Golden Globes 2026: Everything you missed from this year's awards show

In a recap news release after the show wrapped, the team behind the Globes said 11 actors and 1 director took home their very first statuette. Read the full list below:

• Amy Poehler
• Erin Doherty 
• Jessie Buckley 
• Noah Wyle 
• Owen Cooper 
• Paul Thomas Anderson 
• Rhea Seehorn
• Rose Byrne 
• Seth Rogen
• Stephen Graham 
• Teyana Taylor 
• Timothée Chalamet 
• Wagner Moura 

Here are the biggest highlights from tonight's show.

Warner Bros. Discovery, which is behind Warner Bros. Pictures and HBO Max, led the night with nine total wins, thanks to "One Battle After Another," "Sinners," "The Pitt" and "Hacks."

With "Adolescence" and "Kpop Demon Hunters," Netflix followed with six total wins for the studio.

Apple TV+ racked up three wins with hit comedy "The Studio," and drama "Pluribus."

Neon, the studio behind "Sentimental Value" and "The Secret Agent," both international pictures, won three awards as well.

Thanks to acting wins for "Marty Supreme" and "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You," A24 scored two wins.

"Hamnet," from Focus Features, also scored two wins, tying NBCUniversal with A24.

Here's a tally of how many shows and movies took home multiple awards.

• "Adolescence": 4 
• "One Battle After Another": 4 
• "The Studio": 2
• "Kpop Demon Hunters": 2 
• "Sinners": 2 
• "The Pitt": 2 
• "The Secret Agent": 2 
• "Hamnet": 2

In the closing moments of the ceremony, Glaser appeared onstage in a "Spinal Tap" hat, a tribute to the movie's director, Rob Reiner, who died last month.

"This one went to 11," Glaser said, nodding to one of the music mockumentary's famous lines of dialogue.

Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Ringer, were found fatally stabbed in their homes in Los Angeles on Dec. 14. Their son Nick Reiner has been charged in their killings.

The ceremony does not always feature an In Memoriam segment.

"Hamnet" just won the final award of the night — best drama film — and director Chloe Zhao seemed visibly awestruck.

In her acceptance speech, Zhao recognized the "Hamnet" crew members who lost loved ones during the film's production. ("Hamnet" was distributed by Focus Features, a unit of NBC News' parent company, NBCUniversal.)

Zhao is already a Globe and Oscar winner for the Covid-era road movie "Nomadland," which also won the Academy Award for best picture in 2021.

"Hamnet"

Paul Thomas Anderson's thriller about political revolutionaries on the run scooped up a commanding four awards tonight, including best musical/comedy film, positioning it for a good night at the Academy Awards in March.

What happened tonight is something like a coronation for Anderson, a filmmaker revered by cinephiles around the world for modern masterworks like "Boogie Nights" and "There Will Be Blood."

"One Battle After Another"

Julia Roberts, aka Hollywood's favorite leading lady, introduced the best motion picture (musical or drama) category and received a standing ovation from the entire room.

"I'm going to be impossible for at least a week," she joked after receiving the applause.

"The Secret Agent" star Wagner Moura, accepting the award for best actor in a drama film, reflected on the film's themes and dedicated the prize to people "sticking to their values in difficult moments."

He said the movie is about "memory, or the lack of memory, and generational trauma. I think that if trauma can be passed along the generations, values can, too," Moura said.

In the film, Moura plays a principled scientific researcher who is forced to go on the run after offending a businessman aligned with Brazil's military dictatorship in the 1970s.

During Buckley's heartfelt speech, she also garnered some laughs for thanking the grip on set for making a delicious soup during filming, fan-girling over fellow nominee Julia Roberts and giving a shoutout to her husband, who she said was enjoying all the free drinks and canapés tonight.

She is on track to pick up an Oscar nod, and win, for her role as Agnes, William Shakespeare's grieving wife.

"The Studio"

Picking up its fourth win of the night — the most of any show or movie so far — “Adolescence” is looking likely to sweep the Golden Globes just like it did the Emmys.

“Some think our show is about how we should be frightened of young people. It’s not. It’s about the filth and the debris we have laid in their path,” writer Jack Thorne said onstage, adding, “Removing hate is our generation’s responsibility. It requires thought from the top down. The possibility seems remote right now, but hope is a beautiful thing.”

"Adolescence"

That means this awards show will almost certainly run a little over.

In his acceptance speech, “The Pitt” creator R. Scott Gemmill thanked first responders and health care workers, who he said “are the real heroes who inspire us.”

“We live in a very divided country and world right now, but I think cinema — and I call TV cinema, too, I’m sorry — brings us all together, not only as an audience, but as a community,” Gemmill said.

This was the show's second win of the night, the first going to actor Noah Wyle for his role as Dr. Robby.

"The White Lotus" went into the tonight with a leading six nominations for its third season.

But now that all the drama series awards have been handed out, it's clear that the buzzy anthology series from Mike White won't have any souvenirs from this year's edition of the Globes.

It's always fun to see who’s having a cozy chat during the commercials.

I spotted Parker Posey and Kieran Culkin; Dwayne Johnson and Steven Spielberg; and Ethan Hawke and Sterling K. Brown.

I also watched Kylie Jenner and Odessa A’zion (who co-stars with Jenner's partner Timothée Chalamet in “Marty Supreme") head off arm in arm.

Fresh off of Season One of "Pluribus," Rhea Seehorn is already proving her worth in Hollywood.

She won her first Golden Globe tonight for the role that showrunner Vince Gilligan wrote specifically for her.

"Pluribus," a sci-fi drama from Apple TV, exploded in popularity at the end of last year, gaining tons of attention from online theorists.

Ricky Gervais wasn't on hand to accept his Globe.

But Wanda Sykes, who presented the category, said she was hoping he'd win because that meant she'd get to give a speech on his behalf and make him thank God and the trans community.

And when she opened the envelope and announced Gervais as the winner she did exactly that: "Ricky Gervais would like to thank God and the trans community.”

Mass psychosis in real time. Some highlights:

"omg omg omg omgomgalgjalseigaljfa"

"ive been WAITING all night for this"

"the wink im deceased"

"i am fhjesdkfhjadks"

"the chemistry is crazy"

"“hi moms.” “hi daughters.”"

"it’s me, i’m the daughter"

"i wonder how it feels for her to live my dream (not winning a globe but standing next to hudcon)"

“Ricky Gervais: Mortality”

The "Heated Rivalry" duo are so big right now the Globes announcers joked that they tapped extra security to come up with them as they presented the award for best performance by a female actor in a supporting role on television.

After UFC members came onstage, "Pink Pony Club" began playing as the "Heated Rivalry" boys, AKA the internet's sweethearts, walked onstage.

Kleber Mendonça Filho, the director of the Brazilian political drama "The Secret Agent," dedicated the award for best non-English language film to the next generation of cinematic artists.

Filho said it is "a very important moment in time to be making films — here in the U.S., [and] in Brazil."

"The Secret Agent" is set in the 1970s, when Brazil was under a dictatorial regime, and stars Wagner Moura as a scientific researcher forced to go on the run after he offends a government-aligned businessman.

During a recent commercial break, a camera operator tapped on Dwayne Johnson’s shoulder three times to get him to sit down seconds before the commercial break ended.

To be fair, it’s impossible to shoot around "The Smashing Machine" star's shoulders.

“KPop Demon Hunters” director Maggie Kang thanked “everyone who believed that a movie so deeply rooted in Korean culture could resonate with a global audience.”

“Through this film, we really wanted to depict female characters the way that we know women, which is really strong and bold, really silly and weird and really hungry for food and sometimes a little thirsty,” Kang said.

This is the animated film’s second win of the night, positioning it well for this year’s Grammy and Academy awards.

Her co-director, Chris Appelhans, added that the film is a “love letter to music, to the power it has to connect us, to make us see some kind of shared humanity, which we could use in the world these days.”

“KPop Demon Hunters”

Anderson, accepting the Globe for best director, paid tribute to Michael De Luca, the co-chairperson and chief executive of Warner Bros. Pictures, the studio behind "One Battle After Another." Anderson and De Luca have a long history together. De Luca championed and released two of Anderson's early films, "Boogie Nights" and "Magnolia," when he was president of New Line Cinema.

If you're keeping track at home: "One Battle After Another" has won three awards so far tonight — best director, best screenplay and best supporting actress.

Judd Apatow said the host used to babysit for his kids. That was until he saw some of her comedy.

Apatow, giving something of a stand-up set, said he has been boycotting the Globes. "I’ve had a beef since my film 'Trainwreck' lost best comedy to Ridley Scott’s 'The Martian,'" he joked.

The Golden Globes is airing real-time winner forecasts from the prediction market Polymarket, where users can gamble their money by betting on future events. The platform, which partnered with the awards show this year, has gained significant traction online in recent years.

"Isn't it spelled 'Hamlet'?"

Apparently a lot of people are confused that the movie is actually called "Hamnet" and it is not a remake of a Shakespeare play.

In the first Trump administration, Hollywood award shows were filled with political commentary, either in the form of the host's monologue jokes or earnest speeches. But tonight, the vibe is different.

Nikki Glaser made a brief mention of the Jeffrey Epstein files in her opening stand-up set, but otherwise she hasn't (so far) weighed in on national or international headlines. The same could be said of the presenters and winners.

Notably, stand-up comedian and actor Wanda Sydes is wearing a pin honoring Renee Good, the woman killed last week by an ICE officer in Minneapolis.

Ryan Coogler thanked audiences who showed up for "Sinners" in movie theaters. The big crowds in theaters nationwide helped turn the genre-bending horror tale into a monster-sized hit, with a worldwide gross of more than $368 million.

We've awarded 14 of 28 Golden Globes so far tonight, and the show appears to be running only a few minutes behind schedule. Maybe we will get out of here on time ...

The first-time Golden Globe winner was congratulated by fellow stars as he headed to the press room.

Kathryn Hahn and Melissa McCarthy had no problem poking fun at the men in the room, who are always up for awards.

Chalamet is going public with his romance with Kylie Jenner two awards shows in a row now, calling out his "partner" in both winning speeches.

The casual moviegoers in the audience may not recognize their names, but Mary and Ronald Bronstein are all over tonight's ceremony.

Mary Bronstein is the writer and director if "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You," a frenetic dark comedy about the struggles of a single mother. Rose Byrne, the movie's lead, just won best actress in a musical/comedy.

Ronald Bronstein, an accomplished independent filmmaker, co-wrote "Marty Supreme" with Josh Safdie, the film's director. Timothée Chalamet, accepting the award for best actor in a musical/comedy, gave a shoutout to "Ronny."

Rose Byrne appeared shocked while accepting the win.

She said that they shot the film in 25 days and also joked that she wanted to thank her parents for subscribing to Paramount+ so that they could watch her from Australia.

Paul Thomas Anderson, accepting the best screenplay Golden Globe for "One Battle After Another," paid tribute to some of the people who inspired his script — including singer-songwriter Nina Simone and author Thomas Pynchon, whose novel "Vineland" provided a narrative framework for "One Battle."

The award is Anderson's first win in the screenplay category at the Globes. He was previously nominated for "Licorice Pizza," a coming-of-age tale set in 1970s San Fernando Valley.

After she finished presenting, Charli XCX headed into the production room to see the tape.

With multiple movies in 2026, including "The Moment" premiering later this month at Sundance and the "Wuthering Heights" soundtrack, Charli is about to be in a lot more rooms like this one.

Macaulay Culkin returned to the Golden Globes after 35 years to present the best screenplay award. His brother Kieran took home an award at last year's show.

The "Home Alone" star said he's qualified to present the category because he's "been reading screenplays since I learned to read."

Glaser belted out a song set to the tune of “Golden” from “KPop Demon Hunters” with lyrics inspired by “Marty Supreme,” a movie about a table tennis champion.

But after a few seconds, “Marty Supreme” co-star Fran Drescher took the stage and told Glaser to cut it out. “You have to stop singing,” Drescher said. “Your voice is so annoying.”

Last year, Glaser did a similar musical number, briefly singing a song called “Pope-ular” that blended nominees “Conclave” and “Wicked.”

About an hour into the show, or a third, we're through nine of 28 total awards, or about a third.

Looks like CBS is doing well keeping this on time.

As “KPop Demon Hunters” dominated both the TV and music streaming charts last year, “Golden” became the first K-pop song by a female vocalist to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

“I worked tirelessly for years to fill one dream to be a K-pop idol. I was rejected and disappointed that my voice wasn’t good enough, so I leaned on songs and music to get through it. Now I’m here as a singer and songwriter,” Kim Eun-jae, who is known professionally as Ejae, said in her acceptance speech alongside Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami.

She added that it’s a dream come true to be part of a song that is helping other girls, other boys and everyone of all ages to get through their hardship and accept themselves.”

Spotted amid the show: Amanda Seyfried hitting the sushi table, Jesse Plemons and Kirsten Dunst hitting the coffee/tea bar and Emma Stone chatting up Disney President David Greenbaum.

Nobu also provided the delicious desserts tonight, which might be too beautiful to eat.

He just saved the world, and now he's presenting at the Golden Globes with Ms. Brat, Charli XCX.

The pair is presenting the award for best original song.

The first Golden Globe for podcasting went to the most traditional Hollywood star out of the nominees.

“I just want to say that I know I am new to this game. I have great respect for this form. I have great respect for all the people that I have nominated with; I’m big fans of all of you,” Amy Poehler said in her acceptance speech for “Good Hang.” “Except for NPR. Just a bunch of celebs phoning it in. So, try harder.”

It’s the category’s inaugural year and the first time a longtime Hollywood awards show has chosen to honor the popular medium. Notably, many of the biggest right-leaning podcasts didn’t make it onto the nominees list.

“Good Hang With Amy Poehler”

Continuing with the millennial faves playlist, Snoop Dogg took the stage while "Drop It Like It's Hot" played.

"Double G Golden Globes and you're with the D O double G," Snoop started.

“Before podcasts, I was what you all listened to driving around in your cars," he noted before presenting the award for best podcast. "To you podcasters: You all better hope I don’t get in that game.”

AMC Theatres fans are no doubt familiar with the video that opens every feature presentation: Nicole Kidman, coming in from the rain, waxing poetric about the theatrical experience.

Glaser poked fun at that advertising campaign with a short interstitial video about the experience of listening to podcasts in your car. The video ended with a cameo from podcast giant Marc Maron.

"The Studio," a Hollywood satire starring Seth Rogen as a beleaguered executive, set a whole episode at the Golden Globes. Rogen nodded to the life-imitating-art elephant in the room when he accepted the award for best actor in a comedy series, describing the experience as "so weird."

"We just pretended to do this, and now it's happening," Rogen said onstage.

No, the fictional Sal Saperstein (Ike Barinholtz) wasn't thanked.

Owen Cooper, looking taller (adolescent growth spurt, maybe?), is humbled to accept his first Golden Globe for “Adolescence.”

“I thought, you know, I might be OK, I might be awful. I never know,” said Cooper, who made his acting debut on the show. “So I took a risk, and I went to drama classes. I was the only boy there. It was embarrassing, but, you know, I got through it. And I’m still very much an apprentice. I’m still learning every day.”

This year, the Globes has tapped Variety's Marc Malkin and "Entertainment Tonight" host Kevin Frazier to give commentary throughout the show.

Sometimes it's hard to hear what they're saying, but other times you learn a fact or two.

It's safe to say Jean Smart is an awards season favorite. The star of the HBO Max show business satire has won more than a dozen major prizes for her performance as Deborah Vance, including four Emmys and three Globes.

“What can I say? I’m a greedy b----,” Smart started her speech.

She said she is one of the “luckiest people” in the entire industry — and took a minute to call out her “Hacks” co-star Hannah Einbinder.

Not sure if you can hear it at home, but the crowd in the bar is loud, very audible above speeches and presenters.

Noah Wyle, tonight's victor in the best drama series actor category, nabbed the equivalent honor at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards in September.

Tonight, Wyle edged out competition from the likes of Adam Scott ("Severance") and Diego Luna ("Andor").

In his speech he said he's "indebted to so many people."

“I was raised in a family that put a high priority on art. ... I’ve been supported by an incredible wife and three great children along the way.”

Skarsgård, accepting the best supporting actor trophy for "Sentimental Value," exhorted viewers to see films in brick-and-mortar movie theaters, which he described as an "extinguished species."

He called on moviegoers to "share the pulse" with others inside a theater, calling that experience "magic."

"Cinema should be seen in cinemas," Skarsgård said in closing, drawing applause from the crowd.

It was a pointed statement in part because Netflix, one of the dominant forces in modern entertainment, typically doesn't put movies in traditional theaters for significant periods of time.

Before the show began, I was pressed up against a potted olive tree as everyone entered the ballroom at once: George and Amal came down the stairs, Steven Spielberg glided through with Chloe Zhao, Mark Ruffalo chatted it up with Jean Smart, and Ariana Grande took her seat.

Rhea Seahorn arrived on the arm of her husband, who asked, “Can you tell us how to find table one?”

During the first commercial break, a good chunk of the audience heads to the bar. Spotted en route: Colman Domingo.

Accepting his award, Stellan Skarsgård said he wasn’t prepared for this because he thought he was “too old.” He went on to express appreciation for his wife.

“I’m not going to spend the next six minutes to thank everybody in the credits of the film. They know I love them," he said onstage. "I gotta thank my wife, Meagan Ann Everette Skarsgård.”

He also gave a shoutout to his children (without naming them), who helped him prep for his role as a "bad father."

The music between presenting and announcing winners must have been curated by a millennial (complimentary).

That means we saw Stellan Skarsgård walk up to accept his win as Usher's "Yeah" played. That's art.

"One Battle After Another" star Teyana Taylor broke down in tears accepting her first-ever Golden Globe for her supporting performance in Paul Thomas Anderson's "One Battle After Another."

She thanked her family, recognized the "One Battle" cast and crew, and paid tribute to "little brown girls watching tonight."

"We belong in every room we walk into, and our voices matter," Taylor said, drawing cheers from the crowd.

Taylor co-stars in "One Battle" as a left-wing political revolutionary forced to go into hiding after a fateful decision.

The atmosphere stayed lighthearted in the room as Nikki Glaser wrapped up an opening monologue filled with wisecracks that drew laughter and applause from her celeb targets without seeming to draw offense.

“I’m making jokes up here, but it is an absolute privilege to be in this room with you all. Yes, I’m your host, but I’m honestly such a massive fan,” Glaser said onstage. “Your work this year was innovative, it felt fearless, inspiring, and in some cases, downright Zootopian.”

The second-time host didn’t shy away from bold jabs tonight, poking fun at everything from the Warner Bros. bidding war to CBS — the very network she’s on — to the Justice Department.

Tonight’s well-received monologue follows the praise she received for her quips last year, when she made history for becoming the Globes’ first solo woman host.

Teyana Taylor, “One Battle After Another"

According to Nikki Glaser, it should have been called "Wicked: For Money," admitting she cried two hours into the movie when she realized she still had 45 minutes to go.

The audience has continued to applaud and laugh as host Nikki Glaser makes it through her monologue. She's playing well in the room.

The only joke that has seemed to flop so far was about the Warner Bros. sale.

Immediately after Glaser joked about the age of Leonardo DiCaprio's young girlfriend (again), she said what we were all thinking.

“I’m sorry I made that joke; it’s cheap,” Glaser admitted. “I tried not to, but we don’t know anything else about you, man. There’s nothing else. Open up.”

After joking that the room was filled not with A-listers but people who were on "A list that has been heavily redacted," referring to the Epstein files, Glaser took aim at the ... network she's currently on.

"And the award for the most editing goes to: CBS News," Glazer said, clarifying, "Yes, CBS News, America's newest place to see BS news."

"Good evening and welcome to the 83rd Golden Globes," she said. "Yes, the Golden Globes without a doubt the most important thing that’s happening in the world right now."

This breaking news reporter appreciates that level of sarcasm after a busy week.

The Golden Globes are starting from the Beverly Hilton.

Just days off of her hard launch with "partner of three years" Timothé Chalamet, Kylie Jenner isn't keeping any secrets when it comes to what she's up to.

Jenner, dripping in diamonds, is dressed kind of like the golden statuette that her boyfriend is poised to take home tonight. A skin-tight metallic gown with sparkling straps paired with a ponytail is sure to grab attention on the red carpet, whenever these two mega-celebs choose to arrive.

Also on the Golden Globes trend: Parker Posey, who is in a dark gold ruffled gown, paired with long black gloves.

"Sinners" star and Globes nominee Michael B. Jordan had a beautiful lady on his arm at the red carpet: his mother, Donna Jordan.

Donna said she hopes people know her son's "commitment and his dedication and persistence to his craft," adding, "I am very proud of that."

Jordan said after the ceremony that their plan is to enjoy the night and celebrate after the show "somewhere with food, somewhere with music."

All of the night's winners and presenters are also walking away with a luxury gift bag that's valued at nearly $1 million, according to a release from the Golden Globes.

The bags feature exclusive international travel experiences, a $445 skin care set and a host of very expensive bottles of liquor.

Recipients can "tailor selections to their personal interests," the release said.

Amanda Seyfried, nominated for best actress in a musical or comedy for her role as the lead in musical biopic "The Testament of Ann Lee," told E! that the movie "changed my life."

Her experience playing the 18th century founder of the Shakers was "heart-opening," she said. "I almost walk differently because of this movie."

Director Mona Fastvold described Seyfried as one of "my favorite human beings in life."

Jacob Elordi, Michael B. Jordan and Paul Mescal, all nominated in the acting categories tonight, graced us all with their presence on the red carpet. Elordi, who is among this year’s first-time nominees, is a contender for best actor in a supporting role (motion picture) for his role as the monster in Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein.” The “Euphoria” star is also nominated for best male actor (limited series/anthology series/motion picture made for television) for his portrayal of a medical student-turned-prisoner of war in “The Narrow Road to the Deep North.”

Jordan, who plays twins in Ryan Coogler's "Sinners," is up against Elordi's "Frankenstein" co-star Oscar Isaac for best actor (drama).

Mescal, who has been an internet darling since the release of the TV show "Normal People," is nominated for best supporting actor alongside Elordi for "Hamnet."

It seems Ariana Grande, nominated for her role in "Wicked: For Good," has officially ditched her pink Glinda-themed attire. The artist and actor arrived in an all-black gown, with her no-longer-blond hair in her classic ponytail look.

The "Heated Rivalry" boys are in the house. And they're on time for dinner.

Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie are already getting asked to be in pictures.

“It’s ... crazy?” Williams said of the newfound fame.

Kate Hudson is nominated for her role in "Sung Song Blue." But this isn't Hudson's first rodeo. She took home the award 25 years ago in 2001 for best supporting actress for her role in "Almost Famous."

"I love this business. I keep plugging away," she said. "I like entertaining people; I'm really grateful that I'm still here."

When it comes to her co-star Hugh Jackson, she said, "I feel very lonely without Hugh tonight. He's the most wonderful, lovely, generous, beautiful man. ... We had to go to some pretty dark places, and he just held me there."

As stars continue to flood the carpet, dinner is being served inside the ballroom.

The popularity of Netflix’s “KPop Demon Hunters” has soared into awards season.

“Golden,” a track from the film, has also topped Billboard charts and is both a Golden Globes and and a Grammy contender. The voices behind the band in real life are Ejae, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami, who will surely be making a red carpet appearance tonight.

Mel Robbins is prepared for tonight.

“Yes, I have a speech written, and I will forget it the second I step onstage if I win,” the author and podcast personality told Variety on the carpet.

Robbins, host of “The Mel Robbins Podcast,” is one of the nominees for the Globes’ first-ever podcast category.

She later added that it feels "surreal" to be at the awards show.

"I don’t even know how to describe what this is. I feel like aliens abducted me and put me on a different planet," Robbins told Variety. "It is so cool, it’s unlike anything I’ve ever experienced."

Nikki Glaser, hosting the awards show for the second year in a row, said she began writing jokes “right after Thanksgiving.” 

“I’ve said this monologue over 85 times because of rehearsals and stuff,” Glaser told Variety during its red carpet livestream. “So I am ready. I’m ready to say it one more time.”

She added that she and her team wrote thousands of jokes in preparation for tonight, with last-minute adds popping into her mind even today.

Noah Wyle, better known as Dr. Robby from the nominated TV hit "The Pitt," is having a busy week.

Season Two of the show dropped Thursday, and at the season's premier, it was announced that the show would be returning for Season Three. Oh, and he won a Critic's Choice Award for his role in the show last weekend.

He told Variety that the crew behind the hit HBO Max show is still shooting Season Three and that he has to be on set first thing tomorrow morning.

Fans of “The Pitt” are hopeful Wyle, who won his first Emmy last year for the role, will receive another statuette for his excellent job saving (fictional) lives. Still, it’s a tough category, as Wyle will face another top contender: “Severance” star Adam Scott.

Chatting with E! on the carpet, Wyle said that he’s “very proud” of this season and that he’s “overjoyed” that HBO picked up the series for a third season.

Wyle also talked about meeting up with his "ER" co-star George Clooney last night, saying: "It’s always wonderful to see him. It’s like the years just fall away every time we do."

"Neither of us can believe we're still getting away with doing what we love to do," he added.

If it felt like Brittany Snow was all over your television this year, you're not dreaming. The "Pitch Perfect" favorite appeared in both "The Hunting Wives" and "The Beast in Me.

"It’s been a really crazy year," Snow, who is nominated for her role in “The Beast In Me,” told E! on the red carpet ahead of the show. "I didn’t mean for them to all come out at the same time!”

As for the next season of "The Hunting Wives," Snow said it won't disappoint.

"It’s more steamy. We played some Reneé Rapp. We’re doing it," she said. "It’s going to leave people really angry in like a sexy way!”

Glen Powell was faced with a dilemma on tonight's red carpet: Are you team Elphaba or Glinda?

"Guys, I know both of them, so I cannot choose," Powell told Variety, totally avoiding his responsibility as an actor to answer the question. "This is going to start a war."

She arrived at the Globes with her husband Benny Blanco, who she got married to last year. Adam Brody and Leighton Meester, everyone's favorite couple from the Josh Schwartz TV universe, arrived together. Meester appeared in an episode of Season To of Brody's show, "Nobody Wants This," bringing joy to fans who wanted to see the duo together on screen.

Don't worry: The bubbly is also already being popped.

Attendees who don’t win a Golden Globe might at least take a bite out of one. The pastry team at the Beverly Hilton made detailed golden replicas of the trophy using 150 pounds of chocolate.

Wanda Sykes is using her accessories to get political on the Globes red carpet, telling Variety she is wearing a "Be Good" pin "for the mother who was murdered by an ICE agent" last week.

"It's really sad," Sykes said. "We need to speak up ... and shut this rogue government down because it's just awful what they're doing to people."

"Good" refers to Renee Good, a Minneapolis mom who was fatally shot by an ICE officer last week as Immigration and Customs Enforcement surges on the Midwestern city.

Protests against her death have broken out across the country and have continued through the weekend with many against the deployment of ICE agents in their cities.

This year, the Golden Globes received some scrutiny after unveiling a new podcasting category and putting several political podcasts from more conservative hosts on its shortlist of contenders.

But last month, none of the political podcasts — including Apple's No. 1 podcast in America, “The Joe Rogan Experience” — made the cut. It was a notable omission partly because Rogan’s show helped turn podcasting into a certifiable cultural phenomenon.

The six slots instead went to “Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard,” “Call Her Daddy,” “Good Hang with Amy Poehler,” “The Mel Robbins Podcast,” “SmartLess” and “Up First.”

That means you can expect to see the likes of NPR talent (who are behind "Up First") alongside hosts like "Call Her Daddy" lead Alex Cooper.

The series, which rose to the top of Netflix’s most-watched shows list in March, follows the fallout after a teenage boy is arrested for murdering his female classmate.

The story centers on Jamie (played by Owen Cooper), whose murder of his classmate Katie sends shock waves through their English suburb. Each episode is shot in one continuous take and focuses on a different aspect of the fallout.

“What we set out to do was not tell a whodunnit, but a whydunnit,” co-writer and co-creator Jack Thorne previously told NBC News. “We wanted to get inside Jamie, and we wanted to present this complicated portrait. And by establishing his guilt at the end of Episode 1, that gave us longer to do that.”

Cooper, who is 15, had no acting experience before the show. Now, he’s among the stars receiving the most buzz during awards season. He made history last year, becoming both the youngest person to be nominated for an Emmy for supporting actor in a limited series and the youngest male actor to ever receive an Emmy.

From industry veterans like Bill Maher to relative newcomers, including Aimee Lou Wood of “The White Lotus” and Chase Infiniti of “One Battle After Another,” 27 performers received their first Golden Globe nominations this year.

“Severance” stars Britt Lower and Tramell Tillman got their first nods, as did “Sinners” leading man Michael B. Jordan and “Pluribus” breakout Rhea Seehorn.

The first-timers were celebrated during a Globes-hosted luncheon last month, which 11 stars attended, the Golden Globes wrote in a blog post.

“It’s really a remarkable milestone in all of your journeys, and we couldn’t be happier for you," Golden Globes President Helen Hoehne said in opening remarks. "The work resonated with 400 voters from 95 different countries and regions, which just speaks for how you resonated with so many voters from all over the world, and how incredible your work is.”

A vampire film set in 1930s Mississippi may seem out of left field for director Ryan Coogler. But his personal ties to the story and explorations of race and belonging are consistent with his four other feature films, “Fruitvale Station,” “Creed,” and the record-breaking “Black Panther” and its sequel “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”

“Sinners,” Coogler told NBC News, is a tribute to his Uncle James, who “was the oldest male member of my family from Mississippi.”

“He meant a lot to me,” Coogler said. “He passed away right after I was in post-production on ‘Creed,’ and all he would do is play blues records.”

The film is nominated for seven Golden Globes. Coogler’s longtime friend and collaborator Michael B. Jordan is nominated for best performance by an actor in a motion picture (drama) for his roles as twins Smoke and Stack, who left the Mississippi Delta to fight in World War I and later settled in Chicago, where they were rumored to work with the infamous Al Capone.

Hudson Williams' second half, Connor Storrie, is on the red carpet, y'all.

HudCon has become the duo to watch in Hollywood in the lead-up to the awards, with celebrities fawning over the "Heated Rivalry" stars all week.

"TODAY" dropped a glimpse at the seating chart for the Globes, and the table we have our eyes on includes Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie — you might have heard of them recently — Charli XCX, Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal.

Yeah, that's about perfect, if you ask me.

Kumail Nanjiani, nominated for his Hulu stand-up special “Night Thoughts," stopped to chat with E! on the red carpet and revealed it's his first time attending the Golden Globes.

“It’s an honor to be nominated; it’s a great group of people. I am excited to see what the vibe is," he said. He added that he doesn't want to "jinx" his chances but that he did write an acceptance speech.

Iranian director Jafar Panahi puts a lot on the line for his work. Authorities could again arrest him for speaking out against the country’s hard-line regime. They could send him back to the notoriously cruel Evin Prison in Tehran, which houses many of Iran’s political dissidents. He could again be placed on house arrest and barred from making films.

And in December, just as the U.S. press tour for Panahi's Golden Globe-nominated film "It Was Just an Accident" had wrapped up, Iran sentenced Panahi to prison. The country also again banned him from traveling, citing “propaganda activities."

For much of his career, Panahi, now 65, has largely ignored these attempts at silencing him, instead focusing on doing what he loves most: making films about his homeland.

“You have to find a way around the system,” Panahi said in an interview with NBC News conducted in Farsi at a hotel in Santa Monica, California, and translated into English last fall.

The dissident filmmaker recently said that he plans to return to Iran after the Oscars, even though he faces jail time and another ban.

Almost as exciting as the winners are those who will grace the Golden Globes stage with their presence as presenters, showing off the night's biggest stars and highest talent.

Expect to see hockeys newest hotties, Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, at the presenters podium in what is sure to be one of the most viral moments of the evening.

Charli XCX, soon making her foray into the film world, will get a chance on stage as a presenter, as will Miley Cyrus and Snoop Dogg.

Just escaped from the Upside Down, Joe Keery will present tonight, along with Ayo Edebiri, Dakota Fanning and Jennifer Garner.

You'll have to tune into the show to see the rest of the star-studded list of presenters try their hand at time behind the mic.

It wouldn't be an awards show without the briefcases bearing the winners' names.

Accountants from KPMG, the firm that serves as the official vote tabulator for several major awards shows, walked the carpet carrying the accessories.

The Golden Globes are set to be telecast on CBS, the venerable broadcast network that has lately found itself in the national spotlight thanks in part to a high-profile merger.

Last year, Skydance Media acquired CBS' parent company, Paramount, in a blockbuster deal valued at $8 billion. Skydance's owner, David Ellison, then undertook sweeping changes at the combined media entity, including a wave of layoffs and new leadership at CBS News.

The merger came after Paramount paid $16 million to settle a lawsuit from President Donald Trump, who had accused CBS News of deceptively editing a "60 Minutes" interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris. (CBS denied that accusation.)

The Disney+ show’s second season received high praise from critics and viewers, many of whom commented on the plot’s relevance to current events.

It focuses on a time when many in the galaxy live in fear of the fascistic Empire. It centers on thief-turned-rebel spy Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), whom fans first meet in the 2016 feature film “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.”

“Andor” creator and showrunner Tony Gilroy told Rotten Tomatoes in an interview last year that he studied revolutions throughout history in writing the series.

In "Wicked: For Good," the second part of the film adaptation of the musical, Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), an unfairly villainized figure in the mythical land of Oz, is seen trying to save her kingdom from a descent into authoritarianism.

In a new song by composer Stephen Schwartz called “There’s No Place Like Home,” Erivo sings of her beloved homeland, “Why do I love this place that’s never loved me?” Schwartz wrote the song during the Covid-19 pandemic, when he and playwright Winnie Holzman were working to adapt their long-running 2003 stage musical into a two-film structure.

“No matter where you lie on a political or ideological spectrum, it must be obvious that the America we live in today is quite a different country than 10 years ago,” Schwartz said in a Zoom interview with NBC News after the film’s record-breaking opening weekend. “And so if you feel that something is being lost, the question then becomes, ‘Well, what do you do about that?’”

Warner Bros. Discovery's film “One Battle After Another” and TV show “The White Lotus” collected the most Golden Globe nominations in their categories. Another of its movies, “Sinners,” also fared well, earning seven nominations.

But the studio did not have much time to celebrate the accolades. Just as actors Marlon Wayans and Skye P. Marshall were calling the names of Golden Globe nominees at a news conference at the Beverly Hilton in December, Paramount launched a hostile takeover bid for WBD valued at more than $108 billion.

WBD’s board and shareholders are weighing competing offers for the studio from Netflix and Paramount. Meanwhile, voters in Hollywood are continuing their deliberations as award season kicks off. Many of the seven Hollywood insiders NBC News spoke with — including producers, marketers and former studio executives — said the looming media merger will shape votes for upcoming awards shows, including the Directors Guild Awards, the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the coveted Academy Awards.

I volunteered to work on my day off to bring the people what they want: updates on breakout stars of "Heated Rivalry" Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie.

The duo, affectionally known by the portmanteau "Hudcon," didn't arrive together, though.

Williams was fashionably first.

Talking to E! on the carpet while wearing Armani and Bulgari jewelry, Williams said his "inbox keeps filling up" and that he's "not sure how well" he's handling fame, but he's "very grateful to be here."

We're grateful too, Hudson Mildred Williams.

Apple TV’s “Pluribus,” Netflix’s “Beast in Me” and Peacock’s “All Her Fault” were among the shows that received recognition in the TV categories. All three were released in November, thus giving them just one month to pick up buzz from audiences before nominations were announced.

“Pluribus,” from “Breaking Bad” creator Vince Gilligan, snagged a nod in the best TV series (drama) category. Star Rhea Seehorn, who co-starred in Gilligan’s “Better Call Saul,” received her first nomination for best performance by a female actor in a TV series (drama) for her role as Carol in “Pluribus.” Last weekend, Seehorn took home the Critics’ Choice Award for best actress in a drama series for her role in the show as Carol, a cynical writer tasked with saving humanity.

“Beast in Me” picked up three nominations: best TV limited series/anthology series/motion picture made for TV; best performance by a female actor in a limited series/anthology series/motion picture made for TV (for lead Claire Danes); and best performance by a male actor in a limited series/anthology series/motion picture made for TV (for co-lead Matthew Rhys).

“All Her Fault” also earned a nod in the best TV limited series/anthology series/motion picture made for TV category. Its lead, “Succession” star Sarah Snook will be up against Danes and four others in the best performance by a female actor in a limited series/anthology series/motion picture made for TV category. Snook, who plays a mother searching for her missing son in the series, also took home a Critics’ Choice Award for the role earlier this month.

As with most awards shows these days, the viewing audience for the Golden Globes is a fraction of what it once was. Last year, 9.3 million people tuned in to watch host Nikki Glaser gently roast stars like Timothée Chalamet and Nicole Kidman on CBS, according to Nielsen, less than half the 20 million or so who watched in the 2010s. And the Globes has never been terribly predictive of the Oscars.

Add to that years of scandal and controversy, including a series of 2021 L.A. Times stories alleging ethical lapses and diversity failures, followed by more recent kerfuffles about a new podcasting category, and it sort of begs the question: Why does Hollywood still show up for this show?

The reason for the Globes’ remarkable endurance as an A-lister pit stop is the show’s timing, tone and ability to attract attention, even in our highly distracted age. When grabbing eyeballs is harder than ever, an actor’s red carpet moment or charming acceptance speech at the Golden Globes can still help a movie or show find its audience. Nine-point-three million people ain’t nothin’, after all, and the halo effect from news and social media coverage continues for days.

“The Globes matter,” said Tony Angelotti, a film awards strategist who this year is working on campaigns for “Wicked: For Good” and “Zootopia 2.” “Especially as it becomes more and more competitive to promote projects to an increasingly fractured audience.”

“Heated Rivalry,” the steamy Canadian hockey show from Crave, isn’t nominated for anything tonight. The adaptation of the popular romance book wasn't eligible because it debuted in December on HBO.

But since everyone online has hockey fever now, the show's leading duo, Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, will be at the Globes to present.

Lucky us.

The acting duo have charmed all of Hollywood in the lead-up to the awards show, with many celebrities stopping to snap pictures with them at various Globes-related parties and events.

Two of Hollywood's leading ladies were honored by the Golden Globes ahead of Sunday's awards ceremony. The televised event, called Golden Eve, celebrated the work of actors Helen Mirren and Sarah Jessica Parker.

The stars were awarded the Cecil B. DeMille Award and Carol Burnett Award, respectively, making it the first time the Globes had presented these awards together in a televised event.

In her speech, Parker said she first knew years ago she wanted to be an actor after “sitting in the audience” at the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park.

“Overcompensating” star Mary Beth Barone will lead red carpet coverage for the Golden Globes as the official correspondent, becoming the latest social media creator to take on awards show coverage.

The comedian, who is the co-host of the popular podcast “RIDE” alongside “Overcompensating” creator Benito Skinner, will interview celebrities before Sunday’s show. Coverage will be posted in real time to the Golden Globes social media accounts, beginning at 6 p.m. ET.

Creators have become an integral part of film, television and music marketing. Brands and studios regularly enlist them to interview celebrities and artists for social media content. They can be paid thousands of dollars by studios to help promote projects, according to Business Insider. But in recent years, some viral exchanges between a handful of influencers and A-list stars have generated scrutiny over why creators are getting tapped for major entertainment events.

Hollywood is finally in the swing of awards season, which officially kicks off today with the Golden Globes.

Haven't seen all of the buzziest contenders, including some of this year's Globes nominees? There probably isn't time before this show, but there are still two months until the coveted Oscars.

NBC News compiled a list of a dozen of the top movie contenders this year — and how you can watch them.

Read the full story here.

“Marty Supreme” represents A24’s biggest production budget to date, at about $60 million. The marketing is an additional cost, which A24 has not disclosed, though it is widely believed to be less expensive than a traditional campaign because of its reliance more on unconventional stunts than on costly TV and outdoor ads.

A24 has dropped limited-edition merchandise, like a highly coveted $250 windbreaker, put its star on the cover of a Wheaties box and orchestrated a surprise premiere at the New York Film Festival. With an Instagram post from the film's star Timothée Chalamet, they alerted fans to a “Marty Supreme” streetwear pop-up in East Hollywood, generating crowds so big the LAPD was called.

Chalamet and the film’s director, Josh Safdie, traveled to a fan event in Sao Paulo, Brazil, where they danced to Soulja Boy’s “Crank That” and handed out orange table-tennis balls. The movie’s maximum-effort promotional campaign even poked fun at itself in an 18-minute mock Zoom meeting between Chalamet and a marketing team in which he proposed painting the Statue of Liberty orange.

The strategy has been both weirder and more original than simply dropping a movie trailer and buying TV ads and billboards, a technique that used to be known as “spray and pray.”

Chalamet has been sporting orange at various promotional events, including premieres and screenings of the film. Let's see if he sports the color again tonight.

Amanda Seyfried, Jacob Elordi and Jeremy Allen White are all double nominees, scoring nods for their acting in both film and television categories.

Seyfried, who has spent the last month promoting her Lionsgate film "The Housemaid," took home a Golden Globe for best limited series actress in 2023 for her role as Elizabeth Holmes in Hulu's "The Dropout." This year, she's nominated in the best actress (film comedy/musical) category for her role in "The Testament of Ann Lee," in which she plays the 18th-century English religious leader and founder of the Shaker movement. She's also nominated in the best actress (TV limited/movie) category for her role as a police officer combating the opioid crisis in Peacock's "Long Bright River." (NBC News and Peacock share Comcast as a parent company.)

Elordi, who is among this year's first-time nominees, is a contender in the best actor in a supporting role (motion picture) category for his role as the monster in Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein." The "Euphoria" star is also nominated in the best male actor (limited series/anthology series/motion picture made for television) category for his portrayal of a medical student-turned-prisoner of war in "The Narrow Road to the Deep North."

White, a favorite among awards voters, is once again nominated in the best actor (TV series, musical/comedy) category for his role as Chef Carmy in "The Bear." His portrayal as artist Bruce Springsteen in "Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere" also garnered him a nod in the best actor in a motion picture (drama) category.

But winning multiple Globes in one night for separate roles is rare. Just Helen Mirren, who in 2007 won for “The Queen” and “Elizabeth I,” and Joan Plowright, who in 1993 won for “Enchanted April” and “Stalin,” have managed to accomplish that feat.

Paul Thomas Anderson’s "One Battle After Another," a seriocomic portrait of faded political revolutionaries, looks like a lock for best comedy/musical film, especially after winning the top prize at the recent Critics' Choice Awards. It’s the most nominated movie heading into the show.

The outcome of the drama film race is a far less certain. "Sinners," a critical and commercial smash directed by Ryan Coogler ("Black Panther") and starring Michael B. Jordan in a dual role as twin brothers who face off against vampires, arguably goes into the night with the greatest momentum.

In the television categories, HBO’s "The Pitt" is likely to repeat its triumphant performance at last year’s Emmys, where it nabbed the drama series trophy. The fight for the comedy series seems like a two-way race between a pair of recent Emmy winners: Apple TV+'s "The Studio" and HBO Max's "Hacks."

LOS ANGELES — Spotify and The Hollywood Reporter's Golden Globes party on Thursday was designed to honor podcasters, in honor of the awards show creating a new category around the medium.

Nominees in the best podcast category, including Amy Poehler, were among the list of attendees, which featured an eclectic mix of actors, creators, influencers, hosts, reality stars, musicians and producers. Each recognized show had a themed cocktail or appetizer named after them (this reporter indulged in one “Mel’s Reset Spritz,” inspired by podcaster Mel Robbins).

But the evening, which took place on soundstages at The Lot at Formosa in West Hollywood, seemingly belonged to François Arnaud and Robbie G.K., breakout stars from HBO Max's hit hockey romance "Heated Rivalry." The duo, who play Scott Hunter and Kip on the show, were ogled by onlookers. Several celebrities even stopped to say hi to them.

In the film categories, Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” dominated with nine nominations, including best motion picture (comedy/musical). In the TV categories, HBO’s “The White Lotus” led with six nominations.

Entertainment journalist Jessica Shaw joined NBC News Daily’s anchors in December to break down the top nominees and the snubs. Watch below:

Comedian Nikki Glaser is taking on hosting duties again after receiving widespread praise last year.

The Emmy-, Globe- and Grammy-nominated performer was complimented by fans for her roasting skills and quippy jokes throughout the night.

“I gotta say, this feels like I finally made it,” Glaser said during her 2025 monologue. “You know, I’m in a room full of producers at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, and this time, all of my clothes are on, so it was worth it.”

Amy Poehler and Tina Fey have hosted the show together several times, and Sandra Oh previously split hosting duties with Andy Samberg in 2019. But Glaser remains the first woman to host the event solo.

In a post on Instagram ahead of this year's show, Glaser wrote, "I'm back for my hosting sequel." She described it as "The Golden Globes: For Good," a joke referring to "Wicked: For Good," the second part to Universal Pictures' musical adaptation that was released in November 2025.

The 83rd annual ceremony, which is being held at the Beverly Hilton, will air on CBS and stream on Paramount+ at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET.

NBC News will be live-blogging into the evening, so you can also follow along with us here.
