The 83rd Golden Globe Awards officially kicked off awards season in signature fashion: high-glamour arrivals, a few genuine surprises, and the kind of star-packed room that reminds you Hollywood still knows how to put on a show.
Held at the Beverly Hilton and hosted once again by Nikki Glaser, the 2026 ceremony celebrated the best of film and television, with major wins for Hamnet, One Battle After Another, Adolescence, and The Pitt. But beyond the trophies, the Golden Globes remains what it has always been: the night the industry’s biggest names dress up, turn up, and quietly begin the race to the Oscars and beyond.

The People Everyone Talked About
The Golden Globes red carpet always has its A-list core, but 2026 also felt especially current, with pop culture personalities and internet favourites taking up space in the room and on the carpet.
Olandria Carthen was one of the most talked-about attendees of the night, showing up as a clear red carpet favourite. She also had one of the most viral “crossover” moments of awards season so far, after a photo of her with actor Hudson Williams sent the internet into its usual spiral.
Across the ceremony and after-parties, the guest list read like a full industry roll call.
Among those spotted during the night and celebrations:
The After-Parties That Became the Second Main Event
If the Golden Globes is the warm-up, the after-parties are where the night turns into its own story.
This year’s standout venues included Netflix’s afterparty at Spago; Nikki Glaser’s afterparty at Sunset Tower Hotel; Chateau Marmont and the official celebrations at The Beverly Hilton. In other words, the ceremony ended, but the fashion and networking didn’t.
