But, you know, that's proof that we don't know what the nominations are!"Skye P. Marshall added:"I love the festival season, and so a lot of the buzzworthy projects and creatives were already top on my list as far as my projections, because I am a fan. So when the Golden Globes called to ask me to actually say the nominee names on television, I was extremely nervous. I was terrified, but equally, I was excited to see if my projections panned out."She continued:"And I would say around 75% of them did… I just don't like not knowing people’s names. Because I value the breakthrough, I want to make sure I am saying Lee Byung-Hun properly and with confidence. Because I know his work, not just because I learned the pronunciation."Complete list of nominees at the Golden Globes 2026Best Motion Picture – DramaFrankenstein (Netflix)Hamnet (Focus Features)It Was Just an Accident (Neon)The Secret Agent (Neon)Sentimental Value (Neon)Sinners (Warner Bros.
