The Golden Globe Awards will host unforgettable moments at the 2026 ceremony, making it a memorable event for audiences and awards committees alike.
The 2026 Golden Globes: A Night of Historic Wins, Powerful Speeches, and Unforgettable MomentsLast night, Hollywood's elite gathered at the 83rd Golden Globes ceremony, and what a night it was! The star-studded event, hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser for the second year in a row, was filled with historic wins, powerful speeches, and moments that will be etched in our memories forever.
As we all know, the Golden Globes are more than just an awards ceremony – they're a celebration of excellence in film and television. And this year's event did not disappoint. The night kicked off with Glaser's opening monologue, which was equal parts hilarious and thought-provoking. She poked fun at the A-listers in attendance, joking that "by A-list I do mean 'a list that has been heavily redacted.'" But what really got our attention was her tongue-in-cheek award for Best Editing to the Justice Department, referencing the recent controversy surrounding the Epstein files.
Glaser's humor and wit set the tone for the rest of the night, which was filled with memorable moments. One of the most emotional moments came when Teyana Taylor accepted her award for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture for her role in "One Battle After Another." Her speech was a powerful reminder that our softness is not a liability, and that our light does not need permission to shine. We were all left feeling inspired and motivated after hearing her words.
But the Golden Globes are also about politics, and this year's event did not shy away from tackling some of the toughest issues facing our world today. Several stars attended the ceremony wearing pins protesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a powerful statement that echoed throughout the night. Jean Smart, who won Best Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in "Hacks," wore a "BE GOOD" pin in honor of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by an ICE agent last week in Minneapolis. Her words were simple yet profound: "Let's all do the right thing." We couldn't agree more.
The night also saw some historic wins, including the first-ever award for Best Podcast, which went to Amy Poehler's "Good Hang With Amy Poehler." Poehler's acceptance speech was a heartfelt reminder that even in these uncertain times, we can still find love and laughter. She praised her fellow nominees, saying, "This is an attempt to try to make a very rough and unkind world filled with a little bit more love and laughter."
But what really made this year's Golden Globes stand out was the sense of community that filled the room. From Glaser's opening monologue to the stars' powerful speeches, it was clear that this was an event about more than just awards – it was about using our platforms to make a difference.
As we reflect on last night's ceremony, one thing is clear: the Golden Globes are not just an awards show – they're a celebration of excellence, creativity, and community. They remind us that even in these uncertain times, there is still so much good in this world. And as we look to the future, let's take a page from the Golden Globes playbook and strive to make our own mark on the world.
In conclusion, last night's 83rd Golden Globes ceremony was an unforgettable night of historic wins, powerful speeches, and moments that will be etched in our memories forever. As we move forward into this new year, let's remember the lessons we learned from this event: that our softness is not a liability, that our light does not need permission to shine, and that even in these uncertain times, there is still so much good in this world.
