Awards season has officially kicked off, and the 83rd Annual Golden Globes are introducing an exciting addition in 2026: Best Podcast, marking a major expansion into audio storytelling. Most award categories will feature six nominees, while the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category will stand out with eight contenders.

Two legendary figures will also be celebrated this year. Helen Mirren, who earned an acting nomination for Mobland, is set to receive the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award. Meanwhile, Sarah Jessica Parker will be honored with the Carol Burnett Award, recognizing her lasting impact on television and entertainment.

Netflix leads all distributors with 35 nominations across film and television. Warner Bros. and HBO received 31 nominations between them. Notably, Netflix has an agreement in principle to purchase Warner Bros. and HBO for $82.7 billion.

Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another emerges as the frontrunner in the comedy and musical film races, earning an impressive nine nominations. The film is recognized in major categories such as Best Picture and Best Director, while Leonardo DiCaprio also receives a Best Actor nomination for his performance. Meanwhile, in the drama film category, Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value follows closely behind with a strong showing of eight nominations.

On the television front, HBO’s The White Lotus dominates the Golden Globe nominations, leading all TV contenders with six nods across multiple categories. Adolescence, which previously swept the limited series categories at the September Emmys, continues its awards momentum with five nominations. Only Murders in the Building and Severance also perform well, each securing four nominations.
