Everything to Know About the 2026 Golden Globes: Who’s Hosting, Who’s Honored and More

Nikki Glaser returns for her second year as Golden Globe Awards host in 2026.

The ​​Golden Globe Foundation — which succeeded Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) as the award show’s governing body in 2023 — will also honor the very best in TV and film in front of a star-studded crowd in Beverly Hills.

We are honored to celebrate her extraordinary contributions to entertainment.”

“Helen Mirren is a force of nature and her career is nothing short of extraordinary,” Golden Globes president Hoehne said. “Her transcendent performances and commitment to her craft continue to inspire generations of artists and audiences alike. It is a profound honor to present her with the Cecil B. DeMille Award.”
