Golden Globes 2026: Paul Thomas Anderson Sweeps as ‘Hamnet’ and ‘One Battle After Another’ Dominate the Night
The 83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards officially kicked off the 2026 awards season with a night defined by high-stakes drama, comedic sharp-shooting, and historic firsts. On Sunday, January 11, the Beverly Hilton once again became the epicenter of Hollywood, hosting a star-studded gala that saw Paul Thomas Anderson make history and newcomer “Hamnet” pull off the upset of the year.
From Nikki Glaser’s biting opening monologue to the emotional tributes for fallen colleagues, the 2026 Golden Globes proved that the ceremony has fully reclaimed its title as “Hollywood’s Party of the Year.”

The film portion of the evening was a duel between two titans: Paul Thomas Anderson’s sprawling comedy-drama One Battle After Another and Chloé Zhao’s Shakespearean epic Hamnet.
Golden Globes 2026: Paul Thomas Anderson’s Historic Sweep
Paul Thomas Anderson (PTA) emerged as the night’s biggest individual winner. His film One Battle After Another took home Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, and PTA himself secured both Best Director and Best Screenplay. This rare triple-crown feat makes him only the second filmmaker in history to sweep these three categories in a single night, joining Oliver Stone.
The film’s success didn’t stop there. Teyana Taylor won her first Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress, delivering a tearful speech that became one of the night’s most viral moments.
Golden Globes 2026: ‘Hamnet’ Upsets the Drama Category
