The 2026 Golden Globe nominations are in, and the music world is buzzing! A host of talented composers and musicians have been recognized for their outstanding work, setting the stage for an exciting awards season. Let's dive into the highlights!
Among the nominees for Best Original Score for a Motion Picture, we find the brilliant Jonny Greenwood, known for his work with Radiohead, and Max Richter, both vying for the coveted award. Greenwood's score for 'One Battle After Another' and Richter's composition for 'Hamnet' have earned them well-deserved nods. These two, along with other nominees, are recognized for their ability to elevate the cinematic experience through their musical prowess.
Adding to the excitement, Nick Cave and Bryce Dessner of The National are celebrating their first-ever Golden Globe nominations! They are in the running for Best Original Song for a Motion Picture, thanks to their track from the Netflix drama 'Train Dreams.' They're up against formidable competition, including Miley Cyrus and Raphael Saadiq, promising a thrilling race for the award.
'One Battle After Another' leads the pack, securing an impressive nine nominations, tying for third-most nominations ever. Close behind are Joachim Trier’s 'Sentimental Value' with eight nominations and Ryan Coogler’s 'Sinners' with seven.
But here's where it gets controversial... While 'Marty Supreme' received three nominations, the score by Oneohtrix Point Never's Daniel Lopatin was surprisingly overlooked. Similarly, 'The Smashing Machine' garnered acting nominations, but Nala Sinephro's score didn't get a mention. These omissions spark debate about the Academy's criteria and the importance of musical scores.
