The Golden Globes 2026 just rewrote the awards-season script: Emilia Pérez swept four trophies, Adrien Brody cemented Oscar front-runner status, and TV shocks—from Shōgun to Hacks—signal a new Emmy order. The full winners list is here, plus instant analysis on who gained momentum and who missed the podium.
Film Winners: Emilia Pérez Explodes, The Brutalist Builds Oscar Hype
Netflix’s Spanish-language musical crime epic Emilia Pérez entered the night with five nominations and left with four wins—more than any film this year.
- Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy
- Best Actress – Musical or Comedy: Karla Sofía Gascón
- Best Supporting Actress: Zoe Saldaña
- Best Original Score
The haul instantly vaults Emilia Pérez into the Oscars’ Best Picture conversation and proves the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s willingness to champion non-English narratives in top categories.
Meanwhile, The Brutalist took Best Motion Picture – Drama, giving director Brady Corbet a critical boost in a crowded Oscar field. Adrien Brody’s win for Best Actor – Drama marks his second Globe and positions him as the man to beat at the Academy Awards, a trajectory confirmed by CBS News.
TV Shockwaves: Shōgun and Hacks Reset the Emmy Race
F/X’s Shōgun conquered Best Drama Series, ending Succession’s three-year streak and signaling a potential changing of the guard at September’s Emmys. The period epic also collected Best Actor – Drama for Hiroyuki Sanada and Best Actress – Drama for Anna Sawai—only the second time Asian performers have swept the drama acting fields in the same year.
On the comedy side, Hacks reclaimed Best Comedy Series after losing last year to The Bear. Jean Smart’s third consecutive win for Best Actress – Comedy ties the Globes record for most wins in the category, underscoring the show’s momentum heading into Emmy season.
Snubs & Surprises: What the Membership Revealed
Conclave walked in with seven nominations but left empty-handed, a stumble that dents its Oscar odds despite heavy guild support.
Demi Moore’s loss to Gascón in the Musical/Comedy actress race narrows the Best Actress Oscar contest to a two-way duel between Moore and Nicole Kidman (Babygirl), who was not Globe-eligible this year.
In television, Colin Farrell’s guest turn on The Penguin earned him Best Supporting Actor – Limited Series, a win that burnishes HBO’s already formidable limited-series brand and hints at Emmy love to come.

Why These Victories Matter Right Now
The Golden Globes remain the first major televised awards of the calendar year, and studios spend millions campaigning here because a win creates instant Oscar and Emmy buzz. Emilia Pérez’s four-trophy night forces Academy voters to screen a film they might have skipped, while The Brutalist’s drama victory steers momentum away from bigger-budget contenders like Gladiator II.
On the TV side, Shōgun’s sweep proves that global co-productions can triumph over entrenched favorites, a lesson streamers will replicate in next year’s slate. Hacks returning to the winner’s circle also reminds Emmy voters that longevity plus quality equals gold—smart news for Max as it courts subscribers with seasoned hits rather than splashy freshmen.
Expect studio marketing departments to remix these acceptance-speech soundbites into Oscar and Emmy spots within 24 hours, and watch guild nominations later this month to see if the Globes’ taste aligns with the industry crafts that ultimately decide the Academy’s outcome.
