BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – Leonardo DiCaprio, Timothée Chalamet and other top names in show business will compete for awards Sunday at the Golden Globes, one of the major film competitions on Hollywood’s journey to the Academy Awards. DiCaprio’s film, “One Battle After Another,” leads the list of film nominees at a champagne-filled ceremony in Beverly Hills, California. This dark comedy tells the story of a traitorous revolutionary who springs into action when his daughter’s life is in danger. DiCaprio’s co-stars Benicio del Toro, Sean Penn, Chase Infiniti and Teyana Taylor were nominated.
Comedian Nikki Glaser will return for a second stint as host of the awards show, which begins at 8 p.m. Eastern time. The celebration will be broadcast live on CBS and streamed on Paramount. TV shows will also be honored and, for the first time, a podcast trophy will be given.
Glaser said Hollywood’s A-list need not be intimidated by her monologue. Past Globes hosts have made sharp jokes about many of the stars in attendance.
He said, “They shouldn’t be worried because I actually made this set so it won’t ruin anyone’s night.” “I don’t think I’ll have to avoid anyone at the after-party.” “One Battle,” distributed by Warner Bros., will compete against table tennis tale “Marty Supreme” and black comedy “Bugonia,” starring Chalamet, in the best film musical or comedy category. The best picture drama race includes “Jay Kelly,” starring George Clooney grappling with his legacy as an actor and Adam Sandler as his devoted manager. Other nominated film dramas include Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein,” the supernatural horror film “Sinners” and “Hamnet,” a story about William Shakespeare’s family. Other acting nominees include Chalamet for “The Smashing Machine”, Dwayne Johnson for “Sinners”, Michael B. Jordan, Jessie Buckley for “Hamnet” and Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo for the musical sequel “Wicked: For Good.”
The Globes are one of the first of the 2026 Hollywood awards to be handed out ahead of the film industry’s top honors, the Academy Awards, in March.
Globes voters have no say in the Oscars, but a win at the Globes can help attract the attention of potential Academy Award contenders.
Recipients of the Globes are chosen by more than 300 entertainment journalists, while approximately 9,000 voters select the Oscars. The Globes voting body was expanded in recent years and organizers instituted reforms after criticism for ethical lapses and lack of diversity. Globes voters highlighted several international films in this year’s nominations. These include the Norwegian family drama “Sentimental Value”, Iranian director Jafar Panahi’s “It Was Just an Accident” and the Brazilian drama “The Secret Agent”. In a new podcast category, the field includes “Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard,” “Call Her Daddy,” “Good Hang with Amy Poehler” and “The Mel Robbins Podcast.” HBO’s vacation mystery “The White Lotus” leads the TV categories in nominations, ahead of Netflix’s limited series “Adolescence” about a 13-year-old accused of murder.
