The Golden Globes take place on January 11, 2026, kicking off what promises to be an exciting awards season. The full list of nominees has just been unveiled, and while genre fare like Sinners, Frankenstein, and Severance have made their mark, superheroes have, once again, been snubbed.
There was no love for Thunderbolts*, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, or Superman, with the latter's absence taking many awards experts in the trades by surprise (it was headline news at Variety).
The "Cinematic and Box Office Achievement Nominations" category is meant to shine a spotlight on popcorn entertainment. However, the Man of Steel was frozen out, with movies like Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, Avatar: Fire and Ash, and Wicked: For Good among those highlighted.
Given that Superman relaunched the DC Universe and is the highest-grossing superhero movie of 2025, it is surprising that it's been entirely overlooked. Similar to the MCU's 2025 releases, it clearly wasn't deemed worthy.
Talking of the Wicked sequel, Cynthia Erivo has made Golden Globes history by becoming the first Black woman nominated twice in the "Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy" category. Last year, she lost out to The Substance's Demi Moore.
Andor Season 2 was also snubbed, but lead star Diego Luna was at least recognised in the "Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Series - Drama" category. Stranger Things Season 5 has also been completely shut out.
There aren't really many shocks, though we're sure James Gunn will be disappointed to see Superman overlooked, given what a robust FYC campaign DC Studios has launched for the blockbuster.
