One Battle After Another Leads 2026 Golden Globes Nominees — See The Full List

The British Independent FilmAwards have been handed out, For Your Consideration ads are cropping up everywhere, and the cast and crew behind the biggest films of 2025 have started rocking up on chat shows, at special screenings, and in TikToks everywhere, which can only mean one thing: awards season is upon us once again. And just this afternoon, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's nominees were announced for the 2026 Golden Globe Awards, offering a steer on the frontrunners for the biggies — the BAFTAs and Oscars — to come. With that being said, so far Paul Thomas Anderson's revolutionary epic One Battle After Another is leading the pack with a hefty nine nominations — including nods in Best Picture (Musical or Comedy), Best Director, and all four major acting categories. Hot on its tail, with seven and six nominations apiece, are Joachim Trier's Stellan Skarsgård and Renate Reinsve led drama Sentimental Value and Ryan Coogler's Southern Gothic chiller Sinners.

Both Sinners and Sentimental Value are set to duke it out in a very competitive Best Picture (Drama) race, where Guillermo del Toro and Chloé Zhao's literary adaptations Frankenstein and Hamnet are joined by international efforts from Jafar Panahi (It Was Just An Accident) and Kleber Mendonça Filho (The Secret Agent). One Battle After Another on the other hand faces similarly stiff competition in the Best Picture (Musical or Comedy) run-in, which offers up a double helping of Richard Linklater (Blue Moon, Nouvelle Vague), Josh Safdie's Marty Supreme, Yorgos Lanthimos' alien conspiracy satire Bugonia, and Park Chan-wook's No Other Choice. Notably however, despite stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande getting deserved acting nominations for Wicked: For Good, the movie itself — winner of the category last year — has been snubbed after receiving a lukewarm reception, despite proving as popular at the box office as the first film.

Elsewhere, the continued inexplicable existence of a Cinematic And Box Office Achievement category grants us nominations for the as-yet-unreleased Avatar: Fire And Ash and straight-to-streaming sensation KPop Demon Hunters (also up for Best Animation and Original Song), but eyebrow-raisingly has no space for James Gunn's $600+ million grossing DC Studios blockbuster Superman. Still, pleasant surprises abound elsewhere, with Jessie Buckley and Eve Victor scoring acting nominations for their work in Hamnet and Sorry, Baby respectively, Dwayne Johnson's transformation for The Smashing Machine earning the former WWE superstar his first Golden Globes nod, and Joel Edgerton sneaking into the acting race for his understated performance in Netflix sensation Train Dreams.

All that, and we haven't even touched on the TV nominations (Andor was, by and large, snubbed we tell you — snubbed!), which were also revealed today. But more on those in the full list of Golden Globes nominations below, don't you worry…
