Host of the 2026 Golden Globes
After comedian Jo Koy’s poorly received hosting stint, which led some to suggest the show go hostless, Nikki Glaser took over last year. As the first woman to host the event solo, she won over audiences with her sharp jokes targeting everyone from Ben Affleck to Timothée Chalamet’s mustache. Given her success, she’s returning to host again this year.

Wagner Moura (The Secret Agent) may take Best Actor in a Drama, and Amanda Seyfried (The Testament of Ann Lee) has a good chance for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy.
