The 83rd Golden Globe Awards ceremony has concluded, delivering a night of expected triumphs and stunning upsets. The big winners were clear, with the cinematic drama One Battle After Another and the hit Netflix series Adolescence each securing an impressive four awards, dominating their respective fields.
Film and Television Frontrunners Celebrate
In the film categories, One Battle After Another led the pack, its four victories setting the tone for the evening. One of the most poignant moments came when Teyana Taylor was honoured as Best Female Supporting Actor for her role in the film. Overcome with emotion, Taylor used her acceptance speech to deliver a powerful, dedicated message, stating she was giving her award 'to my brown sisters and little brown girls watching tonight'.
On the television side, the awards juggernaut Adolescence continued its seemingly unstoppable run. The critically acclaimed Netflix drama added four Golden Globes to its growing collection, including the prestigious award for Best Limited Series. This sweep cements its status as one of the year's most celebrated television productions.
Snubs, Surprises and Notable Omissions
As with any major awards show, the 2026 Golden Globes were not without their share of unexpected results. While some favourites prevailed, other highly tipped contenders left empty-handed. The ceremony featured what commentators are calling key snubs and surprises, with certain A-list stars and anticipated projects surprisingly shut out from the winners' list. These omissions have already sparked considerable debate among critics and fans alike, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the awards season.
The evening celebrated a diverse range of talent, from established stars to breakthrough performers. The dominance of One Battle After Another and Adolescence underscores the current appetite for powerful, character-driven narratives in both cinema and streaming television. The emotional resonance of Taylor's win, in particular, marked a standout moment that is sure to be remembered long after the ceremony concluded.
