One Battle After Another Leads The Golden Globe Nominations

The Golden Globes have spoken. On 11th January 2026, the 83rd awards presentation will take place but, for now, Paul Thomas Anderson‘s One Battle After Another leads the nominations with 9 nods.

His epic film is in the running for all the main acting categories along with Best Film (musical or comedy) and Best Director. Close to the top of the nominations list is also Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value with 8 and Ryan Coogler‘s Sinners with 7.

The Golden Globes aren’t just about films. They include television, with The White Lotus leading the way with 6 noms, including Best Drama. Behind it is Netflix’s Adolescence, which received 5 noms. The British drama is in the running for Best Limited series along with Stephen Graham, Owen Cooper, Erin Doherty and Ashley Walters.

Every year the Awards nominations deliver a few shocked snubs in all categories. I might be no fan of the Wicked films, you can’t deny Wicked: For Good (in musical or comedy). No nomination for director Jon M.Chu who also missed out last year, the film did receive 5 nominations. Sydney Sweeney‘s Christy missed, Julia Roberts in the critically panned After The Hunt received an nom.
