The 83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards, held at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on Sunday, January 11, 2026, was a night of cinematic triumphs, emotional speeches, and unforgettable celebrity moments. Standout winners included Timothée Chalamet, Rose Byrne, and the political satire Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another.
Hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, the ceremony celebrated both established stars and breakout talent, with highlights ranging from on-stage tributes to viral moments between Hollywood’s biggest names.
Timothée Chalamet Wins Best Actor for Marty Supreme
Timothée Chalamet, 30, claimed the Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy award for his role as Marty Mauser, a pioneering ping pong player in Marty Supreme. Chalamet triumphed over George Clooney (Jay Kelly), Leonardo DiCaprio (One Battle After Another), Ethan Hawke (Blue Moon), Lee Byung-hun (No Other Choice), and Jesse Plemons (Bugonia).
During his emotional acceptance speech, Chalamet thanked his parents, his costars, and his partner, Kylie Jenner, who attended as his date.
“For my parents, for my partner, I love you. Thank you so much. I couldn’t do this without you,” Chalamet said, sharing a kiss with Jenner onstage.
The couple later shared a heartwarming moment as Chalamet’s name was engraved on the trophy, exchanging smiles and kisses. Jenner, who skipped the red carpet, spent the night mingling with stars like Jennifer Lawrence and Odessa A’Zion, while maintaining a loving presence by Chalamet’s side.
Chalamet also credited director Josh Safdie, co-writer Ronnie Bronstein, and his ensemble cast—including Odessa A’Zion, Gwyneth Paltrow, Tyler, The Creator, Fran Drescher, and Kevin O’Leary—for their support in bringing Marty Mauser to life.
“In spirit, this is the most who I was that I’ve had to play a role. This is who I was before I had a career,” he told The Hollywood Reporter, reflecting on years of table tennis training for the role.
Rose Byrne Wins Best Actress for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You

“I want to thank my husband, Bobby, who couldn’t be here because we’re getting a bearded dragon. So, thank you, baby.”
