Golden Globes 2026 Nominations Announced: Shocking Picks Revealed

UPDATE: The Golden Globes 2026 nominations have just been revealed, sparking excitement and debate among film enthusiasts. Among the highlights is the unexpected recognition of Avatar: Fire & Ash and Marty Supreme, both nominated for multiple awards despite not yet being released.

The nominations were announced earlier today, and while there’s little controversy aside from the combining of musicals and comedies, the recognition of unlaunched films raises eyebrows. Sinners, Hamnet, and Frankenstein are competing for Best Picture in the drama category, while One Battle After Another and Bugonia represent the comedy side.

What stands out is the nomination of Avatar: Fire & Ash, which has been recognized for its box office potential without any public screenings. The film’s accolades are based on projections, raising questions about the criteria for award nominations.

In a similar vein, Marty Supreme, the upcoming film starring Timothée Chalamet as a fictional table tennis champion, has also secured a Best Picture nomination. This recognition is pivotal and could significantly boost the film’s visibility prior to its release.

Earlier this week, I attended a special screening of Marty Supreme at the Tate Modern. The screening was electrifying, leaving me exhilarated and eager to share my experience. The film, directed by Josh Safdie, is described as a high-energy masterpiece that captivates audiences with its rapid-fire dialogue and dynamic storytelling.

Chalamet’s performance is drawing comparisons to a young Al Pacino, showcasing his ambition to join the ranks of cinematic greats. The film’s pacing and engaging narrative make it a must-watch, and its nomination only heightens anticipation for its release.

While Avatar: Fire & Ash is expected to dominate the box office and award circuit, Marty Supreme deserves attention as an underdog story. As the film industry gears up for the Golden Globes in January 2026, both films will be pivotal in shaping the awards landscape.
