Golden Globes 2026
The golden globe awards are annual accolades honouring film and television greatness for the year. They cover 28 categories including directors, acting performances, screenplays, movies and tv series. Winners are chosen by 300 international entertainment journalists, and the awards are presented by industry professionals.
The best motion picture was separated into four groups: drama, musical or comedy, animated, and non-English language. The nominees for drama were Frankenstein, It Was Just An Accident, Sentimental Value, Sinners, and The Secret Agent, but it was Hamnet which was granted the award. Staring Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal, the film tells the dramatised story of William Shakespeare and his wife tragically losing their son. As well as winning the golden globe, it received 4.2 stars out of 5 on https://letterboxd.com and 8.1/10 on https://m.imdb.com
The musical or comedy nominations were Blue Moon, Begonia, Marty Supreme, No Other Choice, and Vouvelle Vague, with the globe being awarded to One Battle After Another. The drama/action thriller starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Teyana Taylor but was criticized for the large production budget and underwhelming viewing experience.
Kpop Demon Hunters stormed the film industry, gaining quick popularity around the world with the songs topping multiple major charts. The animated musical was granted Golden Globes for two major categories: best song (Golden) and best animated film.
The nominees for best actress in a drama were Jennifer Lawrence, Renate Reinsve, Tessa Thompson, Eva Victor and Julia Roberts with Jessie Buckley taking the title for her role in Hamnet. For best actor, Joel Edgerton, Oscar Issac, Dwayne Johnson, Michael B Jordan, and Jeremy Allen White were nominated, and it was Wagner Moura in The Secret Agent who was awarded the Globe.
Heated Rivalry stars Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams presented the award for best supporting female actor in a TV series. The Golden Globes was the pair’s first major red carpet awards show appearance after their quick rise to fame following the popularity of the show.
This year’s show was attended by many A-list celebrities including George Clooney, Kylie Jenner, Jacob Elordi, Margot Robbie, Ariana Grande, and Sydney Sweeney, who walked the first red carpet of the year dressed glamorously in luxury fashion brands such as Giorgio Armani, Givenchy, Chanel and Prada.
