Oddsmakers and analysts say the winners of the Grammys 2026 are too close to call. Will Bad Bunny, Lady Gaga, or Kendrick Lamar take home Album of the Year? Will ubiquitous Kpop Demon Hunters anthem “Golden” take home yet another trophy for Song of the Year? Is Olivia Dean‘s presumed lock on Best New Artist guaranteed?
We won’t know until Sunday, February 1, when—starting at 8 p.m.—this year’s awards will be distributed. The ceremony, will be hosted by former Daily Show host Trevor Noah, will be broadcast live on CBS and Paramount+. Vanity Fair is also liveblogging every moment, and will update this page every time a winner is announced.
So read on for the full list of Grammys 2026 winners below, and don’t miss Vanity Fair’s coverage of the night’s best-dressed stars, every red carpet look, and much more.

For the second year in a row, Kendrick Lamar, with nine nominations, is poised to dominate at Grammys 2026, after winning record and song of the year in 2025 for “Not Like Us.” His sixth studio album, GNX, is in competition for best album of the year with fellow past and soon-to-be future Super Bowl headliners Lady Gaga and Bad Bunny, whose albums Mayhem and Debí Tirar Más Fotos (“I Should Have Taken More Photos”) are up for seven and six nominations, respectively.
The heated rivalry in that category isn’t the only reason for watching the Grammys live. Among the snubs and surprises of the 2026 Grammy nominations was the inclusion of Justin Bieber’s four-time-nominated surprise summer album, Swag, songs from which he’ll perform at his first Grammys in four years. Joining Bieber on the Grammys stage, although presumably not at the same time, will be all eight of the best new artist nominees: Olivia Dean, Katseye, the Marías, Addison Rae, Sombr, Leon Thomas, Alex Warren, and Lola Young.
Speaking of fresh blood, a pair of new categories are coming to the Grammys: best traditional country album—where nominees range from Willie Nelson to Margo Price—and best album cover, which could go to Bad Bunny, Tyler the Creator, Perfume Genius, Djo, or the British indie pop group Wet Leg.
But some traditions remain: the Grammys 2026 will be hosted by former Daily Show host Trevor Noah, who returns for his sixth and—as the Recording Academy confirmed—final stint as emcee. During last year’s well-received telecast, the Grammys raised funds for the California wildfires, but has yet to announce a philanthropic cause for this year’s show.
With that, it’s time to make like Addison Rae and put your headphones on in preparation for music’s biggest night. Ahead, a breakdown of where to watch the Grammys 2026 and which A-list musicians are expected to make a splash on stage.
The 2026 Grammys air live on Sunday, February 1, on CBS and Paramount+. This year’s broadcast will also be available to stream online at cbs.com, through the CBS app, or via the Recording Academy’s social channels. Streaming options for those without a cable login include Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, DirectTV Stream, Sling TV, and FuboTV, many of which come with free-trial periods.
If you’re interested in watching the Grammys live, you may also want to tune in to the annual Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony, where the first and majority of awards are handed out. This event will stream live from Peacock Theater in Los Angeles hours before the proper show at 3:30 p.m. ET/12:30 p.m. PT on the Recording Academy’s YouTube channel and on live.grammy.com. Glee alum Darren Criss will host the ceremony and perform with his costar in Broadway’s Maybe Happy Ending, Helen J. Shen, with more performances from artists such as Zara Larsson and nominated musician Grace Potter.
Sabrina Carpenter enters the 2026 Grammys with a half-dozen nods, including for album, record, and song of the year—all three of the night’s biggest awards—and was the first artist to join the awards show’s stacked performer lineup. She’ll be joined by Bieber, Gaga, the best new artist slate, and Let God Sort ‘Em Out collaborators Clipse and Pharrell Williams.

If you were at Art Basel Miami Beach in December 2024, you might have noticed a surprising face amidst the art lovers and buyers. It was Natalie Portman, attending the festival to research for her role in The Gallerist—a dark comedy in which she plays a desperate gallerist who attempts to sell a dead body as a piece of art.
Though already an art lover, Portman didn’t know much about the nuances of the contemporary art world—and its colorful characters—before joining The Gallerist. “It’s almost like ideas are art, which is kind of incredible. It’s almost like a marketplace for philosophy, in some way, which can obviously lead to sometimes bullshit and sometimes really incredible, revelatory stuff,” the actor says. “It has depth and can be ridiculous, which is kind of the best combination for when you want to tell a story.”
Portman stars in the film as eccentric gallerist Polina Polinski, who is trying to make a name for herself and her new Miami Beach gallery. She begrudgingly invites an art influencer (Zach Galifianakis) to see the work of an emerging artist named Stella (Da’Vine Joy Randolph)—but soon finds herself scrambling alongside her assistant (Jenna Ortega) to sell a piece of art that features a corpse.
It’s fitting for The Gallerist to have its world premiere on January 24 at the Sundance Film Festival, where real-life buyers (and influencers) are prepared to potentially throw millions of dollars at the films they deem worthy. Cathy Yan’s biting, funny, and surprising satire revels in the clash between art and commerce. “There were a lot of really interesting ideas and themes that I personally related to as an artist, as a creative, as someone that just really wanted to explore the creative process and collaboration and the inherent tension of creating art—not just for yourself, but for the world,” the director tells Vanity Fair.
Yan is deeply familiar with this subject matter. She made her feature directorial debut in 2018 with the breakout Sundance film Dead Pigs, then jumped into the world of superheroes and DC Comics to direct 2020’s Birds of Prey. The Gallerist marks Yan’s return to non-IP-based filmmaking. “It’s hard to define what inherent value is in the art world, and so much of it becomes in the eye of the beholder—and also in the stories that are told about it, in the context and the marketing,” she says. “I always found the collision of the business and the art itself to be absolutely fascinating.”

Because this Oscar season has been competitive from the get-go, we were expecting some surprises when nominations were announced—and boy, did we get them. The Oscar nominations 2026 included a slew of pleasantly unpredictable names in the acting categories (Delroy Lindo! Elle Fanning!) as well as several shake-ups in other tight races, like best director and even best picture.
Sure, One Battle After Another and Sinners were expected to lead the pack when the final list was announced Thursday, just as they have all season. But Sinners made history by getting the most nominations for a movie in a single year, outstripping its top competitor (which only—“only”—got 12 total nods).
There were some painful snubs as well. Though the first Wicked film got lavished with Oscars attention last year, earning 10 nominations including best picture (and winning two, for its production and costume design), Wicked: For Good was completely shut out at this year’s ceremony. Palme d’Or winner It Was Just an Accident also seemed like a strong Oscar contender, but lost steam in the end; it was nominated in best international feature and best original screenplay, but missed out on both the main best picture category and best director.
Below, we break down the biggest snubs and surprises of the 2026 Oscar nominations—from F1 zooming into contention to Academy favorite Guillermo del Toro dropping off the best director list.
Shortly before the nominations were announced, Hollywood began whispering about the possibility of Sinners breaking the record for most Oscar nominations for a single film. It would be a tall feat: Three films—All About Eve, Titanic, and La La Land—held that record, with 14 nominations apiece. But sure enough, Sinners out-Oscared them, landing 16 total nominations. The film picked up more acting nods than expected when Wunmi Mosaku and Delroy Lindo landed supporting nominations, along with Michael B. Jordan in lead actor. Beyond those and best picture, Sinners also earned nods for directing, original screenplay, casting, cinematography, costume design, production design, sound, makeup and hairstyling, song, score, and editing. As for what this means on Oscar night, let’s take a look at history: All About Eve and La La Land each ultimately won six awards. All About Eve got best picture; as many will remember, thanks to #Envelopegate, La La Land did not.Titanic won 11 Oscars, including best picture as well. —Rebecca Ford
Yikes! Wicked: For Good didn’t receive a single Oscar nomination. Not for original song; not for production design or costume design, both of which it won last year. Overall, the Academy made it clear they were not fans of splitting this beloved musical into two movies. Wicked: For Good is one of the highest-grossing films of the year, so there was a feeling that the Academy would find ways to support it even if it wasn’t going to get a best picture nomination this time around. But Universal will have to take the film’s box office achievement as the ultimate win for this franchise, as the Academy was fine with mourning the Wicked this morning. —John Ross
It isn’t a huge surprise that F1 landed nominations for its crafts, getting recognized in best sound and best visual effects. Even its editing nom wasn’t a huge surprise; the film’s racing scenes are very well done. But the Brad Pitt-starring sports drama was not expected to play much outside of those sandboxes—so its nomination for best picture was one of the biggest surprises of the day. That 10th slot for best picture was very much in flux; F1 had just enough juice to make it in over other hopefuls like It was Just an Accident, Sirat, and Wicked: For Good. —R.F.
Grande was arguably the co-lead in the second half of Wicked, and many critics considered her the highlight of the film. As her co-star Cynthia Erivo’s Oscars chances faded, Grande was still considered likely to get a nomination from the Academy. She did receive nominations from the Actors Awards and the Golden Globes, after all. But today, the pop star was edged out by the swell of Sinners and Sentimental Value—both films that overperformed this morning across the board. —J.R.
This chamber piece about a lonely genius has turned out to be the tiny movie that could. With a knock-out performance by Ethan Hawke as famed lyricist Lorenz Hart (Hawke also earned an acting nomination), Blue Moon charmed audiences with its quick-witted dialogue and impressive, fluid directing by Richard Linklater. The screenwriter, Robert Kaplow, constructed his script based on letters between Hart and a Yale student named Elizabeth—and earned his first Oscar nomination today for his effort. —R.F.
The best director race is always one of the hardest Oscar categories to predict. Panahi didn’t get a DGA nomination for It Was Just An Accident, but conventional wisdom was that he would still get in at the Oscars because of the film’s overall popularity with international voters, as well as his personal story. And Panahi did get a nomination for Original Screenplay—but the directors’ branch instead nominated another non-American filmmaker, Joachim Trier, for Sentimental Value. Past Oscar winner Del Toro, meanwhile, is beloved by his peers, and received a DGA nomination for Frankenstein. But ultimately, he didn’t have enough support to secure one of the five spots this morning. His film still received many below-the-line nominations, from cinematography to costume design—so come Oscar night, Del Toro will probably still get some shout-outs from the big stage. —J.R.
A rising tide lifts all boats, and while many Oscar watchers felt Lindo was deserving of today’s nomination, they didn’t think he would be able to break through in such a competitive field. Yet Sinners performed so well this morning that it helped carry Lindo into a nomination for his role in the film as Delta Slim. Though Lindo has an impressive body of work, this marks his very first Oscar nomination. Lindo’s surprise nod meant that Paul Mescal, who was believed to be a sure thing in this category for his role in Hamnet, was pushed out. It’s also worth noting that Jacob Elordi secured his nomination for Frankenstein after months of dogged campaigning. —J.R.
At the start of this season, it felt like this was Sandler’s year to finally get a nomination for an Academy Award. His role in Noah Baumbach’s Jay Kelly was measured, less bombastic than Uncut Gems, and the response was positive at every stop on the campaign trail. (Including when Sandler sat for a conversation with Timothee Chalamet, moderated by Vanity Fair.) But as the season progressed, Jay Kelly started to get a softer response among voters—and Jacob Elordi began to get more attention for his role in Frankenstein. This morning, Sandler fell victim to the surprise of Delroy Lindo’s nomination and Elordi’s ascent. —J.R.
Hudson campaigned hard this season, and it paid off. Her role as Claire “Thunder” Sardinia in Song Sung Blue plays to all her strengths: she sings, she blends comedy and drama, and her chemistry with Hugh Jackman is superb. After her Actors Award nomination, industry insiders started to take her campaign more seriously. Still, there was a feeling that the film itself wasn’t strong enough to land her in one of the five spots. Today, though, she proved the naysayers wrong. But as a result, Chase Infiniti unfortunately didn’t make the best actress cut for her film debut in One Battle After Another. —J.R.
Sentimental Value seemed to stumble earlier this season, when it was completely snubbed for Actor Awards nominations. But the film came back with gusto on Oscar nomination day, earning nine nods. While it was expected to land noms for picture, screenplay, and a few other places, the film also landed a surprise supporting actress nomination for Elle Fanning, who joined her co-star Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas. Joachim Trier also landed a coveted best director nom in a very competitive field, and the film also earned a surprise editing nomination. It’s clear there’s love for this Norwegian family drama across the board. —R.F.
Only one film in the international feature category was not released by Neon, which has become the go-to distributor for foreign language Oscar fodder. The Voice of Hind Rajab is an emotional story about volunteers at the Palestine Red Crescent Society responding to the killing of a five-year-old Palestinian girl. Germany’s Sound of Falling and South Korea’s No Other Choice were both vying for this final slot in this category, but The Voice of Hind Rajab, with its restrained yet emotionally devastating filmmaking, is undeniably timely as the war in Gaza rages on. The film’s nomination also marks only the second time that Tunisia has earned a nomination in this category. —R.F.

A.k.a. Charli xcx’s hyperpop mockumentary, helmed by the most in-demand creative director in music right now: Aidan Zamiri, channeling Charli’s humor for a satirical take on the music industry. Set to be released by A24 at the end of the month, the film includes appearances by everyone from Rachel Sennott to Kylie Jenner to Alexander Skarsgård. The trailer is funny, there’s no bigger star than Charli in pop music right now, and she’s also a noted film buff—so expectations are high for this film. Let’s hope it delivers during its premiere Friday night.
A recently dumped middle school theater teacher puts together an avant-garde original musical in secret as a way to exact revenge on the school’s principal, who is dating his ex-girlfriend. This dark comedy from first-time feature director Giselle Bonilla, with a script by Alexander Heller—in the vein of Summer Heights High, but not filmed as a mockumentary—has a wild reveal at the end, when the audience gets to see the musical performed onstage, embracing the role of spite in the creation of art.
One of the kings of Sundance, Jay Duplass, returns to Park City with a new film that follows a writer coping with PTSD after the death of his sister. Based on Adam Cayton-Holland’s memoir, Tragedy Plus Time: A Tragi-comic Memoir, the film also stars two more Sundance darlings, Cooper Raiff and Kaitlyn Dever. Duplass has done a lot of acting work in recent years, and he’s always showing up as a producer on independent films—but this movie marks his return to the festival as a director.
Dave Franco and O’Shea Jackson Jr. star in Macon Blair’s Sundance follow-up to I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore. Blair won the festival’s US Dramatic grand jury prize for that film in 2017. Here, Franco and Jackson Jr. play drivers trying to transport a rich teenager, played by Mason Thames, to rehab. This job proves harder than expected, and things get out of hand quickly as the trio goes on an adventure that includes run-ins with supporting cast members Kiernan Shipka and Nicholas Braun.
Is it even Sundance without an A24 horror film premiere? In writer-director Ian Tuason’s debut feature, the host of a podcast focused on paranormal activity begins to receive recordings of a haunted nature. This one has all the signature A24 horror tropes—an unsettling tone, a female protagonist struggling with depression and loneliness, and a Sundance midnight premiere.
This television series, with a pilot directed by Nicole Holofcener and written by Lesley Arfin and Alexandra Tanner, is entering the festival without a network or streamer to call home. Centered around two young women, played by Gideon Adlon (yes, she’s Odessa A’zion’s sister) and Rachel Kaly, the show is giving Girls vibes. Holofcener rarely misses; it’s also interesting to see a television series take an independent-film model and look for distribution at a film festival.

The 2026 Golden Globe Awards kicked off awards season last night and as with all awards ceremonies there were some winners and some —how do we say this politely—people who did not win. Of course it’s easy to track who has piled up the most nominations or taken home the most awards in any given season, but the competition on the red carpet is a little less clear. That’s where you, VF reader, come in.
We asked you to vote for your favorites from our best dressed list, and here’s why: Starting today through the rest of awards season, we will be tracking who you think are the best dressed celebrities overall. We will be updating this leaderboard with your votes after each major awards ceremony to see who is winning the red carpet competition. (We are big about democracy here at VF.)
The Y axis shows the top 10 celebrities who are currently in the lead, the X axis represents the amount of votes. And yes, you can still vote and this chart will be updated periodically. Click here to vote on our Golden Globes best dressed list.
After the Golden Globes last night, the people have spoken and we have our first winner: Timothée Chalamet! The Marty Supreme star wore an all-black Chrome Hearts look, which he paired with Timberland boots like the born and raised New Yorker that he is. I can tell you that the outfit was somewhat divisive amongst our fashion team—for starters, the head-to-toe black was startling to some after a run of great and colorful, even if also monochromatic, looks. There’s also the fact that this was a slightly less dressy version of Chalamet than the one who won last week at the Critics Choice Awards in a pinstripe double breasted suit by Givenchy. It was, plainly, his more straightforward look of the season. This is why I liked it, and why he made the list—Chalamet is a clothes chameleon, and this showed his range while showing that menswear on the red carpet doesn’t always need to be a black tux. It doesn’t even need to involve a tie!
Amanda Seyfried’s ethereal Atelier Versace look took the second spot, with Miley Cyrus trailing right behind. As awards season progresses, expect some of these names to fall off to make way to new ones—that’s just the name of the game! Chalamet’s early lead should come as no surprise here. He’s an awards show and red carpet darling, often making best dressed lists or at least sparking conversation with his outfits. (And hey, at least he wasn’t wearing orange last night!) There’s also the fact that Chalamet took home the award for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy—we can’t blame you, our dear audience, for wanting to give him a bonus!
Will Chalamet maintain his lead? Can someone else enter the top 10 after the next big show? We’ll have to wait and see.

When he’s not walking a red carpet, Moura dresses less showily: “Very simple, very discreet.” While he appreciates good clothes and the art of fashion, “it’s not something that I’m very into. I don’t know the brands nor the stylists nor the creators that well. But I think it’s a beautiful world of creativity, and I really respect it.”

As The Secret Agent’s Armando, Moura wears classic 1970s Brazilian fashion: light shirts with several rows of unbuttoned buttons, with a little chest peeking out. “A little chest peeking out,” he repeated back to me, laughing. “That’s exactly what it is.” Wearing those clothes dredged up his own memories: “They really remind me of the way my father used to dress up, with the chest peeking out. Back then, in the ’70s, at least in Brazil, I remember all the men—my uncles and all the adults—they would wear their shirts like that.” Armando’s style has started to bleed into Moura’s own off-camera life. “I have some buttoned shirts, and now I unbutton at least two buttons down to incorporate that chest-peeking-out vibe into my personal style,” he said.
Stefania Rosini/Omega.
He was a little less cheeky about what Sunday night meant to him. At the Globes, Moura became the first Brazilian actor to win best actor in a drama film; it seems likelier than ever that he will get an Oscar nomination for the role. The film’s success evokes the trajectory of the 2024 film I’m Still Here, which earned several Oscar nominations (and one win) after a solid showing at the 2025 Golden Globes.

If the 2026 Golden Globes had a theme, it was “Normal service restored.” After four months of Oscars season lifting up some contenders and humbling others, the Globes in many ways looped us back to where we thought we’d be in September: One Battle After Another cleaning up, Hamnet as the runner-up, Sinners as a crafts-only play.
That message was sent early in the night with the ceremony’s first two categories, Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress. These were the two least predictable races on the film side, and they’d recently gotten more chaotic thanks to the Critics Choice Awards the weekend before. In Supporting Actress, which has been as wide-open an acting race as we’ve seen in years, Critics Choice went with Amy Madigan in Weapons — an extremely gonzo, extremely Internet-friendly pick. In Supporting Actor, the two nominees from One Battle After Another apparently split the vote at the CCAs, clearing a path for Frankenstein’s Jacob Elordi, a challenge to the conventional wisdom that 28-year-old hunks don’t win trophies. (Being a 28-year-old hunk is usually considered its own reward.)
Neither of these wins repeated at the Globes, where the supporting prizes went to Teyana Taylor of OBAA and Stellan Skarsgård of Sentimental Value. For better and for worse, this duo feels like a much more plausible pair of Oscar winners: Taylor as an electric performer in the Best Picture front-runner, Skarsgård as a venerable European near the end of a long career. So plausible, in fact, that many pundits fingered each for the win at the beginning of the season. Taylor and Skarsgård were both worthy winners who gave memorable speeches, but taken together, their wins seemed like a sign of Globes voters preemptively aligning their tastes with the Academy’s, rather than delivering distinctive wins in their own right.
Something similar occurred with Hamnet. Since the literary adaptation won the TIFF People’s Choice Award in September, its buzz had gotten awfully quiet. As Blank Check’s JJ Bersch wrote a few weeks ago, “it barely feels like the movie even exists at this point, weirdly.” Once Rose Byrne started taking critics’ prizes for her turn as a frazzled mother in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, fans wondered if she could possibly upset Hamnet’s Jessie Buckley, who since Telluride had been pegged as the race’s indomitable Goliath. Byrne’s hot streak continued when she won Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy at the Globes, but while she delivered a lovely, charming speech — which ended with the news that her husband, Bobby Cannavale, couldn’t make it because he was attending a reptile convention in New Jersey — it was probably the last speech she’ll get to give this season. As expected, Buckley won the other Best Actress trophy, and Hamnet’s 11th-hour Best Drama win seemed to prove the film does indeed have enough juice for the Irish actress to sweep from here on out.
As will be the case in a three-hour show, there were a couple small surprises. Brazil’s The Secret Agent taking Best Foreign-Language Film, alongside star Wagner Moura’s win for Best Actor in a Drama, indicates that the hierarchy of power in the Neon universe may be about to change. Is the movie the new front-runner for the International Film Oscar, and if so, what does that mean for the presumed heavyweights in that category, It Was Just an Accident and Sentimental Value, and their chances of sneaking into Best Picture? (Or is this just a case of Brazilians, the largest international contingent in the Globes’ membership, having a home-field advantage at this ceremony?)
Now, there’s nothing wrong, exactly, with any of the Globes’ picks. If they wanted to vote for Stellan Skarsgård, let them vote for Stellan Skarsgård! (Especially since Skarsgård wasn’t nominated at SAG, giving his win Sunday night a little extra weight.) It’s just that this is the exact opposite of the way the Globes used to be. Usually, they’d be the ones injecting a little insanity into the race, like when they handed Best Supporting Actor to Aaron Taylor Johnson in Nocturnal Animals in a year when Moonlight’s Mahershala Ali was winning everywhere else. Or, that same night, awarded one of their Best Actress awards to Isabelle Huppert for Elle when everyone assumed Jackie’s Natalie Portman had it in the bag. In an alternate awards-season universe, it would have been the Globes who gave Jacob Elordi and Amy Madigan their trophies and made us all question reality. Now, after having been canceled and reborn, the show has lost its signature sense of derangement, and there’s something a little sad about that.
Still, the old Globes live on in one respect. By snubbing Sinners in Best Drama, handing it a consolation-prize Box Office Achievement award, and punting its only other win (Best Score) to a commercial break, Sunday’s ceremony continued the proud Golden Globes tradition of disrespecting Black-led films. That’s one piece of awards-season heritage they just can’t quit.

If you can’t attend the Golden Globes 2026 in person, seeing it through the eyes—and camera lens—of renowned society, fashion, and celebrity photographer German Larkin might just be the next best thing. Luckily for all those not rubbing elbows with the biggest stars of the day, Larkin was on the scene, capturing those once-in-a-lifetime moments that viewers most definitely did not see on TV.
Whether it’s old co-stars and friends reuniting or new connections being made, quiet glances or surprising moments, Larkin took everyone inside the rarified air of the Beverly Hilton’s International Ballroom, where the ceremony took place on Sunday, to share how the beautiful people enjoyed the night.

Audiences tuning into the Golden Globes 2026 thirsted for Heated Rivalry stars Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams—and, lo, they were hydrated. Though their hit hockey romance wasn’t eligible for the Globes, nor will it be up for primetime Emmy Awards in September, it’s safe to say that the two young actors from the Canadian phenomenon still won big on Sunday.
Williams and Storrie got prime seating placement at the Globes, sitting at a table with Paul Mescal, Charli xcx, Keegan-Michael Key, and Justin Hartley—and right next to the table where Leonardo DiCaprio was seated. They did red carpet interviews: Storrie wearing a black Saint Laurent suit with a thin black tie, draped in Tiffany and Co. jewelry, and Williams in a black and white Armani tuxedo—cummerbund included—Louboutin shoes, and Bulgari jewelry. Williams didn’t need a tie, choosing instead to decorate his neck with, well, his neck, leaving his shirt unbuttoned halfway down his chest.
The two even got to enjoy that very specific awards show rite of passage: a joke written into the host’s banter.
“I don’t want to get too serious, but stories like these don’t always get told,” host Nikki Glaser said in reference to their decidedly NSFW queer saga, calling it “proof that American audiences are ready for more stories about… hockey.” Touché.

Before the duo presented the award for best supporting female actor in a TV series, as they headed backstage, VF overheard Williams telling Storrie, “Let’s go, baby boy.” Once onstead, Storrie put on an adorably wide-eyed show of being blown away by the audience, while Williams told him to “Jjst take a deep breath and picture everyone in the audience…you know.”
“Yeah, I don’t really know if that works, considering everyone’s seen us…you know,” Storrie retorted—a reference to their characters’ frequent nudity and the show’s famously graphic sex scenes.
When Williams wondered if his costar meant that everyone had seen Heated Rivalry, joining them in the cottage several times, Storrie clarified: “That’s a maybe. But their trainers have, and their moms have. Their daughters have. Hi moms! Hi daughters!” He was greeted in return with whoops and cheers.
Those trainers, moms, and daughters evidently also crowded in to say hi the night before the ceremony. Storrie attended the Vanity Fair and MGM Amazon Studios pre-Globes party at the Bar Marmont Saturday, decked out in a Louis Vuitton suit. Storrie told VF at the event that he was still feeling bowled over by the kind of stars who are approaching him since the show’s success. “Awkwafina came up to me last night and said, ‘I love you,’ and I was like, ‘I cannot believe you’re talking to me right now,’” he said. “These were people who were really big when I was in high school.”

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner have turned awards show date nights into something of an art, whether they’re delighting the masses with PDA or showing up dressed in coordinated but not too matchy looks, and their joint appearance at the Golden Globes 2026 Sunday was no exception.
Their night was, in a word, golden: Before the show kicked off, Jenner forewent the red carpet and posted her dazzling antique metallic custom Ashi Studio column gown straight to her Instagram grid. The couture dress took over 300 hours to create, and was set off by more than 100 carats of Lorraine Schwartz diamond jewelry.
Chalamet started the night with a golden girl on his arm, and ended it with a new golden statue in his hand, taking the stage to accept the award for best actor, motion picture, musical or comedy category on Sunday for his critically lauded performance in Marty Supreme. He once again wore Chrome Hearts, a go-to label for his promotional and awards circuit for the movie so far.
He saluted the “greats” sharing the category, noting, “this category is stacked.”
After shouting out the filmmakers, studio, and “Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank,” Chalamet nodded to the fact that though this is his fifth Golden Globes nomination, it’s his first win at the show.
“My dad instilled in me a spirit of gratitude growing up, to always be grateful for what you have,” he said. “It’s allowed me to leave this ceremony in the past empty-handed, my head held high, grateful just to be here. I’d be lying if I didn’t say those moments didn’t make this moment that much sweeter.”
And, of course, the inevitable sweet nod to his family, Jenner included: “For my parents, for my partner. I love you.”
Inside the room, Jenner, who shared a quick kiss with Chalamet before he headed to the stage, could be spotted giggling with tablemate and co-star Odessa A’zion at the mention, saying, “I’m so happy.”

Chalamet is a perennial awards season darling, and he’s made it very clear that Jenner, his partner of about three years, is his darling. At the Critics Choice Awards 2026 earlier this month, where Chalamet scooped up a best actor statue, he shouted out Jenner in his acceptance speech, thanking her for the “foundation” the two had built together, calling her his “partner,” and saying, for the first time on a live national broadcast, that he loved her. Jenner, watching from the table, looked emotional at the statement, and could be seen mouthing “I love you” back at him.

If the Golden Globes red carpet 2026 is any indicator, awards season is off to a rollicking start. On Sunday, the 83rd annual Golden Globe Awards will be broadcast live from the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills. But before comedian Nikki Glaser returns for the second year in a row to host the ceremony that honors achievements in both film and television (and airs on both CBS and Paramount+), the Golden Globes red carpet 2026 sets the tone for what to expect from awards-show-season style.
As for the Golden Globe nominees, there were snubs and surprises, but this year Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, with its ensemble cast of Teyana Taylor, Leonardo DiCaprio, Chase Infiniti, Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, and Regina Hall, leads the pack with nine nods. Just behind PTA’s epic film is Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value, an exploration of familial dynamics starring Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård, and Elle Fanning, with eight nominations. Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, with Michael B. Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, and Jack O’Connell, earned seven nominations, while Chloé Zhao’s Shakespeare reimagining, Hamnet, with Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal, is nominated for six Golden Globes. Wicked: For Good, Jon M. Chu’s musical sequel with Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, is nominated for five awards.
And in the television categories, Mike White’s The White Lotus scored six nominations, the psychological crime drama Adolescence earned five, and Only Murders in the Building and Severance both earned four.
But before the awards are handed out and rousing acceptance speeches are delivered (which could make all the difference for Oscar hopefuls), see all the fashion, outfits, and looks from the Golden Globes red carpet 2026.

Awards season has officially left the station. Last weekend’s Critics Choice Awards set the engine in motion—and this weekend, the train continues chugging as the 83rd annual Golden Globes unfold Sunday night. As One Battle After Another tries to pull away from the best-picture pack and the acting races get increasingly cutthroat, a strong showing at the Globes has the power to change or cement an awards narrative. Without further ado, here’s your guide to how to watch the 2026 Golden Globes.
The 83rd annual Golden Globes will occur at the event’s usual venue, The Beverly Hilton, on Sunday, January 11. The ceremony is scheduled to start at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET.
For the second year in a row, Nikki Glaser will host the ceremony. A veteran comedian, Glaser knocked her first hosting gig out of the park last year, ending a streak of so-so and straight-up bad hosts at the Golden Globes. In an interview for Vanity Fair’s Hollywood Issue, Glaser revealed how much preparation she puts into high-profile gigs like hosting the Golden Globes. “There are people that can pull these things off with little to no preparation and are just that talented. I am not that person,” she said. “I need the training. I treat them like the Olympics. You only get one shot.”
Traditionalists can watch the Golden Globes live on CBS. Cord-cutters can stream the awards ceremony live on Paramount+.
As always, there’s a host of glittering stars nominated at this year’s Golden Globes. Going into the ceremony, the film with the most momentum is Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, leading the pack with nine nominations and multiple acting nominees in stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Teyana Taylor, Benicio Del Toro, Sean Penn, and newcomer Chase Infiniti. Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value follows close behind with eight nominations, including for Stellan Skarsgård, Elle Fanning, Renate Reinsve, and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas.
Elsewhere, Ariana Grande represents theater kids worldwide with a best-supporting-actress nomination for her work in Wicked: For Good. Jennifer Lawrence scored a lead-actress nod for Die My Love, Julia Roberts is back in the mix with After the Hunt, and Kate Hudson made the cut for her Neil Diamond tribute-band biopic, Song Sung Blue. Michael B. Jordan scored a nod for his dual roles in Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, while Critics Choice Award winners Jacob Elordi and Timothée Chalamet have the chance to win two weeks in a row for Frankenstein and Marty Supreme, respectively. Adam Sandler and George Clooney are recognized for Noah Baumbach’s Jay Kelly, and The Smashing Machine’s Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt are in contention as well.
And don’t forget that the Golden Globes also honor TV. In the supporting-actor categories, White Lotus stars Walton Goggins, Parker Posey, Jason Isaacs, Aimee Lou Wood, and Carrie Coon are all nominated. The Studio’s Seth Rogen and Catherine O’Hara scored noms in lead actor and supporting actress as well. And in the limited-series category, Netflix’s Adolescence has the opportunity to extend its winning streak, as Emmy winners Owen Cooper, Stephen Graham, and Erin Doherty are all nominated. For the first time ever, the Golden Globes will also give out a statuette for best podcast, which could go to, among others, a celebrity like Amy Poehler, for her Good Hang podcast, or Dax Shepard, for his Armchair Expert podcast.

There’s something about looking in the rearview mirror—even season after season in fashion—that gives us a bit of clarity. And it’s about that time: on Sunday, the biggest celebrity names will turn out on the Golden Globes red carpet and set the tone for many of our choices in the year. My hope is that if style in 2025 revolved around a breakneck speed competition for virality and the repackaging of self into a new kind of perfection (was it a coincidence that The Substance was a major player last awards year?), that in 2026 the fashion on the red carpet kicks off a quest for individuality.
We’ve already started to see some of the most interesting characters in Hollywood dressing the part: Teyana Taylor in a vertiginously cut Tom Ford dress by Haider Ackermann to the Time 100 Next gala late last year—the kind of sartorial irreverence only she could propose as black tie. And Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner in ping-pong ball-orange, upped the ante of how stars can leverage fashion to promote a film by way of a viral look. These two know well how to be famous, and understand how many eyes are on them when they step out together—why not embrace the circus? (There’s also Meg Stalter and Paul W. Downs, who meme-fied Chalamet and Jenner at the Critics Choice Awards earlier this week—yes, please, more fun!)
Alternatively, Jessie Buckley is embodying the movie star in her own, subtle and sophisticated way by wearing mostly black and white and offering resistance, in a sense, to the sartorial spectacle of the red carpet. Buckley, who is styled by Goldberg this season, has been wearing custom Dior and Chanel and The Row—the most coveted of labels. She looks great, but most of all looks like herself. How fabulous. The same could be said of Jacob Elordi and Paul Mescal, who look every bit the leading man without the gimmick of the internet boyfriend—no red carpet thirst traps or attempts at standing out for no reason at all. They look good, sexy; Elordi in a leather tie and Mescal in tuxedos worn over silky knit v-necks, both at the Critics Choice Awards. Even those behind the camera are coming as they are: see Chloé Zhao, in witchy and ethereal Lanvin and Rodarte frocks.
In the last year, the conversation around fashion could be neatly packaged into two separate bundles.
Within the industry, it was a time of disruption: close to two dozens of luxury fashion houses, including giants like Christian Dior, Chanel, and Gucci and small-but-mighty favorites like Loewe and Dries Van Noten changed their creative leads, altering the fashion landscape and the way in which we will dress moving forward. Giorgio Armani, one of the industry’s last-remaining working patriarchs, died in September at 91; and the Prada Group, which owns the Prada brand and Miu Miu, purchased Versace after Donatella Versace’s exit from the helm of the label she safeguarded and spearheaded for close to three decades following her brother Gianni’s murder in 1997. Fashion, in an emotional sense, is moving into 2026 without the work of two of its guiding lights.
From the outside looking in, fashion grappled with the rise of newly ever shrinking bodies. Thinness, now commandeered by Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs, refashioned the style landscape as models, actors, influencers, and even athletes were downsizing to new extremes. Clothes on the runways mostly shrank to accommodate to these standards of yore, which had been challenged by the body positivity movement of the late 2010s but were now being resurrected and revitalized. The number on the scales and measuring tapes seemingly mattered more than ever before, and if that wasn’t enough, but the adage “age is just a number” took literal meaning: The popularization of deep plane facelifts, and the conversation around the wealthy looking decades younger, took a toll on fashion, too. The new luxury is not just what’s in one’s closet, but how youthful and tiny that one can pay to look.

Yeah, I did. I think one of the most iconic looks is the Giambattista Valli at the Grammys [2020], which was kind of the last time [we worked together]. And so for us to come back and it’s just like, wow, bam, we’re back doing this.
How do you choose what happens when or which dress goes where?
For me, the best dress always wins. No matter what it is, no matter who made it, it’s always the best dress that will, for me, always win. I love the goosebumps. And when that happens, that is my drug. It’s like when that dress goes on and you get those goosebumps, you know that that’s the one and that’s the dress and that’s what we’re wearing to this place at this time.
More generally about your career, how now do you approach styling different people for different things? You have Zendaya, you have Ariana. What’s the Law playbook that differentiates them?
Them. I think one of the greatest compliments I’ve always gotten throughout my career is that none of my clients look the same. I believe in never changing anyone, but just aiding them and becoming the best version of themselves when it comes to fashion. And that’s been my goal, to always listen, to pay attention and to make it known that it’s a collaboration. Everything that Ariana’s worn is still very Ariana, and it’s not Zendaya, and it’s not Celine Dion, and it’s not this person or that person. And I’ve always taken a lot of pride in that and it’s a lot of work because every single dress is chosen because there’s something about it that reminds me of the client. And it makes the job harder because a lot of people can just go and just get a lot of clothes, and there’s a lot of people whose clients all look the same. Whether it’s good or bad, it’s just like, oh, you can see that person’s hand in it. And I don’t think that’s fair. I think women are so dynamic and amazing and they need to shine as their individual selves and not become a part of this thing.
This idea of “method dressing,” of dressing an actor in relation to the character and film, is something you, I think, helped define. I think of Zendaya with Challengers, Dune, and Spiderman—those moments are the blueprint for method dressing. What do you make of that becoming so popular?
You know what? I think we’ve always done that. Even back with The Greatest Showman. It’s just recently gotten a name, but again, it’s entertainment, it’s fun. It’s showmanship. It’s more than just picking out a pretty dress. It’s telling the story. Again, it’s the only way I can communicate. And it’s just fucking fun.
Back to Ariana, Glinda, and the color pink. How do you negotiate with having a short brief and playing with it when it comes to dressing someone?

Ben Affleck is addressing the “massive embarrassment” he experienced after the Oscars snubbed him in the Best Director category.
Affleck, 53, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday, January 5, and recalled his reaction to learning in 2013 that he was not nominated for directing the thriller Argo, which eventually won the Academy Award for Best Picture that year.
“It was the year, the horrible thing of everyone telling you, ‘You’re gonna get nominated, you’re gonna get nominated for director,’” Affleck told host Jimmy Kimmel, 58, adding, “And so, of course, I wake up that morning, and sure enough — and, by the way, it’s not [unlike] any other morning that I had not been nominated for Best Director. But all of a sudden, it’s a massive embarrassment. I woke up and people [said], ‘You didn’t get nominated.’”
Kimmel confessed that he’d thought of Affleck while watching Leonardo DiCaprio lose the Best Actor prize to Timothée Chalamet at the Critics’ Choice Awards the previous night. Meanwhile, One Battle After Another — the film starring DiCaprio, 51 — picked up awards for Best Picture and Best Director at the ceremony.
“I was thinking, boy, he’s got so many better places to be,” Kimmel joked of DiCaprio. “And the movie wins Best Picture. The director Paul Thomas Anderson wins Best Director, and then he doesn’t win. And I’m thinking he must be so pissed that [he had to leave] whatever he got airlifted from — a yacht somewhere — and couldn’t be there anymore. He came to lose.”
Kimmel’s sympathy for DiCaprio conjured Affleck’s Argo snub, “because this is maybe the worst award-show situation ever,” he mused. “I think you’re underselling this. Because Argo, not only was it nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture, you won Best Picture. You starred in it and directed it, and you were not nominated in either category … it’s as if the movie directed itself.”
Affleck admitted that he “felt” the same way at the time. The day the Oscar nominations were announced, he attended the 18th Critics’ Choice Awards in January 2013 and faced a line of reporters on the red carpet.
“It seemed like there were 500 people dying to talk to me,” he recalled. “And every single one of them [said], ‘Hi. So, the snub.’ What do you say to that? ‘Ha, ha, ha, yeah. It’s a bummer.’”
However, on a brighter note, he ended up winning the Best Director award for Argo that evening, besting Steven Spielberg for Lincoln and Kathryn Bigelow for Zero Dark Thirty.
“This negative event turns into a positive,” said Affleck, who congratulated Kimmel on winning the 2026 Critics’ Choice Award for Best Talk Show.
The actor, there to promote The Rip, his upcoming film with Matt Damon, read Kimmel a sarcastic note from Damon, 55, whom he quoted as writing, “You should have gotten canceled a long time ago. Maybe you would have gotten sympathy then so you could have won more than one minor movie award.”
Kimmel’s namesake talk show was briefly pulled off the air in September 2025 amid backlash from his commentary on the murder of right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk, who was shot to death that same month while speaking at Utah Valley University.
A Boston boy through and through. Ben Affleck has been a Hollywood A-lister for more than two decades, but he’s never forgotten his New England roots (or his love of Dunkin’ coffee). Born in Berkeley, California, the avid Red Sox fan moved to Massachusetts with his family when he was just 3 years old. He […]
While accepting the trophy at Sunday’s event in Santa Monica, California, Kimmel thanked “all the writers and actors and producers and union members, many of you who are in this room who supported us, who really stepped forward with us and reminded us that we do not take free speech for granted in this city or in this country. Your actions were important and we appreciate them.”

The front-runner for the Oscars is also likely to go home with the prize in this category. It’s notable that two actual musicals were not even nominated here this year, though: Wicked: For Good and The Testament of Ann Lee. The only real competition for One Battle in this category is Marty Supreme, another comedy that is tonally similar to Paul Thomas Anderson’s film. But the overwhelming popularity of the Leo DiCaprio drama should help it bring home the big prize of the night. —John Ross
PREDICTED WINNER: Paul Thomas Anderson, One Battle After Another
Ryan Coogler, Sinners
Guillermo del Toro, Frankenstein
Jafar Panahi, It Was Just an Accident
Joachim Trier, Sentimental Value
Chloé Zhao, Hamnet
It would be very Globesy (and kind of electrifying, frankly) for a less expected candidate like Ryan Coogler or Jafar Panahi to take this category. But One Battle and PTA feel undeniable—not only because Anderson made the most zeitgeisty movie of the year, but also because his Globe narrative is a lot like his Oscar narrative. That’s right: Paul Thomas Anderson has, somehow, never actually won a Golden Globe. Hell, until Licorice Pizza, he hadn’t even been nominated for one. Especially as Globe voters strive to prove their cinematic bona fides and legitimacy, it seems very unlikely that they’ll pass up the opportunity to reward a more-than-worthy auteur who’s long overdue for this sort of recognition. —Hillary Busis
Joel Edgerton, Train Dreams
Oscar Isaac, Frankenstein
Dwayne Johnson, The Smashing Machine
Michael B. Jordan, Sinners
PREDICTED WINNER: Wagner Moura, The Secret Agent
Jeremy Allen White, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere
This is a close race between two worthy actors: Michael B. Jordan, for playing twins Smoke and Stack in the blockbuster Sinners, and Wagner Moura, for playing a professor on the run in the Brazilian film The Secret Agent. Will Globe voters do a repeat of last year and reward a Brazilian actor over more popular or widely seen performances? Fernanda Torres’s win for I’m Still Here was a total surprise on Globes night 2025—but now we know just how large a Brazilian contingent there is amongst Globe voters. On the one hand, voters might not want to look like they are repeating themselves by giving another acting award to a Brazilian lead. On the other hand, it’s tough to deny the magnitude of Moura’s performance, which already won him best actor in Cannes. I’m betting on Moura to take this one, but it’s a close race! —J.R.
PREDICTED WINNER: Jessie Buckley, Hamnet
Jennifer Lawrence, Die My Love
Renate Reinsve, Sentimental Value
Julia Roberts, After the Hunt
Tessa Thompson, Hedda
Eva Victor, Sorry, Baby
This category hasn’t matched up with the eventual Oscar winner since 2020, when Renée Zellweger won for Judy. Instead, in recent years, it’s been sort of all over the place. (Nicole Kidman for Being the Ricardos? Really?) Then again, in the past two years, the eventual Oscar winners—Emma Stone for Poor Things and Mikey Madison for Anora—were competing in the comedy-musical category at the Globes. Jessie Buckley has been a very clear Oscar front-runner for her raw performance in Hamnet, so we’re guessing the Globe voters will align with that choice. But there’s always a chance they’ll want to shake things up by instead crowning a first-time nominee like Renate Reinsve or Eva Victor—or maybe giving some love to a movie star like three-time Globe winner Jennifer Lawrence. —R.F.
PREDICTED WINNER: Timothée Chalamet, Marty Supreme
George Clooney, Jay Kelly
Leonardo DiCaprio, One Battle After Another
Ethan Hawke, Blue Moon
Lee Byung-hun, No Other Choice
Jesse Plemons, Bugonia
