Another Golden Globe Awards ceremony has come and past. Ricky Gervais loaded up on the burns, Ellen Degeneres and Tom Hanks received honorary awards, and 1917 walked away with the coveted Best Picture title. Because there have been tons of actors honored over the years, we thought it was time to look back on which of them have received the most nominations in Golden Globes history.

While TV actors are also important to the ceremony, we will be focusing exclusively on film actors here. Additionally, while we might be mentioning some of these actors’ work on television, we will only be tallying their nominations for motion pictures.

Before we get started, here’s a shout-out to the film actors who we don’t have room for on this list (though they do have 10 film nominations) including Jane Fonda, Kate Winslet, and Johnny Depp. With that out of the way, it’s time to blast through movie past; Here are the actors with the most Golden Globe film nominations.

Cate Blanchett (10)

Though Australian-American actress Cate Blanchett started receiving Golden Globe nominations in 1998, she’s continuing to pick up recognition during award season. Most recently, Blanchett received a nomination for her performance in Where’d You Go, Bernadette in 2019, a comedy-drama about a reclusive architect who disappears right before her family’s getaway to Antarctica.

Blanchett has won three awards for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress; one for biographical drama Elizabeth in 1998, another for the musical I’m Not There in 2007, and, most recently, one for the black comedy Blue Jasmine in 2013.

Tom Hanks (10)

While Tom Hanks was just honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award for his lifelong contributions to entertainment, he received many other Golden Globe noms before then.

At the 2020 award ceremony, Hanks was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in the Fred Rogers drama, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. While he didn’t bring home a trophy, he did in 1989 for Big, in 1994 for Philadelphia, in 1995 for Forrest Gump, and in 2001 for Cast Away.

Nicole Kidman (11)

Nicole Kidman is also deep into the award show world, receiving 11 film nominations and an additional three TV noms over her career. Kidman was first nominated as a supporting actress for her work in the 91 gangster film Billy Bathgate. She ended up picking up her first of four wins for her starring performance in the criminal mockumentary drama To Die For.

Kidman’s last win was in 2018 for her performance in the HBO two-season series Big Little Lies. Though she lost to Olivia Colman for her performance The Crown, Kidman still received a 2020 Big Littles Lies nomination.

Dustin Hoffman (11)

Though now 82-year-old Dustin Hoffman hasn’t received a nomination since his performance in romantic drama Last Chance Harvey in 2009, he remains one of the most nominated Golden Globes actors in history. He’s also received many awards between the years of 1968 and 1989, in addition to the Cecil B. DeMille honor.

Hoffman was first handed a Most Promising Newcomer Globe for his starring performance in cult classic The Graduate. He later picked up awards for his roles in Kramer vs. Kramer, Tootsie, Death of a Salesman, and Rain Man.

Leonardo DiCaprio (12)

While it took a while for DiCaprio to receive an Oscar, his first Golden Globe win came in 2005 for his performance in The Aviator. He also picked up Best Actor awards in 2014 for his role in The Wolf of Wall Street and in 2016 for his performance in The Revenant.

DiCaprio has scored a total of 9 nominations outside of his wins. His first nom came in 1994 for What’s Eating Gilbert Grape (which is not available on Netflix) and his most recent nomination came at the 2020 ceremony for his starring role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Al Pacino (15)

Though Al Pacino remains one of the most nominated actors of all time, he’s received only two awards in the film categories. Pacino took home a shiny trophy for his work in drama films Serpico in 1974 and Scent of a Woman in 1993. He later took home two awards in the Best Actor in a Miniseries or Motion Picture – Television category for his performances in HBO’s Angels in America and You Don’t Know Jack.

Shirley MacLaine (15)

Shirley MacLaine’s acting career kicked off in 1953 and has continued through the present-day. Because of this, she’s managed to sweep up a bunch of Golden Globe nominations in addition to the Cecil B. Demille honor in 1998.

MacLaine won the New Star of the Year award in 1955 for her leading role in the Alfred Hitchcock film The Trouble With Harry. She continued to score big by taking home Best Performance awards in 1961’s The Apartment, 1964’s Irma La Douce, 1984’s Terms of Endearment, 1989’s and Madame Sousatzka.

Jack Lemmon (16)

Jack Lemmon also managed to take home his fair share awards over his 76 years of life. The classic actor scored his first award in 1960 for his performance in Some Like It Hot. He copied his co-star MacLaine by taking an award for The Apartment in 1961 (and later the Cecil B. Demille honor), additionally winning in 1973 for Avanti!, and continuing to score nominations through the following decades.

Lemmon received his final Golden Globe a year before his death, in 2000. It was for his leading role in the Showtime TV film Inherit the Wind.

Jack Nicholson (17)

Jack Nicholson remains the most-nominated male movie star of all time at the Golden Globes. Nicholson kicked things off with a nomination for Easy Rider in 1970. In 1975, he picked up his first win for Chinatown. He also received Best Actor wins the following year for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, in 1984 for Terms of Endearment, in 1986 for Prizzi’s Honor, in 1998 for As Good as It Gets, and in 2003 for About Schmidt. His last nom was for his supporting role in The Departed in 2007.

Meryl Streep (29)

Meryl Streep remains not only the most nominated actress of all time at the Golden Globes but also the biggest winner.

Streep’s first nomination came in 1979 for her supporting role in the epic war drama The Deer Hunter. A year later, she won her first Golden Globe for her performance in the legal drama Kramer vs. Kramer. She later picked up wins for The French Lieutenant’s Woman, Sophie’s Choice, Adaption, Angels in America, The Devil Wears Prada, Julie & Julia, and The Iron Lady. She was also honored for her impact on culture with the Cecil B. DeMille Award in 2017.

At the most recent ceremony, Streep was up for Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Miniseries or Television Film for her performance in Season 2 of the HBO drama Big Little Lies. We doubt her nominations will be stopping anytime soon.
