Golden Globes: Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” Leads With 9 Nominations

The 2026 Golden Globe nominations have been announced, and Paul Thomas Anderson’s brilliant, breathless One Battle After Another leads the pack with nine nominations, including for best picture, director, screenwriter, and a slew of best performances (for Leonardo DiCaprio, Chase Infiniti, Teyana Taylor, Benicio del Toro, and Sean Penn).

Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value took in 8 nominations, followed by Ryan Coogler‘s Sinners, which nabbed seven. Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet scooped up six, followed by Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein and Jon M. Chu‘s Wicked: For Good, which each garnered five.

Over on the television side, Mike White’s The White Lotus once again cleaned up the nominations, topping the list with six. Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham’s terrific, heartbreaking limited series Adolescence followed with five noms, while Only Murders in the Building and Severance followed with four apiece.

It was previously announced that at the upcoming Globes, Helem Mirren would receive this year’s Cecil B. DeMille Award and Sarah Jessica Parker will receive this year’s Carol Burnett Award. Both Mirren and Parker will be honored during the primetime special on Thursday, Jan. 8, on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
