It’s time to play the music, it’s time to light the lights, it’s time to meet the winners of the Golden Globes 2026 last night! Yes, awards season is back in full swing folks, and at a glitzy ceremony held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, Los Angeles just hours ago, we got our first real bellwether for the movers and shakers in the mix for those all-important BAFTAs and Oscars to come. In the end, it was a night for dreaming big as Timothée Chalamet beat out the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney to scoop Best Actor (Musical or Comedy) for his scintillating turn as table tennis maverick Marty Mauser in Marty Supreme, while Jessie Buckley’s heartwrenching performance in Best Picture (Drama) winner Hamnet landed the Irish star her first ever Golden Globe, too.
On an evening which saw Paul Thomas Anderson’s white-knuckle epic One Battle After Another dominate the awards tally with four wins — including Best Picture (Musical or Comedy), Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Supporting Actress for another first-time winner, Teyana Taylor — there was no shortage of crowd-pleasing wins in LA. Wagner Moura earned himself a richly deserved Best Actor (Drama) nod for Best Motion Picture (Non-English Language) winner The Secret Agent, while awards circuit faves Rose Byrne and Stellan Skarsgård saw their work in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You and Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value respectively recognised with little golden statuettes.
Elsewhere, KPop Demon Hunters enjoyed a suitably golden night, scooping both Best Motion Picture (Animated) and Best Original Song, while Empire’s film of 2025, Sinners, was recognised with awards for both its score and, giving a still-inexplicable category’s existence at least a crumb of merit, Cinematic And Box Office Achievement. And that’s just on the film front. On the TV side of things, Adolescence‘s insane run of awards wins continued as the series and its stars — Stephen Graham, Owen Cooper, and Erin Doherty — all picked up Golden Globes, while amid popular wins for Seth Rogen (The Studio) and Noah Wyle (The PItt), Michelle Williams won a richly deserved third Golden Globe for her remarkable performance in Dying For Sex.
For a full rundown of the night’s big victors in all the major categories, keep reading on. Winners are all highlighted in bold, and that’s about all you need to know before diving in as there are a lot of awards to run through. So without further ado…
