Golden Globes 2026 live updates: Red carpet fashion, Nikki Glaser‘s opening monologue, Aussie Rose Byrne wins

One Battle After Another emerged as the clear winner of the Golden Globes, picking up a raft of major awards including the gongs for best comedy film, best director and best screenplay fpr Paul Thomas Anderson and best supporting actress for Teyana Taylor.

The Anderson-made, Leonardo DiCaprio-starring film is surely the one now to beat at the Oscars.

Hamnet was also a prominent victor, picking up a far-from-assured victory in the best drama race, besting Sinners and The Secret Agent, while lead star Jessie Buckley won for best actress in a drama film.

But it wasn’t a clean sweep for either film and the high-profile acting awards were shared around between various movies, which made for a more interesting ceremony.

Australian Rose Byrne won the comedy actress Globe, for her darkly comic performance in the stressful film If I Had Legs I’d Kick You while Timothee Chalamet cemented his status as the one to beat at the Oscars with a win for Marty Supreme, also in the comedy film category.

On the drama side, Brazilian actor Wagner Moura won for The Secret Agent while his film also claimed the gong for non-English language film.

Stellan Skarsgard won in the best supporting actor category for Norwegian drama Sentimental Value.

Cultural sensation KPop Demon Hunter took home animated feature and original song for the ditty that has been stuck in everyone’s heads for months, Golden.

Another favourite going in, Sinners, had to make do with wins in original score and the cinematic and box office achievement categories.

On the TV side, British miniseries Adolescence continued to sweep the circuit, claiming best limited series, while The Pitt and its lead star Noah Wyle won in drama and The Studio and its star and co-creator Seth Rogen nabbed the comedy awards.
