The 83rd Golden Globes ceremony kicked off the 2026 awards season in style, with comedian Nikki Glaser returning as host. Her sharp wit and sassy humor set the tone for a lively evening that saw numerous memorable moments.
Glaser's monologue was filled with jokes about celebrities' physical appearance, endorsement deals, and even the Justice Department's redactions of Epstein files. However, what really stood out was her heartfelt tribute to women, particularly "Brown sisters and little Brown girls watching tonight." Her words carried weight as she emphasized their importance in every room they entered.
Other highlights included Teyana Taylor's emotional acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for "One Battle After Another," where she expressed the significance of softness, depth, and light. The actress also addressed her own experiences as a Black woman, reassuring viewers that their voices matter and deserve space.
Meanwhile, Jean Smart took home the award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series for "Hacks" while wearing a "BE GOOD" pin in honor of Renee Good, the woman killed by an ICE agent last week. Her words carried weight, as she urged everyone to do the right thing.
The ceremony also saw Wanda Sykes and Mark Ruffalo sporting pins protesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), sending a powerful message against discriminatory practices.
A new award was introduced this year: Best Podcast. Amy Poehler took home the win for "Good Hang With Amy Poehler," praising her fellow nominees while poking fun at NPR.
K-pop fans were thrilled to see "Golden" from "KPop Demon Hunters" take home the award for Best Original Song, with Ejae crediting music as a source of strength in the face of adversity. The film also won Best Animated Motion Picture and was nominated for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement.
The evening ended on a lighthearted note, courtesy of Snoop Dogg, who briefly censored himself while presenting an award. Teyana Taylor and Erin Doherty also had their words cut off as they accepted awards for Ricky Gervais.
Finally, Julia Roberts received a standing ovation when presenting the final award, prompting George Clooney to joke that he didn't receive such treatment due to his own reputation.
