USA

- Best Performance in a Drama

Adapted from Liz Moore’s bestselling novel, Long Bright River is a riveting portrait of family and resilience set against the backdrop of Philadelphia’s opioid crisis. Amanda Seyfried, who received a 2026 Golden Globe Award nomination for her performance, anchors the series with a performance critics have called “nuanced and riveting” (RogerEbert.com), bringing both vulnerability and strength to the role of Mickey Fitzpatrick, a police officer searching for her missing sister while confronting painful family history. The show has been celebrated for its atmospheric realism, its empathetic handling of addiction, and its ability to blend a tense mystery with an intimate family story. As The Guardian proclaimed, “Seyfried’s performance elevates the series into something quietly powerful and deeply affecting.”
