The contenders for the 2026 Golden Globe Awards are being announced on Monday, and TV series The White Lotus and Adolescence and films Sinners and One Battle After Another have racked up some of the early nominations.
On the small screen, The White Lotus has 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. 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.
Meanwhile, One Battle After Another could take home awards for best score, best supporting male actor, best screenplay, best director and more.
Among the 28 categories announced today will be a brand new award for best podcast. 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.”
