"It's been said that Hugh Jackman isn't the type of actor who will ever win an Academy Award. With his Broadway showman persona, he's more of a Golden Globes guy, and he's been nominated for a Golden Globe five times, winning once in 2012 for starring in the film adaptation of the hit musical, Les Miserables. But this week, Jackman was listed among the notable snubs when the 2026 Golden Globe Awards nominations were announced."
"Jackman's snub has really stood out because he's been getting rave reviews for the musical drama Song Sung Blue. He co-stars with Kate Hudson as a Vietnam vet and recovering addict who finds love and a new purpose in life by leading a Neil Diamond tribute band. As Jackman's romantic interest, Hudson scored a nomination, for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy."
"Speaking on The Nerve podcast Thursday with Maureen Callahan, Shuter agreed that Jackman has become a somewhat scandalized figure in the past year, first because he left his long-time wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, 70, for Sutton Foster, a younger actress, and then because of his friendship with Hollywood super couple Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, which briefly thrust him into the middle of Lively's legal drama with Justin Baldoni."
Hugh Jackman did not receive a 2026 Golden Globe nomination despite strong critical praise for Song Sung Blue. He has five Golden Globe nominations and won once in 2012 for Les Miserables. Song Sung Blue pairs Jackman with Kate Hudson; Jackman plays a Vietnam vet and recovering addict who rediscovers purpose by leading a Neil Diamond tribute band, while Hudson earned a nomination for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. The male acting category is crowded this year, and commentators have linked recent personal controversies to potential impacts on Jackman's awards prospects.
