Golden Globes 2026 Date Revealed: Nikki Glaser Returns as Host for 83rd Edition on January 11
The 83rd edition of the Golden Globe Awards is officially set to take place on Sunday, January 11, 2026, at the iconic Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. The prestigious awards ceremony, which honors the best in film and television, is already creating buzz thanks to the return of comedian Nikki Glaser as the host. This highly anticipated event will be broadcast live on CBS and will also stream on Paramount+, ensuring that fans worldwide can tune in to celebrate Hollywood’s finest.
Nikki Glaser, who made history during the 2025 Golden Globes as the first woman to serve as a solo host, is set to bring her signature wit and fearless humor back to the stage. Her previous performance was widely praised for injecting a new energy into the awards show, and her return is seen as a major draw for both viewers and industry insiders. Glaser expressed her excitement about hosting again, saying, “Hosting the Golden Globes this year was without a doubt the most fun I have ever had in my career. I can’t wait to do it again, and this time in front of the team from ‘The White Lotus’ who will finally recognise my talent and cast me in Season 4 as a Scandinavian Pilates instructor with a shadowy past.” Her comment reflects both her comedic edge and her aspirations in the entertainment industry.
Helen Hoehne, president of the Golden Globes, praised Glaser’s previous hosting performance, stating, “Nikki Glaser brought a refreshing spark and fearless wit to the Golden Globes stage this year. Her sharp humour and bold presence set the tone for an unforgettable night, making the ceremony feel vibrant and most of all fun.” The decision to bring Glaser back underscores the organisers’ commitment to maintaining a lively and modern tone for the show.
As part of the buildup to the 2026 ceremony, nominations for the best in movies and television will be announced on December 8, 2025. This announcement is expected to generate significant excitement across the industry as it sets the stage for one of the biggest nights in entertainment. While the complete awards timeline is still pending, fans and insiders alike are eagerly anticipating further updates.
Dick Clark Productions, the powerhouse behind the production of the Golden Globes, will once again handle the planning and execution of the event. Last year’s show attracted an impressive 9.3 million Live+Same Day viewers, marking a slight dip from 2024, but still considered a successful outcome given the overall enthusiasm and positive reception from viewers and critics alike. Much of the credit for the show’s success has been attributed to Glaser’s dynamic hosting, and expectations are high for her second round.
The 2026 awards season is already shaping up to be a star-studded affair, with the Golden Globes joining a packed calendar. The Oscars will be held on March 15 and will air on ABC, while the 32nd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards are scheduled for Sunday, March 1, and will be streamed on Netflix. The Producers Guild Awards will take place on February 28, making for a busy and exciting season for film and television professionals and fans alike.
With Nikki Glaser returning to helm the Golden Globes, and a slate of high-profile awards shows lined up, the 2026 awards season promises unforgettable moments, red carpet glamour, and heartfelt celebrations of artistic excellence. The Golden Globes, in particular, are poised to kick off the new year with style, humor, and a fresh perspective that reflects the evolving entertainment landscape.
