The 83rd Golden Globe Awards ceremony, held in 2026, was dominated by two major productions, each securing an impressive haul of four trophies. The film 'One Battle After Another' and the hit Netflix television drama 'Adolescence' emerged as the night's biggest winners, setting the tone for the upcoming awards season.
Film and Television Frontrunners Celebrate
In the film categories, the powerful drama One Battle After Another led the field. Its success was capped by a poignant win for Teyana Taylor, who was named Best Female Supporting Actor for her role. Delivering a tearful acceptance speech, Taylor dedicated her Golden Globe 'to my brown sisters and little brown girls watching tonight', a moment that resonated deeply with the audience and viewers worldwide.
On the television side, the limited series Adolescence continued its remarkable awards season sweep. The Netflix show picked up four Globes, including the prestigious award for Best Limited Series. This victory solidifies its status as a critical and popular favourite, with actor Stephen Graham among its celebrated cast.
Snubs and Surprises of the Night
While some productions celebrated multiple wins, the 2026 ceremony was not without its unexpected turns. Notable talking points included the film Chalamet a Smash being considered a major success, while another anticipated title, Sinners, was completely shut out, failing to win any of the awards for which it was nominated. These outcomes provided the classic awards season mix of predictable triumphs and shocking oversights that keep audiences and pundits debating.
What the Wins Signal for Awards Season
The decisive victories for One Battle After Another and Adolescence have immediately positioned them as frontrunners for the upcoming BAFTAs and Academy Awards. Taylor's emotionally charged win and dedication highlight a continuing shift towards greater recognition and representation in Hollywood. Meanwhile, Netflix's dominance in the television limited series category underscores the streaming giant's sustained power in producing award-winning content. The 83rd Golden Globes have effectively set the stage for a highly competitive and watchable awards season ahead.
