Sydney Sweeney and Julia Roberts Shine in Latest News Update

The latest Golden Globe nominations have sparked discussions surrounding notable omissions and surprising recognitions. Several films and performances that generated buzz fell short in the nominations.

Sydney Sweeney and Julia Roberts Highlight Golden Globe Nominations

Among the films underperforming were the boxing biopic “Christy,” featuring Sydney Sweeney. Despite high expectations, it received no nominations, leaving its lead actress unrecognized. Similarly, the nuclear thriller “House of Dynamite” and “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” starring Jennifer Lopez, failed to make the cut.

Major Awards Snubs

Other films like “Wake Up Dead Man,” the latest installment in the “Knives Out” series, and “Jay Kelly,” featuring George Clooney and Adam Sandler, received nominations for individual performances but were overlooked for best picture. No nod went to director Noah Baumbach for “Jay Kelly,” despite his previous accolades.

• Laura Dern, who previously won a Golden Globe in 2020, was not nominated for her performances in “Jay Kelly” and “Is This Thing On?”
• “Sinners,” despite acclaim, only acknowledged Michael B. Jordan in the nominations.
• Notable omissions included actors Miles Caton, Delroy Lindo, and Hailee Steinfeld.

Unexpected Nominations

This year also brought surprising nominations. Sydney Sweeney’s co-star Julia Roberts received recognition for her role in “After the Hunt,” a film that garnered poor reviews. Eva Victor from “Sorry, Baby” and Tessa Thompson from “Hedda” also received unexpected nods for best actress in a drama.

Jacob Elordi achieved a rare feat with double nominations across films and television. He was recognized for “Frankenstein” and “The Narrow Road to the Deep North.” Meanwhile, Ashley Walters received a surprise nomination for “Adolescence.”

Television Nominations and Snubs

Television categories faced their share of surprises and shutouts. Although newcomers like “All Her Fault” and “Pluribus” received recognition, popular shows like “The Gilded Age” and “Stranger Things” were left out.

• “The Handmaid’s Tale” was also overlooked this year.
• The cast from “Abbott Elementary” did not receive acting nominations, despite being recognized for best comedy series.

Podcast Recognition

A new category for podcasts was introduced at the Golden Globes this year. However, despite its popularity, “The Joe Rogan Experience” did not make the nomination list. Conservative podcasts like “The Megyn Kelly Show” and “The Tucker Carlson Show” were also not included, alongside liberal-leaning “Pod Save America.”

Looking Ahead to the Ceremony

The Golden Globes will take place on Sunday, January 11, 2026, at 5 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT. The ceremony will be broadcast live on CBS and Paramount+. Anticipation grows as returning host Nikki Glaser prepares for the event.
