"If the 2026 Golden Globes had a theme, it was "Normal service restored." After four months of Oscars season lifting up some contenders and humbling others, the Globes in many ways looped us back to where we thought we'd be in September: One Battle After Another cleaning up, as the runner-up, as a crafts-only play. That message was sent early in the night with the ceremony's first two categories, Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress."
"Neither of these wins repeated at the Globes, where the supporting prizes went to Teyana Taylor of OBAAand Stellan Skarsgård of Sentimental Value. For better and for worse, this duo feels like a much more plausible pair of Oscar winners: Taylor as an electric performer in the Best Picture front-runner, Skarsgård as a venerable European near the end of a long career."
Golden Globes 2026 conveyed a 'Normal service restored' vibe as the ceremony returned to expected outcomes after a turbulent Oscars season. Early categories signaled that the Globes realigned winners with industry predictions. Critics Choice unpredictability—an Amy Madigan win in Weapons and split support for Jacob Elordi—did not translate into Globe victories. Supporting acting awards went to Teyana Taylor for One Battle After Another and Stellan Skarsgård for Sentimental Value, both seen as plausible Oscar contenders. Both winners delivered memorable speeches, and their Globe victories suggested voters were aligning tastes with the Academy rather than offering distinctive choices.
