Nikki Glaser opened the 2026 Golden Globes with a monologue acknowledging some of Hollywood's biggest stars in attendance.

The comedian and actress poked fun at her return to the show saying "just like 'Wicked,' I'm back for a sequel."

She then shouted out celebrities including "Jay Kelly" star George Clooney, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Kevin Hart and Jennifer Lawrence.

The host also called out the cast of "White Lotus" season 3 and its risqué plotline, and took jabs at Leonardo DiCaprio, before joking with his "One Battle After Another" co-stars.

Glaser touched on more best pictures nominees like "Sinners" including star Michael B. Jordan, "Wicked" and "Marty Supreme." She also joked with Timothée Chalamet, saying he's "the first actor in history to have to put on muscle for a movie about ping-pong."

She capped off the introduction with a jab at Steve Martin and Martin Short saying they, "keep proving to us that in this industry, you are never ever too old to still need money!

"Marty Supreme" actor Timothée Chalamet has arrived on the Golden Globes red carpet.

Chalamet is nominated for best performance by a male actor in a motion picture (musical or comedy).

Hailee Steinfeld, who stars in the Ryan Coogler thriller "Sinners," hit the red carpet in a peach colored gown that showed off her pregnancy.

Steinfeld recently announced she is expecting a child with husband Josh Allen, quarterback of the Buffalo Bills.

Steinfeld's carpet appearance comes just hours after Allen's crucial performance in a thrilling playoff victory, which lifted the Bills to the next round of the NFL playoffs.

Gomez is nominated for best performance by a female actor in a television series (musical or comedy) for her role as Mabel in the Hulu hit "Only Murders in the Building."
