Red carpet: where to catch arrivals and interviews
If you want arrivals, interviews and the pre-show energy, organizers and outlets are offering several live options across social platforms and cable.
- Official Golden Globes social feeds — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, X and Threads — will carry red-carpet coverage starting in the late afternoon Pacific time.
- Entertainment network E! will present “E! Live from the Red Carpet” beginning at 7 p.m. ET; available through live-TV services such as DirecTV, Sling and Hulu + Live TV.
- Industry outlets are producing digital pre-shows: Variety launches a livestream from its site and YouTube channel, while WWD will stream its pre-show on WWD.com and social channels.
Who’s hosting and what to expect
Comedian and actor Nikki Glaser returns as host for a second consecutive year. Producers say her approach remains rooted in tight, current-focused material and fast turnaround: she and her writers monitor arrivals and can revise bits up to the last minute to respond to what unfolds on camera.
Glaser has previously acknowledged that not every joke makes the live broadcast; some material is cut in the writers’ room and never made public. This year, she resumes the role with that same mix of spontaneity and caution.
Leading nominees and notable categories
The nominations reflect films and series that captured critics’ and voters’ attention in 2025. Topping the list with nine nods is Paul Thomas Anderson’s high-profile satire One Battle After Another, which competes in the Best Comedy/Musical field and earned acting nominations for Leonardo DiCaprio and Chase Infiniti.
On the television side, HBO’s The White Lotus leads with six nominations; Netflix’s Adolescence follows with five. The Best Motion Picture – Drama race includes several heavy-hitters and critical favorites.
- Top film nominee: One Battle After Another — 9 nominations
- Top TV nominee: The White Lotus — 6 nominations
- Notable new category: Podcasts — part of the Globes’ recent expansion to recognize audio programming
Adding podcasts to the ballot for the third time since 2024 has brought household names into the mix; among the contenders are series hosted by Amy Poehler and Dax Shepard, spotlighting how award shows are adapting to audience habits beyond screen-based storytelling.
Why this year’s show matters
Aside from the usual celebration of acting and filmmaking, the 2026 Globes offer a snapshot of industry trends: streaming platforms continuing to dominate nominations, the rising profile of audio formats, and networks balancing traditional broadcast with subscription streaming windows. For viewers, that shapes not only where to tune in but how and when they’ll be able to watch highlights and full coverage.
Presenters to watch
Organizers announced a broad roster of presenters spanning established stars and current favorites. Expect a mix of actors, comedians and musicians on stage.
- Amanda Seyfried

- Chris Pine
- George Clooney
- Jennifer Garner
- Julia Roberts
- Miley Cyrus
- Melissa McCarthy
- Orlando Bloom
- Priyanka Chopra Jonas
- Regina Hall

That lineup indicates a blend of comedy and drama personalities, and several presenters have recent projects that are also in contention — a common awards-season crossover that can shape red-carpet conversation and speech moments.
