The glitz and glamour of Hollywood returned to the Beverly Hilton on Sunday, January 11, 2026, for the 83rd Golden Globe Awards. Hosted once again by the sharp-tongued Nikki Glaser, the ceremony was a night of surprises, emotional victories, and stunning fashion, celebrating the best in film and television from the past year.
Red Carpet Fashion Steals the Spotlight
Before the awards were handed out, the stars turned the red carpet into a runway of high fashion. Teyana Taylor, a nominee for her role in "One Battle After Another," made a bold statement in a custom Schiaparelli gown featuring a daring diamond-encrusted thong detail. Timothée Chalamet opted for sleek sophistication in an all-black ensemble accented by a Cartier necklace.
Other notable looks included Selena Gomez in a meticulously crafted Chanel dress with hundreds of white floral embellishments, a piece that reportedly took over 300 hours to create, and Emma Stone who shone in a butter-yellow Louis Vuitton two-piece set. The carpet was a parade of elegance featuring stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Jenna Ortega, Jennifer Lawrence, and Dwayne Johnson with his wife Lauren Hashian.
Historic Wins and Emotional Speeches
The ceremony kicked off with a powerful moment as Teyana Taylor won the first award of the night for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for "One Battle After Another." In an emotional acceptance speech, she dedicated her win to her community, stating, "To my brown sisters & little brown girls watching tonight… We belong in every room we walk into. Our voices matter, our dreams deserve space."
Timothée Chalamet also celebrated his first Golden Globe win, taking home the award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for "Marty Supreme." The victory was especially sweet after several previous nominations. The film "One Battle After Another" had a strong showing, also winning Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and Best Director for Paul Thomas Anderson.
In a major upset in the drama categories, Chloé Zhao's "Hamnet" triumphed over the heavily favored "Sinners" to win Best Motion Picture – Drama. Actress Jessie Buckley also won for her role in "Hamnet," while Wagner Moura secured Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for "The Secret Agent."
Surprises and Television Triumphs
Despite being shut out of the major drama categories, Ryan Coogler's "Sinners" provided one of the night's genuine surprises by winning the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement award. It beat out blockbuster franchises like "Avatar: Fire and Ash" and "Zootopia 2," celebrated as the most original film among the nominees.
On the television side, HBO Max's medical thriller "The Pitt" won Best Television Series – Drama, with its star Noah Wyle winning Best Actor in a Drama Series. Netflix's "Adolescence" was named Best Limited Series or TV Movie, and Apple TV+'s "The Studio" won for Best Musical or Comedy Series.
