Golden Globes 2026 Winner Predictions

Preview

The 83rd Golden Globes is well about to be underway in a few hours and I’m truly looking forward to it? Weird to say, but alas, the 82nd was so based in terms of winners last year that I had to give a few flowers to the Globes. I mean they kind of wiped the floor with my Critics Choice last year by giving Brady Corbet best director while we had Jon M. Chu. *shudders* 

Anyway, for this being an all across good film year and no signs of the old HFPA foolishness being present — if Golden Globes Foundation was like HFPA,  Wicked: For Good in Best Picture and Sydney Sweeney for Christy would’ve been here— tonight will probably be no different. With that said, below are my predictions of the Golden Globes Winners 2026
