Rotten Tomatoes Predicts the 2026 Golden Globe Nominations
Rotten Tomatoes
Check out our predictions for who will be nominated next week in all the major film categories at the Golden Globes.
Next Week, the Golden Globes will release their annual nominations, and the once-beleaguered association appears to be right back where it was before the turbulence of the past few years. The ceremony is no longer on NBC, but it continues to draw impressive numbers on CBS. And this year looks to be the moment when the Golden Globes officially return to their former glory, and much of the town is rejoicing.
As we move past the warm-up lap of the early-season events and festivals and dive into the meaty part of the season, we can already glean some trends and potential frontrunners. The New York Film Critics Circle, the British Independent Film Awards, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, the National Board of Review winners, AFI, and the Critics Choice nominations have all been published, discussed, and debated. And after that first rush, we find Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another is safely positioned as the favorite. This season, the Revolutionary father-daughter misadventure has already taken the top prize at the National Board of Review, the Gotham Awards, and the New York Film Critics Circle, and many expect it to triumph at the Los Angeles Film Critics Circle this weekend as well. Still, despite that, the Golden Globes are poised to separate the contenders from the pretenders and maybe give hope to a few films that have yet to have a big moment.
At this year's Globes, Channing Tatum, Colin Farrell, Hugh Jackman, Josh O'Connell, and Daniel Craig will look to see whether they can find recognition for performances many suspect are unlikely to make it to Oscar night. Television favorites like Severance, The Pitt, The White Lotus, and other prestige series look to build on their Emmy success or, in some cases, perhaps get the long-awaited return to form after previous disappointments.
