83rd Golden Globes

The 83rd Golden Globes was an awards ceremony that honored excellence in film and American television productions of 2025. The winners were revealed during the live telecast, airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+ on January 11, 2026, at the Beverly Hilton. Nikki Glaser returned to host for the second consecutive year.

The nominations were announced on December 8, 2025, by actors Skye P. Marshall and Marlon Wayans. For the first time, the Globes honored podcasts in the Best Podcast category. With a leading 9 nominations, including five for acting, One Battle After Another became the 6th film of any genre to receive at least one acting bid across the four acting categories in the event's history. Sentimental Value received the second-most in film with 8 nominations, followed by Sinners with 7. Additionally, The White Lotus led the television nominations with 6, followed by Adolescence with 5.

Ceremony information

On March 13, 2025, comedian Nikki Glaser was announced as the host for the 2026 ceremony, returning after hosting the previous year's ceremony, and following the rave reviews from critics and unanimous praise from audiences worldwide. This year, Glaser, yet again, received critical acclaim for her monologue and performance overall.

The nominations for all 28 categories were unveiled on December 8, 2025, starting at 8:15 a.m. ET/5:15 a.m. PT on CBSNews.com, with 11 categories revealed at 8:30 a.m. ET/5:30 a.m. PT on CBS Mornings. The announcement also streamed live on the CBS News YouTube and TikTok channels. Skye P. Marshall and Marlon Wayans announced the nominees at a press conference at the Beverly Hilton. Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner of White Cherry Entertainment returned as executive producing showrunners, while Dick Clark Productions planned, hosted and produced the show.

The ceremony was held at the Beverly Hilton in California, and was broadcast on CBS and streamed on Paramount+ on January 11, 2026, from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET. The U.S. audit, tax, and advisory firm of KPMG once again tabulated the votes, having taken over Ernst & Young since the previous year's ceremony.

"Golden Eve"

After being untelevised in the previous year, the two Lifetime Achievement Awards (the Cecil B. DeMille Award and the Carol Burnett Award) were presented during an hour-long primetime special, titled "Golden Eve", which aired on January 8, 2026 (though the event took place two days before broadcast), also at the Beverly Hilton, on CBS at 8 p.m. PT/ET and also livestreamed on Paramount+ Premium. Paramount+ Essential subscribers were not able to watch the event live; however, they were able to access it on demand the following day. The Cecil B. DeMille Award was presented to Helen Mirren, with the Carol Burnett Award given to Sarah Jessica Parker. Harrison Ford presented Mirren with her Cecil B. DeMille Award, with a guest appearance made by last year's honoree Viola Davis; Parker was joined by the Carol Burnett Award previous year's winner Ted Danson. According to entertainment news website Showbiz411, the special had a ratings of 2 million viewers.

Expansion

On May 7, 2025, it was announced that a new category would be added to the then-upcoming ceremony: Best Podcast. Nominees were chosen from a list of 25 most-listened-to podcasts "that have made a significant impact over the past year, celebrating the creativity and influence of creators worldwide," the organization announced. The Top 25 list for eligibility was determined by direct data from top podcast platforms, such as Apple, Spotify and YouTube, among others; the list of podcasts eligible for submission was revealed on October 2. However, the decision for the new category ignited debate and controversy among creators and the industry.

After the nominations were announced, controversy diminished once it was known that right-wing conservative podcasters were shut out completely and mostly comedy stars, such as Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, Amy Poehler and Dax Shepard, as well as podcaster Alex Cooper, were nominated for their respective podcasts. Helen Hoehne, president of the Golden Globes, said that the original list of 25, which was compiled by Luminate, reflects the "depth, diversity, and creativity thriving in the podcasting world today" and the Globes are "proud" to be the "first major entertainment award to recognize this medium". However, there was still some criticism leading up to the ceremony. Ultimately, Poehler's Good Hang with Amy Poehler won the award, becoming the inaugural recipient of the category.

Reduction

On January 9, 2026, Deadline Hollywood reported that the presentation of the award for Best Original Score would be cut from the telecast as a result of time constraints. The winner was announced during the ceremony, but instead of being seen on CBS' linear broadcast, it was publicly revealed online; a clip of the win was captured and shared digitally, including with media and was distributed across all Globes platforms as well as the Golden Globes website. The decision was criticized by social media users and nominee Hans Zimmer, with the latter calling it "ignorant".
