What Golden Globe category did Michelle Williams win in 2026 for Dying for Sex?

The story behind the answer

Michelle Williams won Best Female Actor in a Limited Series for Dying for Sex at the 2026 Golden Globes.

Dying for Sex is a television miniseries inspired by the podcast of the same name. Williams stars as Molly, a woman who leaves her marriage after receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis and explores intimacy, friendship and personal autonomy with her best friend.

The Golden Globe category recognizes a lead performance in a limited series, anthology series or television movie. It differs from the supporting-actor television categories, which were won at the same ceremony by Owen Cooper and Erin Doherty for Adolescence.

The award also should not be confused with Williams’s film nominations and wins from earlier ceremonies. In 2026, the relevant work was television, and the specific production was Dying for Sex. The limited-series classification reflects the program’s planned self-contained story.
