Two young actors from the popular television show Heated Rivalry have been officially announced as presenters for the 83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards. They are set to take the stage on Sunday, January 11, at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles.
Their scheduled appearance marks a significant moment for the breakout stars of the sports drama series, which concluded its celebrated final season earlier in 2025. Their participation is part of the event’s plan to feature a mix of established legends and new, popular talent from film and television.
Details of the 2026 Golden Globes Ceremony
The ceremony will be broadcast live on CBS and streamed on Paramount+ starting at 8:00 PM Eastern Time / 5:00 PM Pacific Time.
Returning to host the show for her second consecutive year is comedian and actress Nikki Glaser. Her 2025 hosting debut was widely praised by critics, who noted her sharp and charming style. In a recent interview, Glaser shared her excitement about the event.
“There’s lots to joke about this year — and the star power in the room is going to be bigger than ever. I mean, it’s bigger than last year,” Glaser told People magazine.
This year’s ceremony will also make history by presenting the inaugural Golden Globe Award for Best Podcast. Nominees in this new category include popular shows like SmartLess, Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard, and NPR’s Up First.
A Look at the Major Nominees
On the film side, Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another leads all movies with an impressive nine total nominations, including Best Motion Picture in the Musical or Comedy category. Other top contenders are Sentimental Value with eight nominations and Sinners with seven.
In television, HBO’s The White Lotus is the most-nominated series with six nods. The Netflix limited series Adolescence follows closely with five nominations.
Some of the biggest names in Hollywood are competing for awards. Leonardo DiCaprio is nominated for his leading role in One Battle After Another, while his co-star Teyana Taylor is up for Best Supporting Actress. Timothée Chalamet is nominated for Marty Supreme, and Jessie Buckley is a frontrunner for her performance in Hamnet.
Several actors received their first-ever Golden Globe nominations this year, including Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, and Chase Infiniti.
Events Surrounding Golden Globes Week
The main awards show on Sunday is the centerpiece of a full week of Hollywood celebrations and events.
A new primetime special called “Golden Eve” aired on Thursday, January 8, 2026, on CBS and Paramount+. This separate ceremony honored this year’s recipients of the lifetime achievement awards: Helen Mirren, who received the Cecil B. DeMille Award, and Sarah Jessica Parker, who was given the Carol Burnett Award.
Other notable events during the week included The Hollywood Reporter’s Nominees Night Party on January 8 and a series of studio parties and brunches hosted by networks like Netflix, NBCUniversal, and Amazon.

Notable Snubs and Surprises from the Nominations
The announcement of nominees in December brought some unexpected outcomes. The film Wicked: For Good, despite earning acting nominations for Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, did not secure a nomination for Best Musical or Comedy film, and its director, Jon M. Chu, was also not nominated.
In television, Meryl Streep was not nominated for her guest role on Only Murders in the Building, even though her co-stars Selena Gomez, Martin Short, and Steve Martin all received nods. Another surprise was the nomination for Glen Powell in the comedy series Chad Powers, which many awards watchers did not anticipate.
On the other hand, fans were pleased to see Rhea Seehorn finally receive a Golden Globe nomination for her leading role in the Apple TV+ series Pluribus, after years of being overlooked for her work on Better Call Saul.
