The biggest moments of the 2026 Golden Globes
The Golden Globes has wrapped for another year, and as always the awards show brought its mixture of amusing moments, emotional moments, and upsets.
From Timothée Chalamet beating out Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney to win his first Globe to Teyana Taylor's emotional acceptance speech, we've rounded up some of the must-see moments below...
Celebrities wearing pins to protest ICE
A number of Golden Globes attendees, including Mark Ruffalo, Wanda Skyes and Natasha Lyonne, wore pins to the ceremony with the words "BE GOOD" in black caps against a white background — a protest against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after 37-year-old mother Renee Good was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis last week.
"We need every part of civil society, society to speak up," anti-ICE pin organiser, Nelini Stamp of Working Families Power, was quoted as saying by NPR. "We need our artists. We need our entertainers. We need the folks who reflect society."
Nikki Glaser roasting celebrities and the government
Nikki Glaser also brought some politics to the awards show, roasting the U.S. Justice Department along with many of the celebrities in attendance.
"Yes, the Golden Globes: without a doubt, the most important thing that's happening in the world right now," she said. "I cannot believe the amount of star power we have in this room tonight. It's insane. There are so many A-listers. And by A-listers, I do mean people who are on A-list that has been heavily redacted."
Rose Byrne's joke about her husband
Rose Byrne's husband Bobby Cannavale wasn't in attendance, but when she picked up her award for Best Female Actor (Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy) for her performance in If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, she made sure to shout him out.
"He couldn't be here because he's getting a bearded dragon, and he went to a reptile expo in New Jersey," she said. "So thank you, baby."
Ryan Coogler thanking audiences for "showing up"
Sinners picked up awards for best original score and cinematic and box office achievement on Sunday. In his acceptance speech, writer/director Ryan Coogler thanked the audience.
"It was an honour on this movie to know it was getting a theatrical release," said Coogler. "We would remind people every day, in the dog days of summer, in New Orleans, like, 'Hey, big movie, people gonna see this, big theatre.' We didn't know that they would show up, so we just want to say thank you that they did. It meant the world to us."
Timothée Chalamet beating out a "stacked" category to win his first globe.
Timothée Chalamet thanked everyone involved in the making of Marty Supreme, and even managed to squeeze a pretty great joke in.
Teyana Taylor's emotional speech
After winning the award for Best Supporting Female Actor for her role in One Battle After Enough, Teyana Taylor gave a powerful speech.
"To all my brown sisters and little brown girls watching tonight: Our softness is not a liability, our depth is not too much, our light does not need permission to shine, we belong in every room we walk into, our voices matter, and our dreams deserve space," said Taylor.
