2026 Golden Globes winners: See the full list as Timothée Chalamet takes Oscars lead, The Pitt, The Studio score TV wins

Nikki Glaser returned to host the Golden Globes, where Jessie Buckley, Teyana Taylor, and “One Battle After Another” made Academy Awards headway as “Adolescence” dominated TV winners.

The 2026 Golden Globes winners have boosted front-running contenders in an awards season already filled with Hollywood excellence.

Hosted by returning comedian Nikki Glaser, Sunday’s Golden Globes ceremony was the latest awards show to clear a path toward the Oscars, as the Globes’ film winners often go on to score follow-up nominations (and even wins) at the Academy Awards.

This year, Timothée Chalamet (Marty Supreme) saw perhaps the biggest individual boost ahead of the upcoming Oscar nominations, winning Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy over his biggest Oscar competition, Leonardo DiCaprio (One Battle After Another).

Other big film winners included the Oscars’ current Best Actress frontrunner, Jessie Buckley (Hamnet), and other leading-performance champions like Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I’d Kick You) and Wagner Moura (The Secret Agent). supporting performances by Teyana Taylor (One Battle After Another) and Stellan Skarsgård (Sentimental Value) also triumphed at the Globes, cementing those performers in the wider Academy Awards race, too.

Hamnet and One Battle After Another also eventually won Best Motion Picture — Drama and Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy, respectively.

Though the Globes are often a foreteller of which films and performances will be nominated at the Oscars, both of the Globes’ 2025 Best Motion Picture winners in the dramatic (The Brutalist) and comedy/musical (Emilia Pérez) categories lost the Best Picture Oscar to Anora last year— though three acting winners Adrien Brody (The Brutalist), Zoe Saldaña (Emilia Pérez), and Kieran Culkin (A Real Pain) won both the Golden Globe and the Academy Award that year.

On the television side, popular shows like The Pitt, and The Studio won big at the Golden Globes, with Noah Wyle winning for his dramatic performance in the medical series, while Seth Rogen earned a Globe for his work in the streaming comedy.

Among TV programs, though, Netflix‘s Adolescence won the most individual awards, with four overall category wins (including for performances by Stephen Graham, Erih Doherty, and Owen Cooper).

Elsewhere, the Globes introduced a new competitive category at the 2026 show, with the group unveiling its first-ever set of Best Podcast nominees late last year. Contenders included Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard, Alex Cooper‘s Call Her Daddy, The Mel Robbins Podcast, SmartLess (cohosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett), and NPR’s Up First, with Good Hang With Amy Poehler ultimately taking the first award.
