The 2026 Golden Globes kicked awards season into higher gear Sunday night.
Surprise wins included Teyana Taylor’s One Battle After Another victory of Best Female Supporting Actor over Amy Madigan for Weapons and Chloe Zhao’s Globe win for Hamnet, which beat Sinners for Best Motion Picture – Drama, the last award of the night. Director Zhao was stunned and speechless for a bit before Spielberg handed the mike over to her.

One Battle After Another swept in most categories, beating out the screenplay for Sinners by Ryan Coogler. Some thought the vote might split the films between Best Director and Best Screenplay. Frankenstein, on the other hand, walked away with zero awards.

Snub – Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Frankenstein

Wicked: For Good also walked away from the 83rd Golden Globes without any trophies. Its predecessor Wicked won the Golden Globe for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement in 2025. Stars Ariana Grande and Colman Domingo were present, but Cynthia Erivo was absent.
Snub – Yorgos Lanthimos’ ‘Bugonia’ Starring Emma Stone
Yorgos Lanthimos films have success in the past at Globes especially if Emma Stone is involved. But even after landing a number of SAG nominations, Globes voters weren’t as high on the director’s sci fi comedy this go-around.
