Editorial Note: James White contributed to this article.
As a whole, it was a fairly run-of-the-mill awards ceremony – some tearful speeches, a sprinkling of politics, jokes about Leonardo DiCaprio’s dating life – but got the job done.
Glaser returned to host again, offering a few fun skits (a parody of the Nicole Kidman AMC ad targeting podcasts, and a mash-up for ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ and ‘Marty Supreme’ with a Fran Drescher cameo.
Yes, some of the jokes were entirely predictable, but there were some pointed jabs at CBS News (“see BS News”) and the Epstein Files.
And overall, Glaser kept the show moving (it eventually ended roughly 10 minutes late).
There were a lot of expected winners, including several trophies for ‘One Battle After Another,’ ‘Sinners’ and the latest for ‘Marty Supreme’s Timothée Chalamet.
But the surprises were more fun –– ‘Hamnet’ scooped the Motion Picture – Drama award, while ‘The Secret Agent’ nabbed Non-English Language Film and a more unexpected (if entirely deserved) Actor trophy for star Wagner Moura.
A lot of the TV awards for drama and comedy were similar to other shows such as the Emmys, with ‘The Pitt,’‘The Studio’ and ‘Adolescence’ all winning more hardware for their trophy cabinets.
Awards shows are usually a mix of humble and heartfelt, and ‘One Battle’s Teyana Taylor certainly got that in early with her tearful acceptance moment.
Outside of acceptance speeches, Judd Apatow killed it presenting Best Director, nodding to Nikki Glaser’s history babysitting his daughters and his “quiet boycott” of the awards after ‘Trainwreck’ lost to ‘The Martian’ in the comedy category a decade ago.
Wanda Sykes was also on top form as she presented the Stand-Up category, swiping at Bill Maher and particularly Ricky Gervais, whose award she accepted “on behalf of God and trans people.”
And Snoop Dogg was… Snoop Dogg, handing out the first Podcast award, which was won by Amy Poehler for ‘Good Hang.’
There was much praise for Macaulay Culkin, who was presenting Best Screenplay, and scored a standing ovation as he took the stage.
Julia Roberts hyped up her own stint on stage Presenting Best Motion Picture Comedy, while poor George Clooney had to note that he did not get the same reaction presenting drama, a fact reiterated by pal Don Cheadle, who showed up to gently rib him.
The Golden Globes will air on Paramount+ live January 11th, 2026.

‘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.
On 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).

Arriving on HBO Max on January 8 with its first episode (followed by one episode weekly) is the second season of ‘The Pitt’ the breakout medical drama which saw such success last year.

‘The Pitt’ was one of 2024’s big TV sensations, stitching together the sheen of prestige TV with the more urgent pace (and closer to the episode count of) network TV.
A spiritual successor to the fast-moving likes of ‘ER’, it breathed some fresh life into the genre, which had largely become more soap than procedural. The question is, can that initial trick be repeated?
Script and Direction

Season 2 really doesn’t stray far from the doctor’s orders of the first –– there is the same mix of patients, personal drama and unfolding crises that made the first such a compelling watch.
Yet there is still the lingering feeling that it’s just more of the same –– while the quality level remains high, in the episodes sent to press, there’s not much surprise to be found here beyond one techno-crisis that sends the team back to the days of paper charts and whiteboards.
Cast and Performances

Noah Wyle continues to be the soul of the show as Dr. Robby, though this year he’s less about freaking out and more contemplating his upcoming sabbatical. Still, there’s plenty for him to do, and Wyle proves why he’s won awards for this show.
Taylor Dearden remains the heart as Mel King, with her nervy medic worried about an upcoming deposition and once more needing to look after her sister.
And, of course, Katherine LaNasa’s Charge Nurse Evans continues to rule the desk with a spine of steel and a heart of gold.
The rest of the cast are all solid, with new recruit Sepideh Moafi fitting in well as the future-minded new attending, Dr. Al-Hashimi.
Final Thoughts

The second season maintains the pace, and if the feel is sometimes over-familiar, it’s not too detrimental. Yet the show might quickly go off the bubble if it keeps going over the same territory too often.
‘The Pitt’ Season 2 receives 80 out of 100.

What’s the plot of ‘The Pitt’?

‘One Battle After Another’ leads the film field with seven nods.
The ceremony will screen on Netflix once more.
Despite the somewhat surprising decision to change the name of the Screen Actors Guild Awards to the clunkier The Actor Awards presented by SAG-AFTRA, everything else about the performer-focused awards is remaining the same.

Though there were few surprises among the big winners at this year’s Critics Choice Awards, where ‘One Battle After Another’ took home a three big trophies (Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay), the ceremony was nevertheless still a lively, energetic affair, hosted once again by Chelsea Handler.
Following a monologue from Handler that took shots at Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav and paid loving tribute to Rob Reiner and Diane Keaton, it was on with the show.

The Golden Globes will take place on December 8th.
Despite lots of changes behind the scenes and some serious PR airbrushing, the Golden Globes never quite retained their luster. Still, they’re a big stop on the awards circuit and the nominations were announced today by Marlon Wayans and Skye P. Marshall during a press conference held at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles.
And on the TV front, ‘The White Lotus’ and this year’s big small screen sensation, the one-shot drama ‘Adolescence’ have the most nominations for their side of the awards.

Nate Bargatze hosted –– but beyond a relatively fun opening monologue taking expected swipes at TV such as ‘The Bear’ qualifying as comedy rather than drama, he wasn’t all that impressive as emcee for the night. The only element that worked was a running total donation to the Boys & Girls Club of America he promised, which went up and down according to how well winners kept to a 45-second speech limit.
Stephen Colbert was the first presenter of the night, and in a nod to his show being cancelled by CBS (the channel that ran the ceremony this year), asked nominee Harrison Ford to get his resume to Steven Spielberg.
The directing for a Limited Series category featured five women to one man. Of course the man won it! ‘Adolescence’ overseer Philip Barantini took the trophy — the limited series itself won a clutch of awards.
The 2025 Emmy nominees were announced this morning.
‘Severance’, ‘The Penguin’ and ‘The Studio’ scored the most nominations.
‘Paradise’ and Netflix limited series ‘Adolescence’ were among the new arrivals.
The 2025 Emmy Award nominees were announced this morning by ‘What We Do in the Shadows’ actor Harvey Guillen and ‘Running Point’s Brenda Song, though the Television Academy spurred some grumbling by choosing to have two categories –– Outstanding Talk Series and Reality Competition Series –– four hours early on ‘CBS Mornings.’
This year, from a critical and awards standpoint, it was clear that the second season of Apple TV+ sci-fi drama ‘Severance’ was worth waiting for –– it nabbed 27 nominations, including Drama Series and a shot at a clutch of acting awards.
Harrison Ford in ‘Shrinking,’ now streaming on Apple TV+.
It was also a good day for aging actors in terms of awards: Harrison Ford landed his first career Emmy nomination for his role in ‘Shrinking’, making him the second oldest actor to earn one, while Kathy Bates became the oldest woman nominated in the Drama Lead Actress category thanks to her work on ‘Matlock.’
Not having such a great time of it? Elisabeth Moss, who failed to land a nomination for the final season of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’, while ‘Yellowjackets’ was notably absent from the list and despite the show and its stars repeating, ‘The Bear’s creator Christopher Storer didn’t make the cut this time around.
