Julia Roberts was one of the many luminaries to shine at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards, turning heads with her ageless beauty and chic style.
The 58-year-old Oscar winner graced the Beverly Hilton red carpet on Sunday evening, where the stars of film and television gathered for the highly anticipated event.
Roberts, known for her iconic role in Pretty Woman, looked radiant in a black gown that exuded elegance and a touch of nostalgia.
The dress featured a daring low-cut neckline, allowing her to showcase her natural beauty.
The 1980s-inspired design added an extra flair, with structured shoulder pads elevating the timeless silhouette.
Completing the look were a pair of high heels, adding an extra inch to her graceful presence.
A bold accessory stole the show—Roberts wore a striking gold necklace adorned with a sparkling diamanté strawberry pendant, matching it with a ring that mirrored the design.
Her blonde locks were styled in soft waves, parted down the middle to frame her face.
The actress’s makeup was fresh and natural, with a subtle pink lip, enhancing her youthful glow and proving that she continues to age like fine wine.
Nikki Glaser Returns as Host with a Twist
Once again, comedian Nikki Glaser took center stage as the host for the Golden Globes, bringing her unfiltered, sharp sense of humor to the event.
This marked her second consecutive year as the emcee, and based on her past performances, audiences were likely in for a night of unapologetic comedy.
Glaser, who’s known for her witty and no-holds-barred approach, shared her excitement for the gig, claiming it was the most fun she’d ever had in her career.
She even joked about a dream role on The White Lotus as a Scandinavian Pilates instructor with a mysterious past.
Whether or not that role is coming soon, it’s clear Glaser knows how to keep the A-list crowd entertained.
One Battle After Another Leads the Nominations
In the film category, One Battle After Another emerged as the frontrunner, boasting a massive nine nominations.
The action-packed film starring Leonardo DiCaprio captured attention with nods for Best Picture, Director, and Best Actor.
It also saw supporting actor nominations for Benicio del Toro and Sean Penn.
The competition is fierce, however, with other films like Blue Moon, Bugonia, Marty Supreme, and No Other Choice also in the running for Best Picture – Musical or Comedy.
The surprise snub of the night was Wicked: For Good, which failed to secure a spot in that category.
Big Names Vie for Top Honors in Best Picture – Drama
The Best Picture – Drama category is shaping up to be another fierce battle.
Nominated films include Frankenstein, Hamnet, It Was Just An Accident, The Secret Agent, Sentimental Value, and Sinners.
All of these films come with strong pedigrees and captivating performances, ensuring that no one will be resting easy when the final winners are announced.
Television Shines with Nominations Across the Board
The television side of the Golden Globes also brought some exciting surprises.
Netflix’s hit Adolescence, which previously dominated the Emmy Awards, continued its momentum with several nominations, including Best TV Series – Limited or Anthology, and nods for its breakout stars like Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty.
It wasn’t just Adolescence that garnered attention.
The White Lotus also had a stellar showing with six nominations, mostly in the acting categories, thanks to its all-star ensemble cast.
Erin Doherty from Adolescence will face off against Aimee Lou Wood from The White Lotus in the Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role – TV category, a showdown that fans will be eagerly anticipating.
Surprises and Snubs
While there were many familiar faces on the nominations list, there were also some notable surprises and snubs.
Sydney Sweeney, for example, missed out on a nomination for her role in Christy in the Best Actress – Drama category, leaving the door wide open for Jennifer Lawrence (who earned a nod for Die My Love), Tessa Thompson, and Julia Roberts.
The absence of Wicked: For Good in the Best Musical or Comedy category was also a major surprise, as fans and critics alike had expected the sequel to be a frontrunner.
A Historic Honor for Helen Mirren
As the Golden Globes ceremony drew closer, one winner had already been decided.
Dame Helen Mirren was selected as this year’s recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement.
This prestigious honor is reserved for individuals who have made an extraordinary impact on the entertainment industry.
Previous recipients include legends like Meryl Streep, Alfred Hitchcock, and last year’s winner, Viola Davis.
Helen Hoehne, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, expressed admiration for Mirren’s unparalleled career.
“Helen Mirren is a force of nature,” Hoehne said.
“Her transcendent performances and commitment to her craft continue to inspire generations of artists and audiences alike.”
Looking Ahead to a Night of Glittering Triumphs
As the Golden Globe Awards approach, all eyes will be on the stars who walk the red carpet, the unforgettable speeches, and the groundbreaking wins.
With major films and television series up for contention, there’s no telling who will take home the coveted trophies.
One thing is for sure, though: this year’s Golden Globes will be one for the history books, full of dazzling moments and unexpected surprises.
