The 2026 Golden Globes ceremony witnessed a spectacular fusion of global star power when Indian actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas and K-pop sensation Lalisa 'Lisa' Manobal of BLACKPINK took the stage together as presenters. The duo, representing a cross-cultural bridge between Hollywood, Bollywood, and the global music scene, presented one of the night's key awards, creating a memorable moment for audiences worldwide.
A Star-Studded Presentation Duo
The event unfolded on January 12, 2026, at the prestigious Beverly Hilton. Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who had earlier captivated photographers on the red carpet with her husband Nick Jonas, was joined by Lisa to present the award for Best Actor (Male) in a TV Series – Drama. Host Nikki Glaser introduced them with a playful quip, referencing Lisa's role in The White Lotus and Priyanka's marriage to Nick Jonas, saying, "One was in The White Lotus and one wed the white Nick Jonas."
Smiling broadly, the pair greeted the audience. Priyanka expressed their honour in presenting the award, while Lisa praised the incredible talent of the actors nominated in the category. They then proceeded to announce the distinguished list of nominees.
The Nominees and the Winner
The actors vying for the trophy were a mix of established legends and acclaimed stars. The nominees included:
- Sterling K. Brown for Paradise
- Diego Luna for Andor
- Gary Oldman for Slow Horses
- Mark Ruffalo for Task
- Adam Scott for Severance
- Noah Wyle for The Pitt
In a unified announcement, Priyanka and Lisa revealed Noah Wyle as the winner for his role in the medical drama The Pitt. Priyanka handed him the coveted Golden Globe award before the presenters exited the stage together.
The Pitt, which premiered on January 9, 2025, is an American medical procedural created by R. Scott Gemmill. Wyle not only stars in the lead role but also serves as an executive producer. The ensemble cast features Tracy Ifeachor, Patrick Ball, and Indian actress Supriya Ganesh, among others. The show has already garnered critical acclaim, winning five awards at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards for its first season.
Red Carpet Fashion and Prior Appearances
Prior to the presentation, Priyanka Chopra made a grand entrance on the red carpet with Nick Jonas. She turned heads in a breathtaking custom Dior Haute Couture gown designed by Jonathan Anderson, accessorized with elegant jewellery from Bvlgari. Heartwarming moments from their appearance, including Nick gently fixing Priyanka's hair, quickly went viral on social media, endearing them further to fans.
This was not Priyanka's first rodeo at the Golden Globes. Her history with the awards includes attendance in 2017 and 2020. Notably, she also presented an award back in 2017, sharing the stage with actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan. For Lisa, the event marked a significant post-acting debut appearance, following her role in the HBO series The White Lotus in 2025.
The collaboration between Priyanka Chopra Jonas and BLACKPINK's Lisa at the Golden Globes 2026 underscored the increasingly global and interconnected nature of the entertainment industry, creating a landmark moment that resonated from Los Angeles to Mumbai and Seoul.
