Golden Globes 2026 Snubs “Wicked for Good,” Conservative Podcasts, “Knives Out 3,” “Sinners” Soars, “One Battle,” “Marty Supreme” All In

Share

Here are the nominees for the 2026 Golden Globes:

The Golden Globes have snubbed “Wicked for Good” as Best Musical/Comedy or for Best Director. They did nominate Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande for Best Actress/Supp Actress in Musical/Comedy.

But “Wicked: For Good” was relegated to Best Box Office movie, a sop offered by the Globes to studios who wanted recognition for big hits.

Also snubbed: Everyone and everything from “Knives Out: Wake Up, Dead Man”

In the new category of Best Podcast, the group omitted all the conservative podcasts including Joe Rogan and Megyn Kelly. They concentrated just on podcasts about celebrities and personal growth. 

They nominated “Avatar: Fire and Ash” as best box office movie even though it hasn’t been released and has no box office yet.

The big nominees are mostly the same as the ones announced by other groups this week. “One Battle After Another” leads the list. On its way to the Oscars!
