Golden Globes 2026 updates: Highlights of the night's biggest moments, winners and style

Golden Globes viewers are hearing the voices of two narrators throughout the show. The voices belong to “Entertainment Tonight” host Kevin Frazier and Variety senior culture and events editor Marc Malkin.

Frazier and Malkin are announcing both the presenters -- which led to a funny bit with the hosts of the “Smartless” podcast -- and the nominees. Then, as each winner walks to the stage to accept the award, the duo narrates with fun facts, like noting that Teyana Taylor hoped to meet Julia Roberts at the awards.

Owen Cooper, 16, took home the Golden Globe for best performance by a male actor in a supporting role on television for his role in "Adolescence."

"What started off as what I thought I might be OK at it, I might be awful, I never know, so I took a risk and went to drama classes," Cooper said in his acceptance speech. "I was the only boy there. It was embarrassing, but you know, I got through it. ... I'm still very much an apprentice, I'm still learning."

Jean Smart won the Golden Globe for best performance by a female actor in a television series (musical or comedy) for "Hacks."

Others nominated in the category included Ayo Edebiri ("The Bear"), Jenna Ortega ("Wednesday"), Kristen Bell ("Nobody Wants This"), Selena Gomez ("Only Murders in the Building") and Natasha Lyonne ("Poker Face").

Smart thanked the show’s cast and her family and asked the audience "I think everybody in their hearts knows what the right thing is to do, so let's do the right thing," she added.

Noah Wyle won the Golden Globe for best performance by a male actor in a television series (drama) for his role in "The Pitt."

In Wyle's acceptance speech, he thanked his wife -- who is celebrating her birthday at the award show-- and the health care workers of the world.

The other stars who were nominated were Sterling K. Brown ("Paradise"), Diego Luna ("Andor"), Gary Oldman ("Slow Horses"), Mark Ruffalo ("Task") and Adam Scott ("Severance").
