With Nikki Glaser (and her eight-plus outfits) on hosting duty and the entertainment industry’s biggest stars knocking it out of the park in their red carpet looks, the 83rd annual Golden Globes saw no shortage of expected wins, as well as some surprises in the mix.
Glaser, on emcee duty for the second year in a row, kicked things off with a monologue that addressed everything from the perplexing Warner Bros. bidding war to the Epstein files—“And the Golden Globe for best editing goes to the Justice Department,” the comedian quipped. Once again, Heated Rivalry got a shout-out, with the camera panning to the steamy show’s breakthrough actors Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie.
“What a beautiful night to be an artist,” remarked Julia Roberts when readying to present an award (in the middle of receiving a standing ovation for, well, being Julia Roberts.) While she was nominated on the night for Best Actress-Drama, the award ultimately went to a Dior-clad Jessie Buckley instead for her heart-shattering performance in Hamnet.
Hamnet also received the Best Motion Picture-Drama accolade, with director Chloe Zhao in visible shock as she attempted to stand up from her seat. “Paul Mescal said, ‘Making Hamnet made him realize that the most important thing about being an artist is learning to be vulnerable; to allow yourself be seen for who you are, not who you aught to be,” she paraphrased while surrounded by the cast on the podium.
Another clear winner on the night was One Battle After Another. Receiving his “double Gs” for Best Screenplay and Best Director, Paul Thomas Anderson said: “Writers? We’re magpies, we steal from everyone. I share this with everyone I magpie’d from.” One of the film’s captivating stars, Teyana Taylor, was recognized as Best Female Actor-Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture. The mom-of two emotionally dedicated her win to her “fellow brown sisters and little brown girls.” Tearfully, she continued: “Our softness is not a liability. Our death is not that. It’s 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.”
Best Television Limited Series winner Adolescence continues to sweep the boards. As the room stood for Stephen Graham’s Best Actor-Mini-Series Made for Television recognition, Owen Cooper, his on-screen son, proudly filmed the speech on his iPhone. Cooper and Erin Doherty, who plays his therapist, also won in their respective categories. “I’d love to dedicate this to therapists. Life can be tough, mental health is everything, so it was an honour to play one,” she said.
Ryan Coogler’s Sinners—which went into the night with seven nominations—took home the Wins for Best Score and Cinematic and Box Office Achievement. In a surprise twist, Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture–Drama nominee and frontrunner Michael B. Jordan (as well as Jeremy Allen White, Dwayne Johnson, Joel Edgerton, and Oscar Isaac) lost out to The Secret Agent’s Wagner Moura.
Best Supporting Actor-Motion Picture winner Stellan Skarsgård thanked his wife for her tough love. “Cinema should be seen in cinema,” he reminded viewers watching at home as he accepted the award for the Norwegian indie Sentimental Values.
Meanwhile, The Pitt’s Noah Wyle, who is on a winning streak lately, accepted his nod for Best Actor-Television Series as he shouted out his wife’s birthday tonight: “I hope you enjoy your party!” The gripping medical drama also won in the category for Best Television Series-Drama.
“What can I say? I’m a greedy bitch,” Best Actress-Television Series winner Jean Smart laughed, referring to her countless awards as the lead star of comedy show Hacks. Another actress with impeccable comedic chops, while incredulous from her win for Best Actress – Musical or Comedy, Rose Byrne joked that her husband Bobby Cannavale missed the ceremony as he was at a reptile expo in New Jersey picking out a new bearded dragon for the couple.
Making history, Amy Poehler—who’s hosted the Golden Globes several times during her career—received the inaugural award for Best Podcast.
With Kylie Jenner beaming up at him, Best Actor-Musical or Comedy winner Timothée Chalamet acknowledged his “stacked” category as he thanked his Marty Supreme co-stars—even prompting cheers when he name-checked Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary.
KPop Demon Hunters—Netflix’s most-watched original movie ever—received nods for Best Animated Feature Film and Best Original Song – Motion Picture for Golden. The latter inspired host Glaser to slip into performer mode, serenading the room with her version of an upbeat K-pop song until she was ‘interrupted’ by Fran Drescher.
Pluribus—recently named Apple TV’s most-watched show in history—was in the spotlight once more as its lead star Rhea Seehorn received the award for Best Female Actor in a Television Series. And in another feat for Apple TV, Seth Rogen’s The Studio received two wins, for Best TV Series – Musical or Comedy and Best Actor in a TV Series-Musical or Comedy.
