Apple TV receives 14 nominations at the 2026 Golden Globes Apfelpatient

Apple TV is heading into the 2026 Golden Globes with a significant advantage. It has a total of 14 nominations, including several in the two most important TV categories. The current awards season demonstrates how strongly Apple TV has positioned itself in the television market and how significant the influence of its own productions has become.

The 83rd Golden Globes will be awarded on January 11th. It's already clear that Apple TV is among the leading providers this year. Its presence in the two most prestigious categories for TV series—Best Drama Series and Best Musical or Comedy Series—is particularly striking. Within just a few years, the service has become a fixture on the international awards scene. This year's nominations demonstrate Apple TV's consistent focus on high-quality content.

Apple TV leads the pack with 14 nominations

A total of 14 nominations is a remarkable achievement for a relatively young streaming service. Most of these nominations are for series that have generated significant discussion in recent months and garnered attention from both critics and audiences. Particularly noteworthy is Apple TV's three out of six nominations in the Best Television Series – Drama category. This gives the service 50 percent of all available nominations in this category.

Best TV series – Drama

The full list of nominees showcases a wide range of productions from various providers. The fact that Apple TV is represented with three titles speaks to the depth of its current programming. The nominees are:

The Diplomat (Netflix)
The Pitt (HBO Max)
Pluribus (Apple TV)
Severance (Apple TV)
Slow Horses (Apple TV)
The White Lotus (HBO Max)

Severance was considered a favorite last year and is once again among the strongest contenders. Pluribus, another major Apple production, is also in the running, broadening the competition. Slow Horses is also nominated and is one of the service's consistently successful shows. The main competition comes from The Pitt, which has already achieved strong results at other awards.

Best TV series – musical or comedy

Apple TV is also represented in the comedy category. The series "The Studio" has a good chance of winning, having already won Best Comedy at the Emmys. The nominees are:

Abbott Elementary (ABC)
The Bear (FX on Hulu)
Hacks (HBO Max)
Nobody Wants This (Netflix)
Only Murders in the Building (Hulu)
The Studio (Apple TV)

The Emmy win has given "The Studio" additional attention, making the series a favorite at the Golden Globes.

Many acting nominations for Apple TV

In addition to the series themselves, several actors from Apple productions were also nominated. These include:

Rhea Seehorn for Pluribus
Adam Scott for Severance
Britt Lower for Severance
Tramell Tillman for Severance

The sheer number of acting performances shows that Apple TV impresses not only with its content, but also with its strong cast.

Other nominations: F1 The Movie

Apple TV isn't just represented in the series category. "F1 The Movie," which premieres on Apple TV this week, has also been nominated. The film is competing in two categories:

Cinematic and Box Office Achievement
Original Score

With this move, Apple expands its presence at the Golden Globes to include the film sector and further strengthens its own offering.

Apple TV as a streaming service

The service costs €9.99 per month and includes a growing selection of high-quality series and films. Popular titles include Ted Lasso, Severance, Pluribus, and Slow Horses. Apple TV is also available through the Apple One bundle and is aimed at users who value exclusive productions and a clear content focus.

Apple TV enters awards season with strong chances

The 2026 Golden Globe nominations highlight Apple TV's strong position in the current awards season. With 14 nominations, multiple favorites in the major categories, and an increasingly broad selection of successful productions, the service demonstrates its status as one of the leading platforms in the television and film industry. The chances of winning multiple awards are high, and the awards ceremony in January is likely to be one of the most important events of the year for Apple TV. (Image: Apple)
