What is the story about?
Golden Globes 2026 winners list: The 83rd Golden Globe Awards delivered drama, celebration and a few sharp laughs as Hollywood gathered in Beverly Hills
on Sunday, January 11, 2026. Broadcast live on CBS and Paramount+, the ceremony honoured achievements across film, television and podcasts, marking a notably expansive year for the Globes.
Host Nikki Glaser returned for a confident second outing and set the tone early with a bold monologue. She took playful jabs at stars in the room and didn’t spare the network either. One of the most talked-about moments came when she quipped to Leonardo DiCaprio, “The most impressive thing [about your career] is that you were able to accomplish all of that before your girlfriend turned 30.” The humour landed, and the room leaned in.
