Golden Globes 2026 Host & Favorites to Win
Comedian Nikki Glaser returns as host for the 2026 ceremony after drawing strong reviews for her performance last year. The hosting gig aligns with Glaser’s stand-up style and quick delivery, which often plays well in a live awards-show setting.
While Sunday night’s winners will ultimately be decided inside the room, several films and series enter as clear contenders based on recent awards-season momentum.
“Sinners,” which earned four prizes at the Critics’ Choice Awards, heads into the Golden Globes as a favorite in the best drama motion picture category. The film faces competition in the category from “Sentimental Value,” “Hamnet,” and “Frankenstein.”
“One Battle After Another” also arrives with major momentum following a standout showing at the Critics’ Choice Awards, where it won best picture and best director. The film is expected to remain a major presence Sunday night, including in the best motion picture (comedy/musical) category.
On the TV side, “The Pitt” enters the best television series drama discussion as a top contender after taking home five Emmy Awards in 2025 for its first season. That category also includes awards favorites “Severance” and “The White Lotus,” along with Vince Gilligan’s new series “Pluribus.”
In the limited series, “Adolescence” is considered a frontrunner following its Emmy success last fall, including a headline-making moment when Owen Cooper became the youngest male actor to win an Emmy at 15 years old. The series will compete with titles including “Black Mirror” and “Dying for Sex.”
Comedy is also stacked this year, with nominees including “Hacks,” “The Bear,” “Abbott Elementary,” and “Only Murders in the Building.” “The Studio” enters as a likely winner after strong results at the Emmys.
