Golden Globes 2026 Biggest Winners and Losers Revealed (Full List)

The list of winners at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards is here, and we’re breaking down all the biggest winners and losers from the awards ceremony. “Hamnet” is the movie name that you’ll see plastered all over the news in the coming few hours for winning Best Motion Picture – Drama. Still, the biggest winners were “One Battle After Another” and “Adolescence,” which took home four awards each.

Of course, this awards season includes a few snubs, with plenty of highly influential or successful movies overlooked from the nominations lists, and actors unfairly rewarded for their roles.

When the nominations were revealed, people were screaming from the rooftops that “Ne Zha 2,” a film that earned almost $2 billion last year, wasn’t included on the list. Still, we wouldn’t want to be “Frankenstein” or “Wicked: For Good,” as these two films made our list of biggest losers after failing to secure a single award in their numerous nominations. Here’s the complete list of categories and nominees:

Biggest Winners

Nominations are great, but these are the movies that turned their nominations into awards at the 2026 Golden Globes.

One Battle After Another

Awards:

• Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy
• Best Director (Paul Thomas Anderson)
• Best Screenplay (Paul Thomas Anderson)
• Best Supporting Actress (Teyana Taylor)

Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, and Benicio Del Toro might be the headline stars in the Paul Thomas Anderson-directed One Battle After Another. However, it was Teyana Taylor who took the top honours alongside her director at the Golden Globes 2026. Taylor won Best Supporting Actress for her role as Perfidia, a Black revolutionary leader, while Anderson won Best Director and Screenplay. The fourth and final award was given to the entire team for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. It’s a headline award that was put on a pedestal next to Hamnet, which won Best Motion Picture – Drama.

Adolescence

Awards:

• Best Limited Series
• Best Supporting Actress (TV) (Erin Doherty)
• Best Supporting Actor (TV) (Owen Cooper)
• Best Actor (Limited Series/TV Movie) (Stephen Graham)

Adolescence was the big winner at this year’s Golden Globes, taking home the award for Best Limited Series. The cast also walked away with their fair share of glory, with Erin Doherty winning Best Supporting Actress, Owen Cooper winning Best Supporting Actor, and Stephen Graham winning Best Actor in Limited Series/TV Movie. Basically, if you haven’t watched Adolescence yet, you’re missing out.

  • Best Actor (TV Comedy) — Seth Rogen

Biggest Losers

It’s hard to say that these movies were “losers” in the truest sense of the word, because they grossed millions of dollars, the actors and directors have cemented themselves in film history for their nomination alone, and they are by no means “bad” movies. However, when you have this many entries and nothing to show for it, someone has to start asking the big questions as to why you couldn’t take home just one award.

Sentimental Value

Nominations:

• Best Supporting Actor — Stellan Skarsgård (WINNER)
• Best Motion Picture – Drama
• Best Motion Picture – Non-English Language
• Best Actress (Drama) — Renate Reinsve
• Best Supporting Actress — Elle Fanning
• Best Supporting Actress — Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas
• Best Supporting Actor — Stellan Skarsgård
• Best Director — Joachim Trier
• Best Screenplay — Joachim Trier & Eskil Vogt

With nine nominations and one win, it was a tough night for the cast of Sentimental Value. The Joachim Trier-directed film follows Sisters Nora and Agnes as they reunite with their estranged father, Gustav, a retired film director himself. Some criticised the movie for its extremely slow pace, lingering scenes, and tedious nature. However, the overwhelming majority of viewers say it’s a profoundly human film that is relatable, beautiful, nuanced, and will leave you with a certain perspective on the father-daughter relationship in the movie and how they reflect your own relationships in the real world.

Frankenstein

Nominations:

• Best Motion Picture – Drama
• Best Actor (Drama) — Oscar Isaac
• Best Supporting Actor — Jacob Elordi
• Best Director — Guillermo del Toro
• Best Original Score — Alexandre Desplat

It was a tough day at the office for Frankenstein at the Golden Globes 2026. The Guillermo del Toro-directed film was packed with names, including Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, and Christoph Waltz. However, it failed to get even one win in five nominations. Some criticised the film for its lack of realism and gratuitous gore that detracts from an otherwise great cast and unique cinematography. Others said that this is a once-in-a-lifetime film that brings Mary Shelley’s novel to life in a world of 19th-century dark romanticism.

Wicked: For Good

Nominations:

• Best Actress (Musical/Comedy) — Cynthia Erivo
• Best Supporting Actress — Ariana Grande
• Best Original Song — “No Place Like Home”
• Best Original Song — “The Girl in the Bubble”
• Cinematic and Box Office Achievement

It seems even the members of the Golden Globe Foundation had had enough of watching Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande walk around like a pair of glass humans. On a serious note, the pair were nominated for individual awards, each of which is an achievement in itself. However, they failed to win a single award, as Wicked: For Good left empty-handed at the Golden Globes 2026 awards. It’s a classic case of “wanted to love it,” but a movie that ultimately fails to deliver with illogical character motivations and only loose ties to the musical. Other reviewers called it a “totally irresponsible glorification of anorexia.” Ouch.
