Everything You Need To Know About The 2026 Golden Globes

Following last week’s win at the Critics’ Choice Awards, Timothée Chalamet picked up another for his turn as table tennis prodigy Marty Mauser in Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme. Last year, the actor won a handful of awards for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, but lost out to The Brutalist’s Adrien Brody at the Oscars. With two big wins under his belt so far this season, maybe 2026 will be his year.

The big film winner of the night was Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, the Leonardo DiCaprio-starring film about a paranoid revolutionary whose daughter goes missing. The ceremony kicked off with Teyana Taylor winning Best Supporting Actress, Motion Picture, followed by PTA’s personal wins for Best Director and Best Screenplay. The film topped its successful night by taking home the Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy award. Sinners was another success story. Ryan Coogler’s Jim Crow-era vampire film won the recently added Box Office Achievement award, as well as Best Score (we were disappointed it missed out on Best Original Song for ‘I Lied To You’).

Elsewhere in the film categories, Jessie Buckley won Best Actress, Motion Picture, Drama for her role in Chloe Zhao’s new film Hamnet, the adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s award-winning novel about William Shakespeare and his wife, Anne. The film also won Best Motion Picture, Drama. Brazilian thriller The Secret Agent won Best Non-English Language Picture, as well as Best Actor, Motion Picture, Drama for its star Wagner Moura. In supporting categories, Rose Byrne won Best Actress, Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy for If I Had Legs, I’d Kick You and Stellan Skarsgård took home the award for Best Supporting Actor, Motion Picture for Sentimental Value.

British Netflix four-part drama Adolescence was the TV star of the night. Following its sweeps at the Emmys and Critics’ Choice Awards, last night the team also added Best Limited Series, Best Actor Limited Series for Stephen Graham, Best Supporting Actress Limited Series for Erin Doherty and Best Supporting Actor Limited Series for Owen Cooper to the trophy cabinet. His win last night made 16-year-old Cooper the youngest actor ever to win a Golden Globe, Emmy and Critics' Choice awards back-to-back in a full sweep. We can already see those Bafta wins lining up…

On the TV side of the awards show, The Pitt had a great evening. While series two started in the US last week, we still haven’t got access to the award-winning series one over in the UK – but we’re hoping that will change soon. Set in an emergency room, The Pitt is a realistic examination of the challenges facing healthcare workers in today’s America as seen through the lens of the frontline heroes working in a modern-day hospital. Each episode follows an hour of Dr Robby’s (Noah Wyle) 15-hour shift as the chief attendant in Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital’s emergency room. Last night, Wyle won Best Actor, TV Drama to add to his best actor awards from the Emmys and Critics’ Choice Awards – and the show also took home Best TV Series, Drama.

Elsewhere, Apple TV comedy The Studio rightfully won Best TV Series, Musical or Comedy – usurping The Bear, which went home empty-handed for the first time in years. Its creator, Seth Rogen, also won Best Actor, TV Musical or Comedy for his starring role as a hapless film studio boss. Apple TV picked up another award for its latest series, Pluribus. Created by Vince Gilligan of Breaking Bad, the show follows Carol, one of the last people on earth not infected by a happiness virus, as she grapples with the new world order. Its star, Rhea Seehorn, took home the gong for Best Actress, TV Drama, beating Bella Ramsey for The Last of Us and Britt Lower for Severance. Jean Smart won yet another well-deserved award for her role as ageing comedian Deborah Vance in comedy Hacks; Amy Poehler picked up the win for Best Podcast for Good Hang With Amy Poehler, beating Call Her Daddy and The Mel Robbins Podcast; and finally, Ricky Gervais won Best Standup for Ricky Gervais: Mortality.
