The glitz and glamour of Hollywood descended upon the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills on Sunday, 11 January 2026, for the 83rd Golden Globe Awards. The ceremony, hosted once again by Nikki Glaser, celebrates the finest achievements in film and television from the past year.
Major Contenders in the Film Categories
This year's film nominations are led by Paul Thomas Anderson's comedic caper 'One Battle After Another', starring Leonardo DiCaprio. It faces stiff competition in the musical or comedy category from projects like Josh Safdie's ping pong drama 'Marty Supreme', featuring Timothée Chalamet, and Chloé Zhao's adaptation 'Hamnet'. In the drama categories, Joachim Trier's 'Sentimental Value' and Ryan Coogler's 'Sinners' are among the favourites.
The race for acting honours is equally fierce. In drama, performers like Jessie Buckley (Hamnet) and Michael B. Jordan (Sinners) are nominated. The musical or comedy categories see Emma Stone (Bugonia) and Leonardo DiCaprio (One Battle After Another) vying for trophies.
Television and New Podcast Honour
On the television side, the critically acclaimed British limited series 'Adolescence', about a young boy accused of murder, is a standout nominee. It will compete against shows like 'The White Lotus', 'Severance', and 'The Bear'. A significant change for the 2026 ceremony is the introduction of a best podcast category, recognising the medium's growing influence. Nominees include popular shows like 'Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard' and 'SmartLess'.
The event also presents two lifetime achievement awards. The prestigious Cecil B. DeMille award will be given to Dame Helen Mirren, while the Carol Burnett award for television goes to Sarah Jessica Parker.
