The 83rd annual Golden Globes took place Sunday night, kicking off the 2026 awards season in earnest. While comedian Nikki Glaser returned after a successful first year hosting, this year the Globes shook things up a bit. Not only did the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) announce their picks for the best in television and film, but they added podcasting to the mix, acknowledging the major growth of that medium. They also handed out two big awards the night before the big show in a separate ceremony. During a new annual primetime special aptly named “Golden Eve,” the HFPA honored Helen Mirren and Sarah Jessica Parker, with the Cecil B. DeMille and Carol Burnett awards, respectively.

Despite punting Dame Helen Mirren to the night before, the Beverly Hilton hotel was still packed with stars for the main event. In addition to nominees like Michael B. Jordan (Sinners), Timothée Chalamet (Marty Supreme), and Jessie Buckley (Hamnet), presenters included George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Miley Cyrus, Charli XCX, Orlando Bloom, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Queen Latifah, Regina Hall, and Zoë Kravitz. (Who, of course, referenced her Golden Globes episode in Best TV Series nominee The Studio alongside costar Dave Franco.) Even more exciting, Heated Rivalry breakouts Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams were on hand for all hockey jokes.
One Battle After Another emerged as awards’ season’s movie frontrunner with four awards, while Adolescence came out on top for television with the same number. Top acting awards were spread among many films, including The Secret Agent (Wagner Moura), Hamnet (Jessie Buckley), Sentimental Value (Stellan Skarsgard) and Marty Supreme (Timothée Chalamet), while TV winners included Pluribus’ Rhea Seehorn, The Studio‘s Seth Rogen, and The Pitt‘s Noah Wyle.
