Mazal Tovs all round!
Here are all the Jewish nominees for the 2026 Golden Globes.
(With Hey Alma!) Get ready to nosh on some seriously juicy award-season tea, because when the 2026 Golden Globe Awards noms dropped, Jewish stars and stories were quietly but powerfully putting Hollywood on notice.
When Nikki Glaser returns as host though, the hilarious comedian still won’t be Jewish. But there are plenty of Jewish nominees being honoured for their excellence in film and television this year.
One Battle After Another, directed and written by Paul Thomas Anderson (aka Maya Rudolph’s husband), came away with nine nominations, the most of any title.
Sentimental Value received eight nominations, Sinners landed seven, Hamnet trailed just behind with six and both Frankenstein and Wicked: For Good got five nods.
Meanwhile, Marty Supreme, the forthcoming Timothée Chalamet movie inspired by Jewish table tennis legend Marty Reisman, came away with three nominations for best lead actor, best screenplay and best movie.
The White Lotus led the TV categories with its six nominations. Adolescence followed with five noms, as did Only Murders in the Building and Severance with four apiece. Season two of the extremely Jewish TV show Nobody Wants This totalled three nominations for lead actor, lead actress and best musical or comedy TV series.
If these categories seem a little light on Jews, that’s because the majority of the big Jewish machers were nominated in acting categories, showing up strong and hungry for Globes glory.
Among the contenders you’ll find Timothée Chalamet vying for best lead actor in a comedy for Marty Supreme, and Eva Victor scoring a milestone first-time noms in the dramatic film Sorry, Baby. There’s also Kate Hudson in the mix for her turn in Song Sung Blue, while heavyweights like Sean Penn and Adam Sandler are in the running for supporting film roles thanks to One Battle After Another and Jay Kelly, respectively.
Over on the small screen, you’ve got Noah Wyle with a nod for The Pitt, Natasha Lyonne for Poker Face, and both Adam Brody and Seth Rogen up for comedy series noms.
On the music/song front, there’s a shout-out for Mark Ronson for ‘Dream as One’ (from Avatar: Fire and Ash), plus double noms for veteran composer Stephen Schwartz for two tracks from Wicked: For Good.
And rounding things out: TV favourites like Rashida Jones, Jason Isaacs, and comedy legends like Bill Maher, Brett Goldstein, and Sarah Silverman have also made the cut.
Even Sarah Jessica Parker earns a nod, not for a performance, but a major honour: the Carol Burnett Award.
The Jewish stars are making a statement. From Oscar-bait films to edgy TV, Jewish creativity is everywhere this awards season.
So get your popcorn ready, it’s going to be a night full of glam, glitz, and mazal tovs.
