The Highs, Lows, and Whoas of the 2026 Golden Globes

Nikki Glaser immediately won over the audience with her quick wit and humor. Returning as a Golden Globes host for the second time, she confidently took the stage and delivered a strong opening monologue. Known for her playful roasts, Glaser’s jokes mostly targeted those who could handle them. Kevin Hart was teased about his height and the Jumanji films, while Sean Penn endured a joke about his adventurous travels and alleged drug use. Glaser also didn’t shy away from poking fun at Hollywood’s corporate side, with sharp observations about the Warner Bros. sale and a playful jab at CBS News being a source of “See BS news.” It was a welcome dose of silly wordplay! —JM

One Battle After Another Is Winning the War

Producer Sara Murphy described the filmmaking process as “one of the most incredible experiences of my life” while accepting the award. She dedicated it to the late Adam Somner, saying they missed him dearly. Murphy also expressed gratitude to Mike, Pam, and David for their early support of the film, and praised the abundance of original films released this year, calling it “a feast for us all.”

The Jessie Buckley Train Chugs Along

She also made a point of saying her husband is really enjoying the drinks and appetizers, which are definitely a perk of attending these events. Her main competition for awards so far is Rose Byrne, who previously won Best Actress in a Comedy, but most people still anticipate seeing Buckley accept several awards this season. Hopefully, her acceptance speeches will continue to be delightfully unusual, and she’ll keep eliciting a few tears from Paul Mescal along the way.

Kal Penn Was Ready to Get Naked for Industry

Kal Penn’s character, Jay Jonah Atterbury, in the fourth season of Industry, takes familiar traits from his previous role as Kumar and twists them. What used to be playful and laid-back now comes across as unpleasant, especially when laced with casual racism. His self-deprecating humor feels less like a charm and more like a shield. Penn skillfully portrays Jonah, a co-founder of the fintech firm Tender, as arrogant and self-important. However, the season premiere also sets him up as a surprisingly sympathetic figure when he’s betrayed by his close friend and business partner, Whitney. This betrayal suggests Jonah might be one of many characters who will buckle under the pressure of the competitive world depicted in the show throughout the season.
