There are many reasons why music is considered the greatest art form. It’s incredibly diverse in sound, and it has the power to evoke a wide range of emotions – from happiness to sadness, and everything in between. What’s more, music enhances other art forms, making them even more impactful.
As a huge fan of TV, movies, and streaming, I honestly can’t imagine them without music! It just makes everything so much better. Think about it – how strange would a show or film be if it was totally silent? The music isn’t always something you consciously notice, but it’s definitely working hard to create the right feeling for each scene.
The foreign press revealed the 2026 Golden Globe nominations on Monday, and here’s a look at the songs and scores that made the list.
2026 Golden Globes nominees in the music categories
Best Original Song – Motion Picture
- “Dream as One” ––Avatar: Fire and Ash; Music by: Miley Cyrus, Andrew Wyatt, Mark Ronson, Simon Franglen; Lyrics by: Miley Cyrus, Andrew Wyatt, Mark Ronson, Simon Franglen
- “Golden” ––Kpop Demon Hunters; Music by: Joong Gyu Kwak, Yu Han Lee, Hee Dong Nam, Jeong Hoon Seo, Park Hong Jun; Lyrics by: Kim Eun-Jae (Ejae), Mark Sonnenblick
- “I Lied To You” ––Sinners; Music by: Raphael Saadiq, Ludwig Göransson; Lyrics by: Raphael Saadiq, Ludwig Göransson
- “No Place Like Home” ––Wicked: For Good; Music by: Stephen Schwartz, Lyrics by: Stephen Schwartz
- “The Girl in the Bubble” ––Wicked: For Good; Music by: Stephen Schwartz; Lyrics by: Stephen Schwartz
- “Train Dreams” ––Train Dreams; Music by: Nick Cave, Bryce Dessner; Lyrics by: Nick Cave
It’s possible the two songs from Wicked: For Good will divide the votes, potentially allowing someone else to win. But it’s rare to see such a diverse group of nominees – both Miley Cyrus and Nick Cave are up for the award! Thankfully, the international voters seem to have excellent taste.
Best Original Score – Motion Picture
- Alexandre Desplat (Frankenstein)
- Ludwig Göransson (Sinners)
- Jonny Greenwood (One Battle After Another)
- Kangding Ray (Sirāt)
- Max Richter (Hamnet)
- Hans Zimmer (F1)
Hans Zimmer has been nominated for a Golden Globe 16 times, but has only won three. It would be particularly noteworthy if Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead won for composing the music for the film expected to win Best Picture at the Oscars – he’s certainly deserving of the award.
The 2026 Golden Globes ceremony will take place on Sunday, January 11th, starting at 8 p.m. Eastern Time. You can tune in to watch on CBS or stream it live on Paramount+. Comedian Nikki Glaser is hosting the show.
