The 83rd Golden Globe Awards ceremony, held on Sunday, January 12, 2026, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, was a night of glamour, sharp humour, and significant victories for the year's best in film and television.
A Night of Big Wins and Bold Humour
The event kicked off with a cutting monologue from American comedian Nikki Glaser. She did not hold back, making pointed jokes about celebrities potentially appearing in the recently released Epstein Files and also taking a swipe at CBS for editing a critical segment on "60 Minutes." The ceremony then moved to honouring the outstanding achievements of the past year.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s film "One Battle After Another" and Netflix's limited series "Adolescence" emerged as the night's biggest champions, each securing four Golden Globe awards. Anderson's comedy, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, claimed the top prize for Best Picture, Musical or Comedy. Meanwhile, the dramatic film "Hamnet" won the coveted award for Best Picture, Drama.
Major Category Highlights and Career Milestones
A number of other productions also enjoyed multiple victories. Apple TV’s "The Studio," HBO’s "The Pitt," the animated hit "KPop Demon Hunters," "Sinners," and "The Secret Agent" all took home two awards each.
The night marked a major career milestone for actress and singer Teyana Taylor. She won her first-ever Golden Globe, taking home the award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in "One Battle After Another." This victory is a significant highlight in her flourishing career.
