Highlighted by honors in Best Picture (Musical or Comedy), Best Director, and all four major acting categories, One Battle After Another, Paul Thomas Anderson’s cinematic triumph, is reigning supreme with nine nominations. Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value emerged as a leading nominee with seven nominations, spotlighting performances by Stellan Skarsgård and Renate Reinsve, and Ryan Coogler’s Sinners made its mark, landing six nominations.
Six animated titles are in the running for honors in the Animated Feature division at this year’s Golden Globes. The front-runner is KPop Demon Hunters, which garnered the most nominations among animated titles, with three in total — notably in Best Cinematic and Box Office Achievement and Best Original Song. Zootopia 2 ranked next with two nods. The other films each earned a single nomination exclusively in the Best Animated Film slot: the independent production Arco, the fan-favorite anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – Infinity Castle, the Pixar-Disney collaboration Elio, and the GKIDS-distributed title Little Amélie or the Character of Rain.
