Hamnet‘s best motion picture, drama, win. Nikki Glaser’s triumphant return as host. Teyana Taylor’s moving speech.
There were so many moments to love during last night’s Golden Globes. The evening opened with Glaser, hosting for the second year in a row. In 2025, she saved the Globes following a disastrous 2024 hosting effort by Jo Koy. This year, she proved her elite hosting status, hitting the perfect combination of making viewers laugh at home and appealing to the difficult-to-please A-list crowd in the room. She even snuck in a tough jab at CBS, which aired the Globes and is still in the middle of Bari Weiss’s CBS News takeover. “The award for most editing goes to CBS News, America’s newest place to see B.S. news,” Glaser said onstage.
Teyana Taylor’s best supporting actress win kicked off the night on a high note. She won for One Battle After Another, in which she plays a pivotal character who doesn’t appear in the movie for that long, yet sets in motion the arc of the film. Taylor got emotional; at 35, this was her first nomination. She said it reminded her that “purpose always finds its moment.” She dedicated the award to “my Brown sisters and little Brown girls watching.” And she told them: “Our softness is not a liability. Our depth is not too much. Our light does not need permission to shine. We belong in every room we walk into. Our voices matter, and our dreams deserve space.”
