The 83rd Golden Globe Awards aired live Sunday from the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. Comedian Nikki Glaser hosted the awards show, which honored the best in film and television over the past year. Here are some of the show’s highlights:
Adolescence, One Battle After Another win big It was a big night for Adolescence, which won several Golden Globes, including best television limited series, anthology series or motion picture made for television; best performance by a male actor in a limited series, anthology series or a motion picture made for television for Stephen Graham; best performance by a male actor in a supporting role on TV for Owen Cooper, and best performance by a female actress in a supporting role on TV for Erin Doherty.
On the film side, One Battle After Another reigned supreme. It picked up four wins, including best motion picture (musical or comedy), best supporting actress in a motion picture, best screenplay and best director. In his acceptance speech for the script he wrote, director Paul Thomas Anderson thanked the people who inspired him. “Writers, we are magpies. We steal all the bits and pieces that everybody says as best we can,” he said. “So I share this with everybody I magpie’d off of.”
Nikki Glaser brings big laughs, roasts As the evening’s host, Glaser took the stage for the second year in a row, starting the night off with a bunch of big laughs and roasts for Hollywood’s finest. She “congratulated” Leonardo DiCaprio for having accomplished so much before his girlfriend turns 30 years old. She then turned her attention to DiCaprio’s One Battle After Another co-star Sean Penn, whom she referred to as “a sexy leather handbag.”
Teyana Taylor, Timothée Chalamet and other notable wins One Battle After Another actress Teyana Taylor won her first Golden Globe for her supporting role in the film. She gave a powerful speech while accepting the trophy, saying, “To my brown sisters and little brown girls nominated tonight, our softness is not a liability. Our depth is not too much. Our light does not need permission to shine. We belong in every room we walk into. Our dreams deserve space.”
Meanwhile, Timothée Chalamet won best performance by a male actor in a motion picture (musical or comedy) for his leading role in Marty Supreme, where he thanked Kylie Jenner, saying, “To my parents and my partner, I love you.” Rose Byrne was shocked to accept the award for best performance by a female actor in a motion picture (musical or comedy). She thanked her longtime partner, Bobby Cannavale, who couldn’t make it to the ceremony because he was attending a reptile expo in New Jersey.
The stars were out in Hollywood Sunday night for the Golden Globe Awards, and as always, the fashion was something to talk about.
Stars shining on the red carpet included: Tessa Thompson in a shiny green strapless Balenciaga gown; One Battle After Another’sChase Infiniti in a dress with a mirrored bodice; Kate Hudson in a shimmering silver Armani Privè gown; Elle Fanning, in a Gucci dress embellished with tiny flowers; and Sinners star Wunmi Mosaku, who made a statement in a bright yellow gown that revealed she was expecting a baby.
Black and white appeared to be one of the big trends this year. Among the standouts in black were The Bear’s Ayo Edeberi, who channeled old Hollywood in a Chanel dress; Selena Gomez, whose black gown was adorned with white feathers at the top; and ArianaGrande, who wore a structured black dress with a bubble skirt. Meanwhile, Claire Danes, Emily Blunt, Pamela Anderson and Amanda Seyfried were among the stars making statements in white.
There was also plenty of exposed skin on the red carpet. Jennifer Lawrence wowed in a sheer dress from Givenchy by Sarah Burton with an embroidered floral print that covered her in all the right places, while Jennifer Lopez showed off her body in a naked dress with strategically placed brown embellishments from LILY et Cie. Teyana Taylor revealed some skin in both the front and back of her custom Schiaparelli gown, which featured a diamond thong-like detail in the back. Jenna Ortega’s black dress was also daring, with open sides from her breasts to her hips.
And it wasn’t just the ladies making fashion statements. Heated Rivalry stars Hudson Williams and Connor Storrieboth brought the style, with Hudson wearing black pants paired with a white silk shirt, cummerbund and jacket from Armani, along with Bulgari jewelry. Connor wore a black Saint Laurent suit accented with a jeweled broach on his lapel. As always, Colman Domingo delivered in a black suit by Valentino with jeweled embellishments, and Michael B.

Timothy Busfield, an actor and director best known for his role as Danny Concannon on The West Wing, is facing charges of criminal sexual contact of a minor and child abuse, according to an arrest warrant out of New Mexico.
Busfield is accused of inappropriately touching a child actor on the set of The Cleaning Lady, a television series that Busfield directed and acted in, according to a criminal complaint obtained by ABC News.
The actor faces two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and one count of child abuse, according to the arrest warrant issued Friday by the Albuquerque Police Department.
It’s unclear if the actor is currently in custody. ABC News reached out to Busfield via his agent and did not immediately hear back.
The actor denied the allegations when interviewed by investigators, the criminal complaint says.
According to court documents, the parents of the boy reported that the alleged abuse began in 2022 when the child was 7 years old.
The investigation began in November 2024, after a physician at University of New Mexico Hospital examined the child and notified police of suspected sexual abuse, according to the criminal complaint.
An officer interviewed the children’s parents, who told investigators that the minor and his twin brother were child actors, the criminal complaint says. The children did not report sexual abuse at the time, according to the complaint.
The victim’s mother later reported to child protective services that Busfield had allegedly sexually abused her son from around November 2022 to Spring 2024.
Attorneys for Warner Bros., which produced The Cleaning Lady, told police they previously conducted an independent investigation into the allegations but said they could not find evidence to support the claims at the time, according to the complaint.
In a statement provided to ABC News by a company spokesperson, Warner Bros. Television said: “We take all allegations of misconduct very seriously and have systems in place to promptly and thoroughly investigate, and when needed, take appropriate action. We are aware of the current charges against Mr. Busfield and have been and will continue to cooperate with law enforcement.”
Busfield is married to actress Melissa Gilbert.
Court records for Busfield detailing an initial appearance or bond conditions were not immediately available.
Authorities said the case remains under investigation.

Black Mirror has been renewed for season 8 at Netflix.
The long-running dystopian anthology series is returning for an eighth season, the streamer announced on Friday. Its creator, Charlie Brooker, is currently writing the new season and teased what fans can expect.
“Black Mirror will return, and hopefully it’ll be more Black Mirror than ever,” Brooker told Netflix’s Tudum.
As for the future of the show, Brooker said, “Well, luckily it does have a future, so I can confirm that Black Mirror will return, just in time for reality to catch up with it. So, that’s exciting. That chunk of my brain has already been activated and is whirring away.”
Brooker said that putting a season of TV together is like creating an album. He was then asked what kind of tune season 8 will be.
“It’s a useful thought experiment when approaching a new story. I’ll often think of, ‘Well, what haven’t we done yet, and what tone am I looking for? … Where does this track come on the album, and what musical direction are we going to go into?'” Brooker said. “We’ll find out. Very unlikely you’ll ever see a Black Mirror hoedown.”
There is currently no word on when fans can expect to see season 8 of Black Mirror arrive on Netflix or who will appear in the new episodes.

Paul Mescal is set to follow in the footsteps of Timothée Chalamet and Jeremy Allen White by doing his own singing on the big screen.
The actor is the subject of a new article in British GQ, where it’s confirmed that Mescal will be doing his own singing when he plays Paul McCartney in Sam Mendes’ upcoming Beatles project, The Beatles — A Four-Film Cinematic Event.
“I’ve learned so much. It’s really inspired a love,” Mescal tells the magazine. “I’ve always loved music, but getting to play one of the great songwriters and great frontmen has really lit a fire in terms of personally writing music and engaging and hearing music in a different way.”
Mescal, who has met with McCartney a couple of times, calls the rock legend “the most brilliant man.”
“I feel emotionally attached to him,” he says. “He received me with great kindness and warmth.”
As for the story of The Beatles, he notes, “[T]hey had the most fascinating lives, and the interpersonal politics between them all, the love and the frustration, it’s such rich territory.”
The Beatles — A Four-Film Cinematic Event is scheduled to hit theaters in April 2028. In addition to Mescal, it stars Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr. Each film will be told from the point of view of one of the band members.
The Sony films will mark the first time Apple Corps Ltd. and The Beatles have granted a studio the rights to the life stories of the band members and their legendary catalog of music.
