What Golden Globe category did Rose Byrne win in 2026 for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You?

Rose Byrne won Best Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy at the 2026 Golden Globes for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.

The film is a dark comedy directed by Mary Bronstein. Byrne plays Linda, a mother facing an increasingly overwhelming personal crisis while trying to maintain control of her family and professional life.

The award belongs to the lead acting category for a musical or comedy motion picture. It is not a supporting acting prize, and it is not the equivalent television category. Those distinctions are important because the Golden Globes divide acting awards by both medium and performance type.

Byrne’s win was one of the ceremony’s notable acting results. The same film category included performances from other leading actresses, but Byrne prevailed for her work in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. The film’s unusual title is taken directly from the production’s official name.
