The 83rd Golden Globes awards, held on January 11th, 2026 at the iconic Beverly Hilton, officially kicked off the awards season with a blend of high-stakes drama and sharp-witted comedy. Hosted for the second consecutive year by comedian Nikki Glaser, the evening was marked by historic wins for international cinema, a “clean sweep” by new television series, and a red carpet that was bold with dark elegance. 

In the film categories, Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” emerged as the night’s star, securing four awards including Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. Anderson took home trophies for both Director and Screenplay, while Teyana Taylor delivered the evening’s most emotional moment, winning Best Supporting Actress and dedicating her win to “little brown girls watching tonight.”

The Drama categories saw “Hamnet,” Chloe Zhao’s take on Shakespearean tragedy, take the top prize for Best Motion Picture – Drama. Its lead, Jessie Buckley, won Best Actress in a Drama, beating out other notable names like Julia Roberts and Jennifer Lawrence.

The television side of the ballroom was dominated by newcomers, “The Pitt,” HBO’s hospital drama, won Best Drama Series, with its lead Noah Wyle winning Best Actor – a full circle moment for the former ER star. Apple TV+ also had a successful night with its new show “The Studio” winning Best Comedy Series, and creator/star Seth Rogen beat out legends like Steve Martin and Martin Short for Best Actor.
