The three series won best limited series, best drama and best comedy, respectively; while the Netflix miniseries won the most awards of the night. One Battle After Another, meanwhile, led the film categories.
One Battle After Another and Hamnet were the big winners at the 83rd annual Golden Globe Awards.
A Warner Bros. Discovery release, One Battle was the leading contender going into the evening with nine total nominations. It won the most too; along with best motion picture – musical or comedy, the eerily contemporary action satire won the supporting actress prize for Teyana Taylor and scored trophies for both screenplay and director for filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.
Meanwhile, Focus Features’ Hamnet won the best motion picture – drama award, along with a female actor prize for the film’s star, Jessie Buckley. Filmmaker Chloe Zhao, a previous winner for 2020’s Nomadland, was nominated in the director and screenplay categories.
Notably, both One Battle After Another and Hamnet are defined by the love between a parent and their child. One Battle stars Leonardo DiCaprio as an ex-revolutionary couch potato, kicked into a mad dash to rescue his daughter (Chase Infiniti) after the police state puts the two of them in its crosshairs. Meanwhile, Hamnet adapts Maggie O’Farrell’s novel of the same name, which dramatizes the lives of William Shakespeare (Mescal) and his wife Agnes Hathaway (Buckley) after they endure the death of their teenage son.
In the TV categories, HBO’s medical drama The Pitt, Apple TV+’s showbiz satire The Studio, and Netflix’s psychological thriller series Adolescence, cleaned up through the evening. Adolescence dominated with four total awards, while The Pitt and The Studio took home best series prizes and an acting prize apiece, for stars Noah Wyle and Seth Rogen, respectively.
Other big winners from the evening included Ryan Coogler’s vampire blues musical Sinners, which scored prizes in the best original score and cinematic and box office achievement categories. Netflix’s streaming sensation KPop Demon Hunters, the most-viewed film in the platform’s history, won for animated motion picture and original song, for the breakout, now ubiquitous earworm Golden. Neon’s The Secret Agent, a shaggy dog historical thriller set in the nooks and crannies of Brazil’s mid-2oth century dictatorship, also won two prizes: best non-English language motion picture and best actor in a motion picture – drama, for star Wagner Moura.
A separate Globes event was held prior to the ceremony, honoring two actresses for their achievements in film and television, respectively. Helen Mirren, whose recent credits include Goodbye June and The Thursday Murder Club, received the Cecil B. DeMille Award. She previously won three Golden Globes among 18 total nominations across film and television. Sarah Jessica Parker received the Carol Burnett Award, hot off of airing the final episode of HBO Max’s And Just Like That…, a sequel series to the perennial sitcom favorite Sex and the City. She was a six-time winner for Sex and the City, for both best series and best actress in a comedy.
Hosted by Nikki Glaser, the 83rd annual Golden Globes ceremony was televised on CBS on Jan. 11, 2026. It was telecast live on CBS and streamed on Paramount+ from the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
