Hamnet and One Battle After Another Lead the Golden Globes; The Pitt Wins Drama

“Hamnet” won best motion picture in the drama category and “One Battle After Another” took best musical or comedy film at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night at the Beverly Hilton, in a ceremony that spread its honors across several films and shows. Comedian Nikki Glaser hosted for a second consecutive year, according to Boston.com and Michigan Public.

“One Battle After Another” won four awards: best musical or comedy film, best director and best screenplay for Paul Thomas Anderson, and best supporting actress for Teyana Taylor, Boston.com reported. “Hamnet,” which beat the favored “Sinners” for best drama, won two, including best actress in a drama for Jessie Buckley. Boston.com reported that director Chloé Zhao seemed dazed in accepting. “Sinners” took the cinematic and box office achievement award and a second prize for original score.

Among the other film winners, Wagner Moura took best actor in a drama for “The Secret Agent,” which also won best non-English language film. Rose Byrne won best actress in a musical or comedy for “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You” and Timothée Chalamet took best actor in that category for “Marty Supreme.” Stellan Skarsgård won best supporting actor for “Sentimental Value,” and “KPop Demon Hunters” won best animated film and best original song.

On television, “The Pitt” won best drama series, with Noah Wyle named best actor in a drama, and “The Studio” won best comedy or musical series, with Seth Rogen winning best actor. “Adolescence” was the night’s biggest television winner with four awards, including best limited series and best actor for Stephen Graham, according to both outlets. Michelle Williams won best actress in a limited series for “Dying for Sex.” Rhea Seehorn won best actress in a drama for “Pluribus,” and Jean Smart won best actress in a comedy for “Hacks,” Boston.com reported. Boston.com noted that most television winners repeated their 2025 Emmy wins.

The ceremony also gave out its first award for best podcast. It went to “Good Hang with Amy Poehler,” and the host, a Burlington, Mass., native, thanked her parents in an acceptance that included a nod to being able to “watch the Patriots” now, Boston.com reported.

Glaser’s opening monologue took on current events. She joked that the Justice Department deserved the editing award, seemingly a reference to the Epstein files, and she mocked CBS News, calling it “America’s newest place to see B.S. news,” a jab at its recent decision to pull a “60 Minutes” segment, Michigan Public reported. Boston.com added that she also took aim at “One Battle After Another” stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn.
