The nominees for the 83rd Golden Globes Awards are out, and boy are some of them weird. Awards season always enjoys a couple snubs, with highly influential or successful movies just outright ignored, and people are already screaming from the rooftops that Wicked: For Good has been snubbed even though it has multiple nominations here.

The one I’m most interested in is how Avatar: Fire and Ash can be considered for “cinematic or box office achievement” before it has even hit cinemas, or how Ne Zha 2, a film that has literally earned almost $2 billion this year, isn’t on the list. It’s possible Ne Zha 2 wasn’t nominated as an option, but… come on.

In saying that, there are some fantastic films and performances on display here—ones that absolutely deserve to be recognised. The 83rd Golden Globes, which is set to air January 11, 2026, will be hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser. Here’s the full list of categories, and nominees:
