My 2026 Golden Globe Predictions

I am not quite sure if I’ve just become too close to the content in my line of work these days, but I feel like some of these nominee to winner pipelines feel extremely predictable right now.

While I’m sharing my predictions based on what we’ve seen at the Emmys, the Critics Choice Awards, and the general buzz, I am actually vying for a few upsets and surprises. There is a strong part of me that hopes I’m wrong on a few of these!

Except about The Pitt. Finna be in The Pitt forever.

Let me know who you’re rooting for, your thoughts with my selects and what you’re most excited to see at tonight’s award show!
