The 83rd Golden Globe Awards, hosted by Nikki Glaser, marked the unofficial start of Hollywood's awards season, honoring achievements in film and television. Early awards included Teyana Taylor for Best Supporting Actress in "One Battle After Another" and Stellan Skarsgard for Best Supporting Actor in "Sentimental Value." In television categories, Jean Smart secured her third Golden Globe for her role in "Hacks," while Noah Wyle won Best Actor in a TV Drama for "The Pitt." A notable win was 16-year-old Owen Cooper for Best Supporting Actor in a TV series for his performance in "Adolescence," making him one of the youngest recipients.
The ceremony also presented its first award for Best Podcast to "Good Hang with Amy Poehler." The event occurred amidst industry speculation regarding Netflix's proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. and highlighted a trend of the Golden Globes mirroring Emmy winners in recent years. Some attendees wore pins protesting ICE actions, reflecting a more politically engaged atmosphere compared to previous ceremonies.
