The 83rd Golden Globe Awards ceremony, held at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills on Sunday, 12 January 2026, delivered a night of glamour, surprises, and historic firsts. The event, once again hosted by the sharp-witted Nikki Glaser, saw Hollywood's elite gather to celebrate the past year's finest achievements in film and television.
Major Film and Television Triumphs
The evening's top honours were shared between two major productions. Paul Thomas Anderson's musical comedy 'One Battle After Another' and the Netflix limited series 'Adolescence' each claimed an impressive four trophies. Anderson's film secured the coveted Best Film – Musical or Comedy award, while the director himself won for Best Director and Best Screenplay.
In a notable upset, Timothée Chalamet beat his fellow nominee Leonardo DiCaprio to win Best Male Actor in a Musical or Comedy for his role in 'Marty Supreme'. The drama acting categories also provided a shock, with Brazilian star Wagner Moura winning Best Male Actor in a Drama for the Portuguese-language film 'The Secret Agent'.
On the television side, 'The Pitt' was named Best Television Series – Drama, while 'The Studio' took home Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy. The limited series category was dominated by the Netflix hit 'Adolescence', which also yielded wins for Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty in the acting categories.
New Categories and Special Honours
The 2026 ceremony marked the introduction of a new award for Best Podcast, reflecting the medium's soaring popularity. The nominees were drawn from the year's 25 most-listened-to podcasts. In a compelling narrative, Amy Poehler triumphed with 'Good Hang', beating out her ex-husband Will Arnett's podcast 'SmartLess' to claim the inaugural prize.
The prestigious Cecil B. DeMille award was presented to the legendary British actress Dame Helen Mirren, recognising her outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment. The Carol Burnett Award, honouring excellence in television, was given to Sarah Jessica Parker.
