Golden Globes 2026: Full list of winners
All of the winners and best moments at the 2026 Golden Globes, including major victories for "One Battle After Another," "Hamnet," and "Adolescence."
The 2026 Golden Globes crowned many expected winners Sunday night, including “One Battle After Another,” “Adolescence” and “The Pitt.” But the ceremony also provided some surprises that could signal a seismic shift in the run-up to the Oscars.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” and Ryan Coogler’s vampire thriller “Sinners” were widely expected to win the Best Picture Awards for Musical/Comedy and Drama, respectively. While “One Battle” triumphed, it was Chloe Zhao’s speculative Shakespearean drama “Hamnet” that took home the statuette for Best Drama, as well as a Best Actress award for Jessie Buckley.
Zhao seemed dazed by the win, walking unsteadily to the stage with her hand over her mouth. After allowing producer Steven Spielberg to take the first half of the acceptance speech, however, she stepped in to show her appreciation for Coogler, who she spent time with as a fellow student at Sundance Labs.

“As students, let’s keep our hearts open and let’s keep seeing each other and allowing each other to be seen,” Zhao said, as the camera cut to a smiling Coogler.
MORE GOLDEN GLOBES COVERAGE
Following several hours of pre-show red carpet coverage, the assembled crowd at the Beverly Hilton settled in for an entertaining evening from Nikki Glaser, the comedian whose fame reached another level after her appearance on the Tom Brady roast.
Glaser, hosting her second consecutive Golden Globes ceremony, skewered everyone from CBS News (or “See BS News,” as she put it) to “One Battle” stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn in her opening monologue.

“You know, everyone in this town is obsessed with looking younger,” Glaser said. “Meanwhile, Sean Penn is like, ‘What if I slowly morph into a sexy leather handbag?'”
If there were occasional surprises in the movie categories, the television awards were pretty straightforward. Most of the winners from the 2025 Emmys in September repeated their success, including Noah Wyle in “The Pitt,” Jean Smart in “Hacks,” Owen Cooper in “Adolescence,” and a best comedy series win for “The Studio.”
One local celeb who tasted victory in the first hour of the telecast was Burlington native Amy Poehler, who won the first-ever Best Podcast award for her Ringer show, “Good Hang with Amy Poehler.”
The Burlington native thanked her executive producer, Ringer founder Bill Simmons, and let her parents know that they could “watch the Patriots” now that she had won.
