Nikki Glaser Returns as Host
Comedian Nikki Glaser will return to host the 2026 Golden Globes, making her second consecutive appearance in this role. Glaser previously made history as the first solo female host of the awards. In a recent interview, she expressed the challenge of balancing humor with sensitivity, stating, “People at home want you to make fun of the A-listers… It’s really strategic, and it’s one of the most difficult jobs I’ve ever had.”

The list of nominees is led by One Battle After Another, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and featuring performances by Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, and Teyana Taylor, which received nine nominations. In the television category, The White Lotus stands out with six nominations, the highest of any series this year.
