The Golden Globe nominations are out, and several of this year’s highest-profile blockbusters were nowhere to be seen.
James Gunn’s Superman didn’t make the list, despite being the #3 domestic film of 2025. Variety is already calling it a “snub.” WB also submitted it for contention, but it failed to be nominated.
Marvel was shut out as well. Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts, and Fantastic Four—all marketed as course-corrections for the MCU—failed to land a single nomination.
The top domestic box office performers also didn’t earn recognition. Minecraft (#1), Lilo & Stitch (#2), Superman (#3), and Jurassic World: Rebirth (#4) were completely absent.
Globe voters favored prestige dramas, international features, and art-house projects instead of major studio tentpoles. At #5 on the box office domestic charts is Wicked: For Good, which received nominations, and at #6 is Sinners.
Worth a mention is that WBD also launched Oscar campaigns for Superman, Minecraft and more.
The 83rd Annual Golden Globes will air live on Sunday, January 11, 2026 (8:00–11:00 PM ET / 5:00–8:00 PM PT) on the CBS Television Network and stream on Paramount+ in the U.S.
