‘Adolescence’ and ‘One Battle After Another’ lead the Golden Globes 2026 winners, with ‘Hamnet’ winning the Best Film – Drama award.
The winners of the 83rd Golden Globes have now been revealed in a ceremony hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser in Los Angeles.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another led the film category, securing four awards, including Best Film – Musical or Comedy and Best Director. It faced stiff competition from Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet, which took home the Best Film – Drama award, while Sinners, The Secret Agent, and the animated hit KPop Demon Hunters also walked away with multiple wins.
In the television categories, Netflix’s Adolescence dominated the field with four wins, including Best Limited Series. Spotlight members Stephen Graham, Erin Doherty and Owen Cooper were recognised for their incredible performances in the show, with Owen Cooper becoming the second youngest Golden Globe winner – an impressive follow-up to his historic Emmy win last year.
Other TV winners on the night were the Pittsburgh-set drama The Pitt and Seth Rogen’s The Studio, both of which secured two awards each.
