Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another led tonight’s 2026 Golden Globes winners with four wins. In addition to Best Picture, Musical or Comedy, Anderson received wins for director and screenplay. Teyana Taylor received a supporting actress win. The film was followed by several others who tied with 2 wins each: Hamnet (Best Drama), Sinners (Cinematic and Box Office Achievement), The Secret Agent (Best Actor for Wagner Moura and Non-English Language film), and KPOP Demon Hunters (Song, Animated Feature).
On the television front, if you weren’t Adolescence, The Pitt, or The Studio, then you probably didn’t win an award. Of course, the 2026 Golden Globes winners weren’t simply a rubber stamping of the 2025 Emmys. Rhea Seehorn (Pluribus) and Michelle Williams (Dying For Sex) offered different takes on their categories. Williams, in particular, seemed primed to win several awards for her acclaimed performance, but her Golden Globe tonight marks her first major win.
Check back tomorrow for our recap and analysis on the Contending at the Water Cooler podcast.
