"KPop Demon Hunters" and More: Winners That Made History at the 2026 Golden Globes
The star-studded 2026 Golden Globes ceremony came to a close, leaving behind a trail of unforgettable moments and surprising upsets. On one hand, fans of K-Pop were overjoyed as "KPop Demon Hunters" emerged victorious in not just one but two categories - Best Original Song for "Golden" and Best Animated Film.
Meanwhile, Paul Thomas Anderson was on fire, taking home three coveted awards - Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Director – Motion Picture, and Best Screenplay – Motion Picture for his critically acclaimed film, "One Battle After Another."
Anderson's impressive win marked a rare feat, as he became the second person in history to claim these three prestigious awards within one year. His film is now firmly in the picture to take home the Oscar for Best Picture.
The ceremony also saw memorable wins from past hosts, with Ricky Gervais taking home the Best Performance in Stand-up Comedy on Television award for his special "Mortality," and Amy Poehler winning the inaugural award for Best Podcast for her show "Good Hang With Amy Poehler" (Spotify).
On the film side, while several other movies received some recognition, two notable films that didn't fare well were "Frankenstein" and its sequel, "Wicked: For Good." These movies failed to secure any of the coveted awards.
In contrast, "The White Lotus" led all TV shows with six nominations but ultimately came up empty-handed.

. Anyway, let's dive into what actually happened at the event.
.
, i mean those songs are catchy but not exactly my cup of tea lol anyway, congrats to them! 
and I'm loving Paul Thomas Anderson's win 
he must have been so relieved when the envelope was opened 
. it's crazy that he's the second person to get those three awards in one year, talk about a career on fire 
.
I'm so stoked for K-Pop Demon Hunters!!! 
Two wins at the Golden Globes is HUGE 
and I think it's amazing that they're getting the recognition they deserve! I mean, who wouldn't love a movie about demon hunters with catchy songs? 
. And can we talk about Paul Thomas Anderson's win for taking home THREE awards? 
I'm so excited to see what he does next and if his film "One Battle After Another" takes home that Oscar 
.
just saw that KPop Demon Hunters won two Golden Globes 
his film "One Battle After Another" is gonna be a total Oscar fave 
Ricky Gervais's win for stand-up comedy is so funny lol, I need to check out that special ASAP 
and Amy Poehler winning Best Podcast is SO inspiring 
I'm low-key sad for "Frankenstein" & its sequel tho 
they got robbed of some love... but congrats to all the winners! 
right? and they picked some weird winners for Best Animated Film... KPop Demon Hunters, huh? I mean I'm not gonna lie, I've never heard of 'em before 
. And can we talk about how some movies just get snubbed while others that are total trash like "Frankenstein" and its sequel get all the love? It's just so rigged 
.
and i'm rooting for "One Battle After Another" to win the Oscar. Ricky Gervais taking home that Best Performance award for his stand-up comedy special is just too funny 
and Amy Poehler's podcast win is so exciting, can't wait to check it out 
On the other hand, I feel bad for those movies that didn't win anything, like "Frankenstein" - I loved that movie when I saw it in theaters last year 
but seriously though, who would have thought k-pop would be taking over hollywood? 
i feel like we're living in a different world right now where anything can happen 
and now he's in the running for the Oscar for Best Picture... wow! 
.
.
! "KPop Demon Hunters" killing it in two categories? That's what I call a power move
