All that glitters is golden.
The 2026 Golden Globes had been on Sunday, Jan. 11, hosted by Nikki Glaser (8 p.m. on CBS and streaming on Paramount+). The comic, 41, was internet hosting for the second 12 months in a row, on the Beverly Hilton in California.

Hollywood’s greatest stars all got here out, together with Jennifer Lawrence, Julia Roberts, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke, Adam Scott, Jacob Elordi and Timothee Chalamet.
Right here’s how the evening panned out, in greatest and worst moments.
Greatest: The opening monologue
Glaser kicked the evening off with a powerhouse monologue. She had just a few political jokes, poking on the Epstein information (“By A-listers, I imply individuals who have been on a list that has been closely redacted”), and a jab at Leonardo DiCaprio’s courting habits of solely seeing ladies underneath 30. Glaser acknowledged that the joke wasn’t unique, and advised the “One Battle After One other” actor that she “tried to not” make that joke, “however we don’t know anything about you man!” and joked that the one different private reality DiCaprio has revealed is from a 1991 Teen Beat Journal interview the place he mentioned his favourite meals was “pasta.”
The comic additionally roasted Sean Penn: “Everybody on this city is obsessive about trying youthful, in the meantime Sean Penn is like, ‘What if I slowly morph into an attractive leather-based purse.’” Steve Martin and Martin Quick additionally weren’t spared from her mockery (they show that you’re “by no means too previous to nonetheless want cash!”). All in all, it was a hilarious monologue that saved it mild and included a stable mix of softball roasting and sharp jabs.
Worst: The ‘Marty Supreme’ track bit
In the midst of the present, Glaser got here out onstage for a bit known as, “Okay-pong Demon Hunters,” a track that was supposedly combining “Okay-Pop Demon Hunters” with “Marty Supreme.” Off-key, the host proceeded to strut round singing a track that went on too lengthy, with pointless lyrics like, “I’m right here singing!” Fran Drescher got here out to interrupt her, and threatened to oust Glaser from the SAG union. (When Glaser identified that she was now not president, Drescher mentioned, “I get one free kill, honey!”) Regardless of “The Nanny” actress salvaging the second and getting fun out of it, the bit was nonetheless a pointless time-waster.
Greatest: Teyana Taylor’s first win
Taylor, 35, took residence the trophy for greatest actress in a film — drama, for “One Battle After One other.” Shocked and overcome with emotion at her first win, the actress and former singer cried, and stammered that she almost didn’t write a speech. To maintain it cheeky — actually — and earn the Globes repute for being the “enjoyable” ceremony (in comparison with the uptight Oscars), she additionally circled onstage to indicate off her gown, which had a lower out within the again dipping to her derriere. “Wait until you see my celebration within the again!” she mentioned. A cultured second? Not precisely, however that sort of saucy chaos is what the Golden Globes are for.
Worst: Bobby Cannavale prioritizing reptiles over the Globes
When Rose Byrne took residence the trophy for greatest efficiency by a feminine actor in a movement image — musical or comedy (for “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You”), the Australian actress gave a shoutout to her husband, Bobby Cannavale. It turned out he missed the ceremony for an completely weird purpose. “And I need thank my husband Bobby Cannavale. He couldn’t be right here as a result of we’re getting a bearded dragon and he went to a reptile expo in New Jersey,” Byrne mentioned. Apparently, Cannavale would moderately spend time with reptiles than go to the ceremony. Go determine.
Greatest: Owen Cooper’s speech
“Adolescence” star Owen Cooper, 16, who gained for greatest actor in a TV collection — drama, gave a cute speech the place he mentioned he’s nonetheless “simply an apprentice” at performing, and “nonetheless studying each day.” When Cooper took residence an Emmy for a similar function earlier within the 12 months, he grew to become the youngest male performer to win the prize. In his humorous speech that was absolutely relatable to each actor, the teenage winner recalled going to drama courses the place, “I used to be the one boy there, it was embarrassing!”
Greatest : The bit mocking the “greatest podcasts” class
Since that is the Globes’ inaugural 12 months with the most effective podcast class, Glaser did a bit poking enjoyable at podcasts. Sitting in her automobile, with faux-soothing voiceover, the comic mentioned, “We come to this place for magic.” (After all, that was a tackle Nicole Kidman’s notorious AMC film adverts.) She proceeded to play clips of the “Smartless” hosts having an inane dialogue about cookies, and mocked podcasts’ behavior of getting “inappropriate” advert copy interjecting at odd moments. Glaser ended the bit saying, “Podcasts, they’re simply … what now we have, now.” An apt introduction for a foolish class.
Worst: Adam Scott shedding
Noah Wyle took residence the trophy for greatest efficiency by a male actor in a tv collection – drama. His win was expected, as he took residence the Emmy and Critics Selection award weeks earlier than the Globes. And Wyle’s efficiency was good. Nonetheless, it cements the truth that Scott did large work in “Severance” Season 2 — at one level, taking part in two totally different variations of his character, having a dialog with himself! Enjoying a physician on a medical drama is sweet, nevertheless it’s not that stage. Scott has formally walked away from this awards season empty-handed, after delivering top-of-the-line TV performances of the 12 months. That’s not cool.
Greatest: ‘Heated Rivalry’ takes heart stage
Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams, the newly well-known stars of “Heated Rivalry” — the homosexual hockey romance that got here out of nowhere to turn into certainly one of HBO Max’s most-watched reveals of 2025 — offered an award collectively. Of their onstage banter, Storrie mentioned that he was nervous, so Williams suggested him to “simply image everybody within the viewers – you already know,” nodding to the previous adage of picturing everybody bare. Referencing their copious intercourse scenes, Storrie mentioned, “I don’t actually know if that works, contemplating everybody has seen us … you already know.” After questioning aloud if everybody within the viewers watched “Heated Rivalry,” the 2 actors identified that “their trainers, mothers and daughters have.” It was a cute second and a pleasant Globes debut for the 2 younger stars who discovered themselves within the highlight in a single day.
Greatest: Wagner Moura makes historical past
Moura, 49, grew to become the primary Brazilian to win greatest actor in a movement image – drama for “The Secret Agent.” In his speech, the previous “Narcos” star (who was snubbed by the Actor awards, previously SAG) thanked his household, made a number of remarks in Portuguese and mentioned in English, “This movie is about generational trauma. I believe if trauma will be handed alongside generations, values can, too.”
