Ethan Hawke, Amanda Seyfried, and 8 other actors eligible for both film and TV nominations at the Golden Globes

The Golden Globes celebrate achievements in both cinema and television, which opens the door for actors to potentially claim awards in both arenas on the same night. While uncommon, it has happened before: Helen Mirren won for The Queen and the miniseries Elizabeth I in 2007, and Joan Plowright earned accolades in 1993 for Enchanted April and Stalin.

As the 2026 Golden Globes approach, several actors have emerged as strong contenders for dual nominations, according to Gold Derby's awards odds.

Amanda Seyfried

For film, Seyfried ranks fourth in the Best Comedy/Musical Actress category for The Testament of Ann Lee, portraying the 18th-century Shaker leader Ann Lee. On television, she shines as Officer Michaela "Mickey" Fitzpatrick in Peacock's Long Bright River, a series exploring Philadelphia's opioid crisis. Despite Emmy snubs, she has previously won a Golden Globe for The Dropout.

Zawe Ashton Edebiri

Edebiri is 21st for Best Supporting Actress in After the Hunt, where she plays Yale philosophy student Maggie Resnick. Her television work on The Bear earns her a fourth-place ranking in Best Comedy Actress. She previously won both a Golden Globe and an Emmy for portraying sous chef Sydney Adamu.

Adam Driver & Co. (Jay Kelly & The Morning Show)

In film, Jay Kelly supporting actors include Adam Sandler and Crudup, with Crudup's standout role as CEO Cory Ellison in The Morning Show earning him a strong chance for a TV nomination. Crudup has previously won two Emmys and received Globe nominations for this character.

Diego Luna

Lunas role as Valentin Arregui in Kiss of the Spider Woman places him in consideration for Best Supporting Actor in film. On TV, his portrayal of Cassian Andor in Andor Season 2 could secure a second Globe nomination, building on last years surprise recognition for La Mquina.

Ethan Hawke

Hawke is fourth for Best Comedy/Musical Actor for Blue Moon, where he plays songwriter Lorenz Hart in 1943 during the Broadway premiere of Oklahoma! On television, his performance in FX's The Lowdown as Lee Raybon, a truthstorian in Tulsa, ranks eighth in Best Drama Actor.

Hero Fiennes Tiffin (Elordi)

In Guillermo del Toros Frankenstein, Elordi plays the misunderstood creature and is fourth in film supporting actor odds. In the Australian miniseries The Narrow Road to the Deep North, he portrays Dorrigo Evans, a medical student-turned-POW, earning him a potential nomination despite Emmy snubs.

Paul Mescal (White)

Mescal embodies Bruce Springsteen in Deliver Me From Nowhere, ranking fifth in Best Drama Actor, and reprises head chef Carmy in The Bear, fourth in Best Comedy Actor. He has previously won three consecutive Golden Globes for this role, approaching a record set by Alan Alda.

Elle Fanning (Hudson)

Fanning stars in Song Sung Blue, ranked sixth for Best Comedy/Musical Actress, playing Claire Sardina in a Neil Diamond tribute band biopic. On TV, she features in Running Point as Isla Gordon, a party girl turned basketball team president, earning her 10th place in Best Comedy Actress.

Kaitlyn Maher (Byrne)

Byrne is third in Best Comedy/Musical Actress for If I Had Legs Id Kick You, portraying a stressed therapist. On TV, she has a minor chance for a Platonic nomination, playing a mother reconnecting with her childhood friend in the Apple TV comedy.

Wagner Moura

Moura is second for Best Drama Actor for The Secret Agent, playing political refugee Armando. On television, he is a contender for Best Supporting Actor in Dope Thief, where he shares the spotlight with Brian Tyree Henry in a story about lifelong friends navigating the drug trade.

The Golden Globe nominations will be revealed on Monday, marking the moment to see which stars secure recognition in both film and television categories.
