The champagne is on ice and Hollywood's elite are ready to party as the 2026 Golden Globe Awards ceremony is set to begin. The event, which serves as the glamorous and often unpredictable kickoff to the film industry's awards season, returns with a star-studded list of nominees and presenters, including India's own Priyanka Chopra Jonas.
When and Where to Watch the Ceremony in India
The 83rd Golden Globe Awards will commence at 6:30 AM Indian Standard Time (IST) on Monday. The ceremony is being held at its traditional venue, the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. For viewers in India, the event will be streamed live exclusively on the Lionsgate Play platform. This early morning timing allows Indian audiences to catch the red carpet arrivals and the main ceremony live.
Nikki Glaser Returns as Host and the Star-Studded Lineup
Comedian Nikki Glaser is back to helm the show for a second consecutive year, following a widely praised debut in 2025 where she made history as the first woman to host the Globes solo. Known for her sharp wit, Glaser has promised another entertaining evening. The list of presenters unveiled recently is a mix of industry veterans and fresh faces.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas is among the notable names who will take the stage to present an award. She joins a formidable lineup that includes George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Ana de Armas, Kevin Hart, and global K-pop sensation Lalisa Manobal (Lisa from BLACKPINK).
Top Nominees and Lifetime Achievement Honours
Leading the pack this year is the film One Battle After Another with nine nominations, including acting nods for Leonardo DiCaprio and Chase Infiniti, and a directing nomination for Paul Thomas Anderson. It is competing in the comedy categories. Other major contenders include Timothée Chalamet for Marty Supreme, Michael B. Jordan for Sinners, and Emma Stone for Bugonia.
On the television front, The White Lotus leads with six nominations. The ceremony will also honour two legends with lifetime achievement awards. Screen icon Dame Helen Mirren will receive the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award, while television star and producer Sarah Jessica Parker will be bestowed with the Carol Burnett Award for her outstanding contributions to TV.
The Golden Globes are unique for dividing top film honours into drama and musical or comedy categories, creating a more expansive field of winners. While the voting body differs from the Oscars, a win here is a significant boost for any campaign, setting the stage for the rest of the awards season which culminates with the Academy Awards on March 15.
