The 83rd Golden Globe Awards are underway at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, broadcasting to us in India live on JioHotstar. The punchiest opening marquee of the 2026 awards season sees comedian Nikki Glaser returning to the podium, as film and television’s biggest contenders vie for the early hardware that often shapes the looming Oscar race.
This year’s nominations paint a portrait of the ongoing awards season, with Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another leading the charge with nine nominations, followed by strong showings from Sentimental Value, Sinners, Frankenstein and Hamnet across both musical/comedy and drama categories. One Battle After Another has dominated early precursors and critics’ gatherings, emerging as a definitive frontrunner in both comedy/musical and directing categories — a place bolstered by wins at the Critics’ Choice Awards and strong guild nominations. But the field is far from settled. Ryan Coogler’s genre-bending Sinners has emerged as a distinct awards season powerhouse, its seven Globe noms and major nods from producers and directors guilds, and auteur showcases like the Shakespearean reborn drama Hamnet feature alongside crowd-pleasers and international cinema.
Major acting categories echo this breadth. Timothée Chalamet and Jessie Buckley, fresh off Critics’ Choice wins, anchor a competitive Best Actor and Best Actress race that also features Dwayne Johnson, Michael B. Jordan, and Jennifer Lawrence among nominees. Audiences and awards voters alike are still grappling with these performances, and Globe success today could prove pivotal as the Academy draws closer to nominations.
The 98th Academy Awards are set for later this season, and though Globes success is not determinative, the ceremony’s winners often accelerate momentum. Predictions from awards analysts — supported by PGA and DGA nominations — suggest One Battle After Another, Sinners, and Hamnet remain locked in as Best Picture and directing contenders, even as surprise entries like F1 and Weapons gain traction in guild circles. Patterns from earlier season ballots point to an Oscars field rich in genre range and stylistic ambition, with the Globes serving as an early litmus test.
On the small screen, the Globes give shape to a year of both weight and wit in television. The HBO Max-set drama The White Lotus tops its field, trailed closely by Netflix’s socially charged limited series Adolescence and sharp comedy contenders like The Studio.
