The 83rd Annual Golden Globes delivered a blend of Hollywood excellence and pointed political commentary, marked by an unprecedented number of first-time honorees and winners who used their platforms to address the state of the country.
The awards ceremony took place Sunday, Jan. 11, 2026, airing live on CBS and streaming on Paramount+ from The Beverly Hilton.
Returning for her second year as host, comedian and actress Nikki Glaser set an outspoken tone early in the evening. Her monologue included sharp jabs at A-list attendees, joking that some were “possibly on a list,” a nod to the controversial Epstein files. She also mockingly “awarded” the Golden Globe for Best Editing to the U.S. Justice Department and later criticized CBS News’ coverage of current events, dubbing the network “See-BS News.”
Actor Mark Ruffalo used his red carpet appearance to voice deep concern over the current political climate. He referenced the Jan. 7 shooting of Renee Good in Minnesota by an ICE agent, telling E! Entertainment’s Kevin Frazier that he could not “fake” having a good time in the wake of what he called a senseless murder. Ruffalo later told USA Today that former President Donald Trump was the “worst human alive,” explaining that his lapel pin was worn in memoriam of “people in the United States who are terrorized and scared today. I am one of them.”
As the evening continued, political commentary gave way to emotional moments of celebration and gratitude.
Teyana Taylor Makes History with First Golden Globe Win
Actress and singer Teyana Taylor won her first Golden Globe for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture for her role in One Battle After Another.
Fighting back tears, Taylor dedicated her award to her “brown brothers and little brown girls.”
“None of this is taken lightly, and none of this is taken for granted,” she said, before briefly being censored as she added, “Oh my God, this s— is heavy.” She went on to thank her castmates, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, Chase Infiniti, and Regina Hall, as well as “every single person who has touched this project.”
She concluded her emotional speech with a powerful message, “And last, but most importantly, to my brown sisters and little brown girls watching tonight: our softness is not a liability. Our depth is not too much. Our light does not need permission to shine. We belong in every room we walk into. Our voices matter, and our dreams deserve space.”
More Than a Win: Coogler Credits the Community
Sinners earned two Golden Globes, including Best Original Score and the award for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, a relatively new award, as the category was introduced in 2024. Director Ryan Coogler used the moment to spotlight the collective effort of support for the film.
“I just want to thank the audience for showing up,” Coogler said. “This movie was made by hundreds of people. We don’t always work in the film business wearing tuxedos and looking glammed up — it’s usually a grind. We’re in performance fishing gear, out in the swamps.”
He continued, reflecting on the film’s theatrical release. “It was an honor to know this movie would be seen in theaters. During the dog days of summer in New Orleans, we kept reminding ourselves, ‘Hey, this is a big movie. People are going to see this.’ We didn’t know if they would, so to know they showed up means the world to us.”
