Here's Everything You Missed At The 2026 Golden Globe Awards

The 2026 Golden Globe Awards aired on CBS on Sunday night.

Comedian and actor Nikki Glaser returned to host the star-studded ceremony, which honors some of the best and brightest in TV, film and podcasting from 2025. Glaser didn’t pull any punches in her opening monologue, blasting CBS News, roasting Leonardo DiCaprio and even throwing in an Epstein joke.

Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another,” which led the ceremony in film nominations with nine nods, won four awards, including Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy, Best Screenplay and Best Director. Teyana Taylor nabbed Best Performance By A Female Actor In A Supporting Role and gave an emotional speech at the top of the ceremony.

Netflix’s “Adolescence” won the most awards of any TV show, including Best Television - Limited Series. Stephen Graham, Owen Cooper and Erin Doherty all took home trophies for their performances.

Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” won the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement Award. Swedish musician and composer Ludwig Göransson, who has worked with Coogler on several projects, won Best Original Score.

The Golden Globes introduced a new category this year: Best Podcast. “Good Hang with Amy Poehler,” which launched on Spotify in 2025, triumphed.

‘Sinners’ Took Some Tough Losses At The Golden Globes And Folks Are Pissed

The 2026 Golden Globes were shaping up to be a big night for “Sinners”… then things went downhill.

While the horror smash took home awards for Best Original Score and Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, it suffered some tough losses in its major nominated categories, including Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Original Song, Best Male Actor in a Drama (which would’ve been Michael B. Jordan’s first Golden Globe win) and Best Picture - Drama.

Folks online were not happy.

Reactions ranged from confusion to anger over “Sinners” getting beaten by films like “One Battle After Another,” “KPop Demon Hunters” and “Hamnet.” For the film to be one of the most-talked-about of 2025, its Golden Globe turnout sure didn’t reflect that.

There’s still hope that “Sinners” will make out better at the Oscars (nominations will be announced later this month). But for now, fans of the movie are seething over what they felt were some unfair defeats:
