HtN’s Coverage of the Golden Globe-Nominated Films of 2026
Late last week, the 2025 (technically the 2026) Awards Season started heating up in earnest but it’s typically the nominees for Golden Globes that signify the full season kick-off. While snubs and surprises are always part of the fun, the team over here at HtN was pretty excited to see a bunch of films and filmmakers we supported this year get a nod. We took the liberty of nabbing links for films, filmmakers and performers who were covered by our awesome staff so we hope you’ll check them out below!
Jafar Panahi’s It Was Just an Accident came in strong with nominations for Best Picture: Drama, Best Director: Motion Picture, Best Motion Picture – Non-English Language and Best Screenplay – Motion Picture. Our lead critic Chris Reed spoke to Panahi about the film which he also reviewed out of the MiddleBurg Film Festival.
You think Panahi came in strong, check out the eight nominations for Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value which included Best Motion Picture – Drama, Renate Reinsve for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama, Best Motion Picture – Non-English Language, Elle Fanning for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture, Stellan Skarsgård for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture and Trier for Best Director – Motion Picture and Best Screenplay – Motion Picture. Damn! Savina Petkova reviewed the film out of Cannes.
Kleber Mendonça Filho’s Brazilian film The Secret Agent scored three noms including Best Motion Picture – Drama, Wagner Moura for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama and Best Motion Picture – Non-English Language. Chris Reed spoke with Mendonça the Middleburg Film Festival and also reviewed the film.

We were beyond thrilled to see Richard Linklater cap his “two films in the theater at the same time” autumn with nominations for both Blue Moon and Nouvelle Vague!
Nouvelle Vague scored a nominations for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy while Blue Moon also nominated for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy as well as Ethan Hawke for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy.
Chris Reed spoke with Linklater about Nouvelle Vague and also reviewed the film while Chale Nafus spoke with Linklater about Blue Moon.
Look, Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another landed nine nominations, narrowly edging out Sentimental Value’s eight. We’re not going to name them all but you should read Chris Reed’s review of the film.
You love animation? Well, a well-earned and pleasant nomination for Best Motion Picture – Animated landed with Little Amélie or the Character of Rain and Jack Schenker spoke with Maïlys Vallade and Liane-Cho Han who made the film.
Tunisia’s The Voice of Hind Rajab was nominated for Best Motion Picture – Non-English Language and Chris Reed covered that one out of Middleburg while Spain’s Sirāt came in with two nominations, Best Motion Picture – Non-English Language and Kangding Ray with Best Original Score – Motion Picture and our Editor-at-Large, Matt Delman, reviewed that film out of the New York Film Festival
And last but certainly not least, the suddenly buzzy Train Dreams nabbed two noms with Joel Edgerton for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama and Best Original Song – Motion Picture for Bryce Dessner and the great Nick Cave. Jack Schenker spoke with that films director Clint Bentley while Chris Reed reviewed the film.
Whew, what a year! Who will take home the prize? Get those wagers in and tune in January 11, 2026!
