Pluribus Nominated For Golden Globes: Can It Redeem Better Call Saul’s Snub?

Award season is here, and the nominations for the Golden Globes in 2026 are out! This gives Vince Gilligan, creator of critically acclaimed shows like Pluribus and Better Call Saul, a chance to finally get recognition for Better Call Saul, which many felt was overlooked in the past. Gilligan’s shows have consistently been praised by critics for the last twenty years.

During its run, Breaking Bad received seven Golden Globe nominations and won two awards. Its spin-off, Better Call Saul, was nominated six times but never won. Now, fans are hoping Vince Gilligan’s new show, Pluribus, will finally bring him the Golden Globe recognition he deserves.

Pluribus’ Awards Season Has Begun

Awards season is underway, and Pluribus has received two Golden Globe nominations for 2026. The show is up for Best TV Series, Drama, and Rhea Seehorn has been nominated for Best Female Actor in a TV Series, Drama.

Everyone involved with Pluribus is hoping for a lot of recognition, and a nomination for a major award would make it much harder for the show to be canceled. Creator Gilligan is familiar with awards season, and as the final episode of the season nears, the show’s potential for winning awards is likely to be a major topic of discussion.

Rhea Seehorn Is Already An Emmy Frontrunner

Rhea Seehorn is competing for an award against Kathy Bates (Matlock), Britt Lower (Severance), Helen Mirren (MobLand), Bella Ramsey (The Last of Us), and Keri Russell (The Diplomat). While all of these actresses gave fantastic performances, many believe Seehorn is the likely winner.

Seehorn’s performance as Carol Sturka is outstanding. She portrays a deeply sad character, even before the strange events begin, and skillfully balances that sorrow with moments of both humor and bravery.

Rhea Seehorn is now a strong contender for an Emmy Award. Her recent Golden Globe nomination significantly increases her chances of being nominated for the Emmys, which will be announced this summer. A Golden Globe win would almost certainly secure her an Emmy nomination.

Many believe Rhea Seehorn deserves major award recognition for her work on Better Call Saul, and a Golden Globe or Emmy win would finally right a wrong. Despite critical acclaim for her portrayal of Kim Wexler, she hasn’t yet received either award – she wasn’t even nominated for a Golden Globe and lost both times she was an Emmy nominee. Her new project, Pluribus, might be the opportunity for her to finally get the award she’s earned.
