Who was the first winner announced at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards?

Teyana Taylor was the first winner announced at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards, winning Best Female Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for One Battle After Another.

Taylor played Perfidia Beverly Hills in Paul Thomas Anderson's film. The role marked a major awards-season moment for the singer, dancer, actor, and choreographer, who was recognized alongside a film that ultimately led all movies with four wins.

Her victory came in the supporting-film-actor category, which included nominees from One Battle After Another, The Smashing Machine, Sentimental Value, and Wicked: For Good. Taylor's win was therefore one of the ceremony's earliest indicators that Anderson's film would have a strong night.

The 83rd Golden Globes took place on January 11, 2026, at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills. Nikki Glaser hosted the ceremony for the second consecutive year.
