Preview:
- ‘One Battle After Another,’ ‘Hamnet’ and more won at this year’s Golden Globes.
- Seth Rogen and Noah Wyle were among the TV nominees who went home with trophies.
- The show added Podcast and stand-up categories this year.
The 2026 Golden Globes ceremony happened on Sunday night, and there weren’t a lot of surprises.
Host Nikki Glaser’s opening monologue took some potshots at the Warner Bros./Netflix deal, Leonardo DiCaprio’s penchant for younger girlfriends and, in slightly more pointed moments, the Epstein files and the ongoing, disturbing changes at CBS news.
Movie-wise, ‘One Battle After Another,’ ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ and ‘Sinners’ won yet more awards, as did ‘Marty Supreme’s Timothée Chalamet.
Perhaps the only real unexpected winner was Rose Byrne for ‘If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.’
Al790soHjS0btEJlDFEE03On the TV front, it also felt a little like a repeat of other awards ceremonies, with the likes of Noah Wyle, Jean Smart and Seth Rogen all picking up trophies after winning at other events.
At least the Podcast category was new, even if Amy Poehler (a popular former Globes host) wasn’t a big shock winner for her ‘Good Hang’ interview show.
But if you were a composer hoping to see your work honored, you were out of luck, since the Globes organizers chose to hand out that category off the air (congratulations and, er, sorry to ‘Sinners’ Ludwig Göransson, by the way).
