The 2026 Golden Globes delivered sharp comedy, emotional wins, and awkward misfires, as Hollywood kept things light with standout moments, strange experiments, and plenty to debate from awards season’s first major night.
WEBDESK – Imran Malik – January 113, 2026
The 83rd Golden Globe Awards were slick, fast-moving, and largely entertaining, delivering sharp comedy, emotional wins, and a few head-scratching misfires. While the night avoided major political statements, it offered plenty to talk about. Here is a clear look at the best, bad, and worst moments from Hollywood’s first major awards show of 2026.
The Best Moments
Nikki Glaser proves she owns the Globes
Nikki Glaser returned as host and once again set the tone with a fearless, joke-packed monologue. From roasting Leonardo DiCaprio’s dating history to poking fun at corporate media and Hollywood vanity, Glaser balanced edge with charm and kept the show moving.
Teyana Taylor’s emotional first win
Teyana Taylor delivered one of the night’s most powerful moments after winning her first Golden Globe. Visibly stunned, she dedicated her award to young girls of color, reminding them they belong in every room they enter.
Sinners wins big with audiences
Ryan Coogler’s Sinners taking home the Audience Award validated the risky, genre-blending film. Coogler’s humble speech acknowledged the gamble behind the project and earned strong applause.
Seth Rogen finally gets his moment
Seth Rogen’s win for The Studio felt long overdue. True to form, he blended self-deprecating humor with heartfelt thanks, turning his acceptance speech into one of the night’s highlights.
The Bad Moments
Experimental broadcast ideas miss the mark
Live “play-by-play” commentary from the sidelines, inspired by sports broadcasts, failed to add value. Instead of energy, it created distraction and confusion during key moments.
Timothée Chalamet’s underwhelming speech
After years of nominations, Chalamet’s win should have been electric. Instead, his low-energy acceptance speech felt oddly flat compared to his high-profile, flamboyant public persona.
The Worst Moments
The UFC skit that went nowhere
One of the night’s most baffling segments featured a sudden UFC-style entrance complete with flashing lights and fighters who appeared, then quickly disappeared. The bit landed with confusion rather than laughs.
The most bizarre excuse of the night
When Rose Byrne revealed that her partner Bobby Cannavale skipped the Globes to attend a reptile expo in New Jersey, it instantly became the night’s most WTF moment. Memorable, yes, but unintentionally so.
Final Take
The 2026 Golden Globes largely succeeded by staying light, fast, and funny, even if a few experiments backfired. With strong hosting, heartfelt wins, and minimal downtime, the ceremony proved that awards shows can still entertain, even when they choose escapism over commentary.
