The awards drew about 8.7 million viewers on Sunday night, down a little from 2025. The audience for the 2026 Golden Globes fell off a bit year to year.

From historic wins to powerful speeches, here are the highlights and most memorable moments from the 2026 Golden Globes.

Amy Poehler won the inaugural Golden Globe Award for best podcast for her celebrity interview show, "Good Hang."

The comic, who just hosted the awards show for the second year in a row, also shared the jokes that didn't make the cut with radio host Howard Stern.

Before unleashing her opening monologue at the Globes — which included quips about Leonardo DiCaprio for dating younger women, CBS News and lusting after Michael B. Jordan — Glaser told PEOPLE exclusively that her goal was “to challenge myself to not say the thing that people are going to expect and try something else.”

The 2026 Golden Globes saw another year-over-year audience decrease with 8.66M live + same-day viewers tuning in for the 83rd edition of the awards ceremony, according to Nielsen data shared with Deadline.
