The Herald brings you all the latest coverage from one of 2026’s biggest nights in TV and film: The 83rd Annual Golden Globes. Follow along for live award updates, fashion, and all the red-carpet action happening at The Beverley Hilton Hotel.

The Film and TV awards season is in full swing, and many of Hollywood’s best and brightest are out to capitalise on their earlier achievements at the Critics’ Choice Awards on January 4 with a follow-up Golden Globe.

Early TV award wins indicate that we could see last year’s favourites continue their dominance.

ER alumni Noah Wyle continued his winning streak after last year’s Emmy awards, once again claiming Best Actor in a Drama Series for his HBO medical drama The Pitt. Industry veteran Jean Smart also staked her claim as a triple threat, winning the Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy Series a third time for her show Hacks.

Newcomer, 16-year-old Owen Cooper, also followed on from his wins last year for his portrayal of a child accused of murder in the Netflix drama Adolescence. It was a clean sweep for the rest of the actors on the show as well, with Stephen Graham winning Best Actor and Erin Doherty Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series.

On the film front, early indicators pointed to Paul Thomas Anderson’s hit One Battle After Another as top contender.

Anderson’s crackpot revolutionary film itself is one that pundits have consistently favoured to scoop a barrage of globes, with performances by Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, Chase Infiniti, and Teyana Taylor. Taylor went on to win the first award of the night for Supporting Actress in a film. Anderson won Best Screenplay and Best Director for his work on the film.

Five-time nominee Timothée Chalamet finally nabbed a win for his ping pong player portrayal in Josh Safdie’s comedy sports drama Marty Supreme. He thanked his partner of three years, socialite Kylie Jenner, in his speech.

Vampire prohibition thriller Sinners won the Box Office and Cinematic Achievement Award as well as Best Score. Commentators were quick to point out the discourse of “Box Office Achievement” as the film only opened at USD$60 million, despite costing $90 million to make.

First-time nominee Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson might also have a shot at his first ever globe, for playing tortured wrestler Mark Kerr in the sporting drama The Smashing Machine.

Comedian Nikki Glaser also returns to host the awards after her successful first endeavour at last year’s event.
