Film Favorites Emerge

On the movie side, 'One Battle After Another' stormed ahead of the competition, securing an impressive nine nominations. The film is a major contender, with nods for ‘Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy’ and a nomination for Leonardo DiCaprio in the ‘Best Leading Performance by a Male Actor’ category.

Other films also made a strong showing. 'Sentimental Value' followed closely with eight nominations, while 'Sinners' earned seven, and 'Hamnet' picked up six, positioning them as key players in the upcoming awards race.

Small Screen Standouts

In television, 'Adolescence' led the charge with five nominations. The series notably received two nominations in the same category, with both Owen Cooper and Ashley Walters recognized for ‘Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role on Television’.

The ceremony is set for January 11th, 2026, where all the nominees will gather to see who takes home the prestigious awards.
