Between comedies, social satire and major omissions, the nominations for the 2026 Golden Globes paint a picture of Hollywood that is both flamboyant and fragile.

There&#39;s something about the <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/pop-culture/les-meilleurs-looks-du-tapis-rouge-des-golden-globes-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Golden Globe</a> nominations announcement that feels like a curtain-raiser too dazzling not to conceal some cracks. This Monday morning, Hollywood donned its glittering finery, its champagne bubbles, and its consummate art of self-celebration. Leading the charge was One . Battle After Another , a fierce and political comedy, stands out as the film of the year with nine nominations, dominating a selection where biting irony rubs shoulders with intimate drama and popular spectacle. Paul Thomas Anderson&#39;s film, a hilarious and unsettling portrait of a repressive society riddled with political violence, reigns supreme in the comedy and musical categories. Facing it are Blue Moon , Bugonia , <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/pop-culture/marty-supreme-tout-ce-que-l-on-sait-sur-le-prochain-film-avec-timothee-chalamet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marty Supreme</a> , No Other Choice , and Nouvelle Vague, all vying for attention. In the drama category, the competition promises to be just as fierce: Sentimental Value , a family chronicle of a filmmaker and his ghosts, and Sinners , a vampire film set in the segregated South, will lead the charge against <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/pop-culture/les-roles-a-venir-les-plus-attendus-de-jacob-elordi-sur-petit-et-grand-ecrans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frankenstein</a> , Hamnet , It Was Just an Accident , and The Secret Agent .

On television, the sun beats down on the imaginary terraces of <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/pop-culture/the-white-lotus-saison-4-helena-bonham-carter-l-invitee-la-plus-imprevisible" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The White Lotus</a> , which garnered six nominations. Mike White&#39;s tropical satire, now confirmed for a fourth season on the French Riviera, confirms its status as a cruel mirror to the idle elite. Not far behind, Adolescence , a formal tour de force filmed in a single take, impresses with five nominations. Only Murders in the Building and Severance follow, solid and true to their reputations. The series categories present a mixed picture: The White Lotus and Severance will compete for the title of best drama series, while Only Murders in the Building faces off against Abbott Elementary , The Bear , and Hacks in the comedy category. In the miniseries category, Adolescence will have to contend with Black Mirror and several unexpected contenders. Behind this profusion of nominations lies a discreet but decisive winner: <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/pop-culture/netflix-s-empare-de-warner-une-fusion-qui-remodele-l-industrie" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Netflix</a> , which garnered 35 nominations, ahead of Warner Bros. and HBO. A symbolic dominance at a time when streaming is faltering, layoffs are multiplying, and the box office is struggling to recover. The Golden Globes , true to their reputation as a more carefree celebration than the Oscars, embrace this paradox: dancing while the industry doubts itself.

This edition also marks a transformation. Podcasts and stand-up comedy are stepping into the spotlight, as if to capture the spirit of the times. Yet even these new categories are not immune to controversy, just like the prize for commercial success, whose list mixes undeniable triumphs with some rather perplexing bets. And then there are the absentees. Sydney Sweeney, overlooked for Christy . <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/voyage/la-magie-de-wicked-renait-sejourner-dans-le-refuge-enchante-elphaba" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wicked: For Good</a> and Superman , left by the wayside in the comedy category. Kathryn Bigelow, without a single mention this year. Conversely, surprises abound: Jacob Elordi, nominated twice, Eva Victor, revealed by an independent film, and Helen Mirren, tireless, continuing her television renaissance. The Golden Globes thrive on these imbalances, these choices that spark debate. They are less a definitive verdict than a snapshot: that of a Hollywood that laughs loudly, applauds its idols, sometimes forgets the obvious, and forges ahead, whatever the cost, on the tightrope between art, industry, and illusion. On January 11th, the celebration promises to be spectacular—even if, behind the smiles, doubt has never been so palpable.
