Golden Globes 2026 winners list: ‘Adolescence,’ ‘One Battle After Another’ take home trophies

The 2026 Golden Globe Awards kicked off Hollywood’s awards season, honouring the year’s best in film and TV.

The 83rd Golden Globe Awards ceremony was hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, who opened her monologue by saying, “The Golden Globes: without a doubt the most important thing that’s happening in the world right now!” She followed it with “we’ll start the bidding for Warner Bros. at $5.”

Oscar frontrunner One Battle After Another led all nominees with nine, and took home four major awards including best motion picture – musical or comedy.

Teyana Taylor broke down in tears accepting her first-ever Golden Globe for her supporting role in One Battle After Another. She thanked her family, her cast and crew and spoke directly to the “little brown girls watching tonight.”

“Our softness is not a liability. Our depth is not too much. Our light does not need permission to shine,” she said. “We belong in every room we walk into. Our voices matter and our dreams deserve space.”

Thomas Anderson won best screenplay and best director – motion picture for One Battle After Another in the film’s second and third wins of the night.

“When it gets off the page and the actors start saying it, that’s when it gets great,” Thomas Anderson said as he accepted his first award.

Netflix’s Adolescence also took home four awards at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards, including best television limited series, anthology series or motion picture made for television.

Adolescence star Owen Cooper, 16, won the award for best performance by a male actor in a supporting role on television, becoming the youngest ever to win the category.

“Wow, standing here with a Golden Globe, it does not feel real whatsoever,” he said. “What an incredible journey me and my family have been put through. We are forever grateful for what these people have done for me and my family.”

Cooper’s castmates Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty also won awards for their performances in the series.

Timothée Chalamet took home the award for best performance by a male actor in a motion picture – musical or comedy for his role in Marty Supreme.

He thanked his father for teaching him gratitude, saying, “It’s allowed me to leave this ceremony in the past, empty handed, my head held high, grateful to just be here. I’d be lying if I didn’t say those moments didn’t make this moment that much sweeter.”

Canadians made a strong showing at this year’s Golden Globes, with Korean-Canadian director Maggie Kang winning best animated feature for her debut film KPop Demon Hunters.

Kang said “through this film we really wanted to depict female characters the way that we know women, which is really strong and bold, really silly and weird, really hungry for food and sometimes really thirsty.”

She also thanked “everyone who believed that a movie so deeply rooted in Korean culture could resonate with a global audience.”

Canadian Seth Rogen accepted the award for best performance by an actor in a television series, musical or comedy.

“We just pretended to do this and now it’s happening,” Rogen said as he accepted the Golden Globe from Zoe Kravitz and Dave Franco, who performed alongside him in The Studio.

Rogen thanked his fellow nominees and called out Only Murders in the Building stars Steve Martin and Martin Short. “I remember growing up watching you guys, my whole life thinking, ‘One day I’m going to beat them,’” he joked. “I did not think that.”
