los Angeles on 11 January 2026.
