The 83rd Golden Globe Awards, held on January 11, 2026, delivered a night of cinematic history, marked by a stunning upset in the Drama category and a total sweep by one of Hollywood's most acclaimed directors. Hosted by Nikki Glaser for the second year in a row, the ceremony solidified the 2026 award season's frontrunners.
Hamnet Pulls Off the Upset of the Year
In the night's most talked-about moment, Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet
claimed the trophy for Best Motion Picture – Drama. While Ryan Coogler’s
Sinners had been the heavy favorite leading into the night, Zhao’s
intimate Shakespearean tragedy—produced by Steven Spielberg—won over the
voters.
The film's momentum was bolstered by Jessie Buckley,
who won Best Actress in a Drama for her devastating portrayal of Agnes
Hathaway. In her acceptance speech, Buckley praised the "extraordinary
vulnerability" required to bring the story of Shakespeare’s lost son to
life.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s Historic Sweep
While Hamnet took the drama prize, Paul Thomas
Anderson’s One Battle After Another was the night’s overall dominant
force. The film took home:
- Best
Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy
- Best
Director (Paul Thomas Anderson)
- Best
Screenplay (Paul Thomas Anderson)
- Best
Supporting Actress (Teyana Taylor)
Anderson became only the second filmmaker in Golden Globes
history to sweep the Director, Screenplay, and Picture (as a producer)
categories in a single night.
