Golden Globes 2026: Hamnet wins best picture

The 83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards were held on January 11, 2026, at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, honouring the best in film and television from 2025. Hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser for the second consecutive year, the ceremony marked one of the first major stops of the 2026 awards season and was broadcast live on CBS and Paramount+.

This year’s Globes reflected the industry’s shifting landscape, with auteur-driven cinema, global storytelling and new media formats sharing the spotlight. Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another emerged as a major contender across film categories, while The White Lotus dominated television nominations.

For Indian audiences, the evening featured a high-profile appearance by Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who attended the ceremony with Nick Jonas and took the stage as a presenter, underscoring her continued presence in global entertainment even as Indian films remained outside the competitive winner list this year.
