Hollywood gathered in its finest as the Golden Globes 2026 unfolded with a mix of sweeping victories, unexpected snubs, and defining cultural moments. This year’s ceremony leaned heavily into ambitious storytelling, rewarding films and shows that took creative risks while also embracing performances that stayed with audiences long after the credits rolled. From literary adaptations dominating the drama categories to comedies and genre-bending projects making their mark, the Golden Globes once again proved to be an early indicator of where the awards season conversation is headed this year.
On the film front, Hamnet emerged as one of the night’s biggest winners, with top honours in the drama categories. Paul Thomas Anderson had a particularly strong showing, with One Battle After Another earning major wins across directing, screenplay, and performance categories. Meanwhile, Sinners stood out as a commercial and creative success, taking home the Cinematic and Box-Office Achievement awards and a win for Best Original Score. Animation also had its moment, with KPop Demon Hunters capturing attention for its bold visual storytelling and global appeal.
Television saw an equally compelling mix of prestige drama and sharp comedy. Adolescence dominated the limited series categories, taking home multiple awards after establishing itself as one of the year’s most talked-about shows. The Pitt led the drama television wins, while The Studio bagged awards in the comedy category.
