‘One Battle,’ ‘Hamnet’ take top honors at Hollywood’s Golden Globes ceremony
- “One Battle” was named best movie musical or comedy and “Hamnet” earned the best movie drama prize
BEVERLY HILLS: Dark comedy “One Battle After Another” and “Hamnet,” a story about William Shakespeare and grief, claimed the top prizes on Sunday at the Golden Globes, one of the first major events in Hollywood’s annual awards season.
“One Battle” was named best movie musical or comedy and “Hamnet” earned the best movie drama prize.
Timothee Chalamet triumphed in one of the most competitive categories, taking the trophy for best male actor in a movie musical or comedy for his role as a professional table tennis player in “Marty Supreme.”
Chalamet defeated Leonardo DiCaprio, George Clooney and other big names at the red-carpet ceremony in Beverly Hills, California. “This category is stacked.
I look up to all of you,“ Chalamet said to his fellow nominees.
The actor noted that he had left the Globes in previous years without a win.
“I’d be lying if I didn’t say those moments made this moment that much sweeter,” he said.
“Good Hang with Amy Poehler” won a new Globes honor for podcasts. “This is an attempt to try to make a very rough and unkind world filled with a little bit more love and laughter, and laughing with people, not at them,” Poehler said.
“We just have such a good time making it.”
“Golden,” the catchy tune from Netflix phenomenon “K-Pop Demon Hunters,” was named best original song.
“It’s never too late to shine like you were born to,” Korean-American singer Ejae said as she accepted the award. Host Nikki Glaser joked that the Globes were “without a doubt the most important thing that’s happening in the world right now.”
She took light-hearted jabs at the stars seated inside a Beverly Hills ballroom. Glaser joked about DiCaprio’s reputation for dating young women before apologizing for the “cheap” remark.
“We don’t know anything else about you, man,” she said.
The Globes are among the first of the 2026 Hollywood accolades to be handed out before the film industry’s top honors, the Academy Awards, in March.
Globes voters do not have a say in the Oscars, but a win at the Globes can help bring attention to potential Academy Awards contenders.
Recipients of the Globes are chosen by more than 300 entertainment journalists, compared with roughly 9,000 voters who select the Oscars.
