    Rose Byrne wins best comedy nod for If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, and other key moments from the Golden Globes

    This year's Golden Globes saw hits and misses for Australia, last-minute snubs and a humbled Timothée Chalamet.


    This year's Golden Globes saw hits and misses for Australia, last-minute snubs and a surprisingly humbled Timothée Chalamet.

    Shakespeare-inspired Hamnet took out best drama picture, while miniseries Adolescence and One Battle After Another swept up four gongs each.

    Here are the key moments from the 83rd Golden Globe Awards:

    Rose Byrne's bearded dragon, Jacob Elordi misses out

    Australian Rose Byrne took home the nod for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy.

    Byrne won for If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, thanking her team, which she says shot it in "25 days for like $8.50".

    It was a family affair for the Australian, with Byrne bringing her brother George as a date.

    Her husband, actor Bobby Cannavale, also got a thank you, but was, oddly enough, out bearded dragon shopping.

    Meanwhile, fellow Australian Jacob Elordi missed out on Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture.

    Nominated for Frankenstein, the prize instead went to Stellan Skarsgård for his role in Sentimental Value.

    The 74-year-old Skarsgård confessed he had not prepared a speech because he "thought that I was too old".

    Still, Skarsgård paid tribute to his wife and famous brood of actor children (think True Blood's Alexander and It's Bill).

    "I'm playing a father that is a bad father, and my children have really told me what a bad father is," he told the crowd.

    He ended his speech with a tribute to the "extinct species" that are cinemas.

    "In a cinema, where the lights go down, and eventually you share the pulse with other people, that is magic."

    Elordi also lost out on Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Limited Series, which went to Adolescence's Stephen Graham.

    The last Australian up for a prize, Joel Edgerton — nominated for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama — also failed to take home gold. 

    The Adolescence, One Battle After Another sweep

    The highly acclaimed miniseries Adolescence struck once again, taking all category nominations it was up for.

    That included acting nods for Owen Cooper, Erin Doherty and Stephen Graham.

    Co-creator Jack Thorne capped off the show's incredible awards run with a poignant note.

    "Removing hate is our generation's responsibility; it has to happen from the top down," he said.

    "It might seem remote right now, but hope is a powerful thing."

    Also taking out four awards was Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another.

    The majority of its wins were dedicated to late producer and first assistant director Adam Somner.

    Amy Poehler takes out inaugural podcast award

    2026 was the debut year for the category Best Podcast — a Hollywood nod to the form's growing popularity.

    And in a highly-predicted win, Amy Poehler's Good Hang took the prize, handed to her by a "high as a motherf***er" Snoop Dog.

    Poehler was up against ex-husband Will Arnett and his SmartLess podcast, and once said she was inspired to start podcasting after watching "men doing the bare minimum".

    She applauded the other nominees, except — jokingly — NPR's Up First.

    "Just a bunch of celebs phoning it in. Try harder," she said. 

    Never one to miss out on an awards show gag, Poehler later stepped up as the finder of Jeremy Strong's infamous 2025 Golden Globes bucket hat.

    Timothée Chalamet beats out Leo in first Globes win

    It seems almost unbelievable, but Chalamet's first Golden Globe came with Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy.

    Chalamet had been winless for four previous Globes nominations — until table tennis odyssey Marty Supreme came along.

    The star thanked other nominees and partner, Kylie Jenner, in a humble speech.

    "I'm in a category of many greats, I look up to you," he said of the other nominees, which included Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney.

    "My dad instilled a sense of gratitude growing up, always be grateful for what you have.

    "It's allowed me to leave this ceremony in the past empty-handed, my head held high, just grateful to be here.

    "But I would be lying if this moment doesn't make those moments so much sweeter."

    Composers get the snub

    The nominees for best film score may have been industry powerhouses — think two-time Oscar winner Alexandre Desplat — but tonight they were given the unceremonious snub.

    In a last-minute move, the nominees were informed the presentation would be cut from the telecast.

    While winner Ludwig Göransson (Sinners) was still awarded during the ceremony, it was an understandably difficult snub for some.

    Nominee Hans Zimmer said it was a shame "not to honour my friends who work so hard".

    "This year is a fantastic year for composers," he said of the snub, on the red carpet.

    "Don't ignore them, you don't have a movie without them."

    A Golden Globes spokesperson told Deadline the category remains a "cornerstone" of the ceremony.

    It was yet another awards show snub for major category nominees — with the recent Critics' Choice Awards handing its Best Foreign Language Film winner out on the red carpet.

    Nikki Glaser returns for hosting duties

    Nikki Glaser made history last year as the Globes' first solo female Golden Globes host, and she came back in 2026 for another bite.

    Coming out of the gate with jokes about CBS News and the Epstein files, Glaser soon moved on to the nominees of the night.

    Expected jokes about Leonardo DiCaprio's twenty-something girlfriends were quickly apologised for.

    "I tried not to, but we don't know anything else about you, man," she told the crowd.

    Later in the night, her KPop Demon Hunters parody was bluntly cut off by former SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher, who threatened to remove her from the union.

    When Glaser pointed out she was no longer president, Drescher joked: "I get one free kill, honey."
