THE Golden Globes took place on Sunday night, kicking off the 2026 awards season.
But who won what, and which movies and stars were brutally snubbed?
From Wicked: For Good being completely left out of the mix, to a British actor being the youngest ever winner of a Golden Globes category – it’s safe to say it was an eventful evening.
Adolescence’s Owen Cooper, who is just 16 years of age, became the youngest-ever winner of the supporting actor award at the ceremony.
Fans were quick to react to Owen’s win, with many flocking to social media.
One person said: “I couldn’t think of anyone more deserving! I can see an Oscar in his future for his next film!”
Another added: “Kid’s out here making the rest of us look bad at 16.”
While a third penned: “16 and already winning everything.”
And a fourth said: “16 years old and already sweeping the Emmy, Golden Globe, and Critics Choice… Owen Cooper is officially a prodigy. Future Hollywood legend in the making.”
The Netflix series Adolescence took home several gongs from the TV categories at the glitzy event, with two of his co-stars also picking up awards.
Adolescence’s Stephen Graham was named best actor in a TV mini series, while Erin Doherty scooped best supporting actress.
Speaking about the Netflix smash-hit on-stage last night, Adolescence’s co-creator Jack Thorne said: “Some think our show is about how we should be frightened of young people. It’s not.
“It’s about the filth and the debris we have laid in their path.”
Another stand-out winner was Irish star Jessie Buckley, who was named best actress in a drama for her role in new movie Hamnet.
“This is not a normal feeling or situation to be in,” she said while delivering her acceptance speech.
But despite the success of the British psychological crime drama television series, Hollywood smash hit Wicked: For Good did not take home one single gong.
