Everything you need to know about the 2026 Golden Globes
Amid shocking developments in Hollywood Takeover battle for Warner Bros Discovery And YouTube secures rights to stream Oscars starting in 2029 – The Golden Globes will be a chance to get back to what really matters during awards season.
We watch names like Leonardo DiCaprio, Julia Roberts, Timothée Chalamet, Ariana Grande and George Clooney dressing up. Seeing if the host can live up to the standards of Ricky Gervais, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler in years past. And I expect an exciting speech that captures that moment. Or, if that fails, there will be a spectacular meltdown.
According to one studio veteran, “Rumors about secret prizes and travels are dispelled.” The fact that the Globes are still under the relatively new Penske Media Eldridge management legitimizes them as Hollywood’s second-tier awards after the Oscars.
The encouraging news is that it’s been a strong year for film and television.
When do they happen?
The 83rd Globes will take place in Los Angeles on Sunday night, starting at noon AEST in Australia on Monday.
Who is hosting?
Comedian Nikki Glaser is hosting for the second year in a row, following the Jo Koy disaster three years ago. Glaser may not be as memorable as Gervais, Fey or Poehler, but she promises to be sharp and funny compared to last year, when she called the awards “Ozempic’s biggest night” and joked that the assembled stars could do anything “except tell the country who to vote for.”
While the topic of ICE is hot, we expect its writers to make jokes about Venezuela and Greenland.

They will be joined by Amanda Seyfried (nominated) Ann Lee’s Will)Macaulay Culkin, Orlando Bloom, Kevin Bacon, Jennifer Garner, Kevin Hart, Pamela Anderson, Chris Pine – take a deep breath, it’s a long list – Jason Bateman, Judd Apatow, Melissa McCarthy, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Zoe Kravitz and Snoop Dogg.

Two new faces unknown two months ago: Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie from ice hockey romance Heated Rivalries.
What’s up?
The stars will climb a grand staircase when they arrive Hollywood Reporter calls “Met Gala” A night long known as Hollywood’s biggest party.
There’s also a new award for best podcasting; candidates include: Have fun with Amy Poehler, Call His Father And SmartLess. They join awards for box office success and best stand-up comedian on TV, which were added two years ago.
Who are the Australians in the debate?
Jacob Elordi has two nominations for his supporting role in the film Frankenstein and lead role in limited series The Narrow Road to the Deep North.
Sarah Snook nominated for lead role in miniseries It’s All His Fault, and Rose Byrne in her leading role in the musical/comedy If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.
Australia also has two nominations for film; in drama. Train Dreams: Joel Edgerton won for the title role and Nick Cave won for best original song.
Byrne, Edgerton and Elordi are very likely to score breakthrough Oscar nominations in less than two weeks, so their Globes hopes are strong.
Byrne should definitely win because of his outstanding performance as a struggling psychotherapist. Edgerton, who plays a traveling logger and railroad worker, and Frankenstein’s creature Elordi have a good chance.Marty Supreme) and Stellan Skarsgard (Emotional Value) There must be relevant pioneers.
Snook was outstanding but Michelle Williams will probably have a hand too (Dying for Sex). Sorry Cave’s song Train Dreams There doesn’t seem to be much hope against Gold from K-Pop Demon Hunters.
Who will be the big winners?
One war after another It ranks first in film nominations with nine nominations, followed by Emotional Value with eight, sinners with seven, hamnet six and Frankenstein And Bad: For Good five each.
The favorite for the best comedy/musical film award: A War, step off the edge Marty Supreme. sinners It is still expected to win the best drama film award hamnet And Emotional Value They deserve it just as much.
on TV, White Lotus It continues to lead with six nominations. Puberty there are five and Just Murders in the Building And severance pay four each.
As a reward for creative creativity, two urgent dramas taking place in real time, Pitt And Puberty, should win the best series and limited series.
Are these a sign of who will win at the Oscars?
Significantly different voting consistencies and the Globes’ division into two film categories (drama and music/comedy) mean they’re not a reliable indicator of what will happen at the Oscars.
But this will be a chance for a movie or actor to gain momentum during awards season.
What’s always interesting to watch is whose Globes acceptance speech is carefully timed to win over Oscar voters. There’s no doubt that such a strategy has worked well for Michelle Yeoh and Demi Moore in recent years.
Sometimes the Globes are a journey rather than a destination.
