Golden Globes 2026: TV winners echo the Emmys as The Pitt, Adolescence and The Studio dominate the big night

Golden Globes 2026 felt like déjà vu because it took us back to the recent Emmys, where the same shows cleaned up and swept the awards in almost the exact same way. Seeing them dominate again at the 2026 Golden Globes made the night feel familiar, like a repeat of an already iconic win streak.

The Pitt, Adolescence, and The Studio were running the party. So yes, the TV winners absolutely echoed the Emmys, and honestly, no one in the room looked surprised. Golden Globes 2026 turned into a celebration of shows that fans already can’t stop talking about.

From emergency rooms to toxic incel masculinity, to movie studios, these shows took over the night at the Golden Globes 2026 awards function

Let’s talk domination. At the Golden Globes 2026, The Pitt won the award for Best Drama Series, The Studio ruled the comedy lane, and Adolescence crushed the limited series category. That’s the exact trio that cleaned up at the Emmys, which made the whole night feel like a remix everyone secretly loves.

The acting awards followed the same energy. Noah Wyle won the award for Best Male Actor in a television drama for The Pitt, proving that fans love watching high-pressure hospital drama.

Seth Rogen also walked away smiling again for The Studio as he won the award for Best male actor in a television musical or comedy, because no one does awkward industry humor like him.

Stephen Graham’s performance in Adolescence continued his winning streak and earned him an award for Best Male Actor in a Television Limited Series or Anthology Series.

Owen Cooper, the youngest Golden Globes award winner at the age of 16, also won an award for Best Supporting Male Actor, and Erin Doherty won an award for Best Supporting Female Actor.

Why everyone is low-key obsessed with The Pitt, Adolescence, and The Studio right now

These shows aren’t winning just because of the hype created around them. They connect in totally different ways, and that’s what makes their sweep at the Golden Globes 2026 feel earned.

The Pitt is an HBO medical drama that follows doctors and nurses working one intense 15-hour shift at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center in Pennsylvania. Unlike most hospital shows, each season focuses on just one single day, making every moment feel fast and stressful, making you feel tired just watching it, and that honesty is exactly why people are hooked.

Adolescence follows a young boy accused of killing a classmate and takes a look at family pressure, online incel influence, and how badly adults fail kids sometimes. The single-shot filming style makes every moment feel uncomfortably close, and that’s why performances from Stephen Graham, Owen Cooper, and Erin Doherty keep winning again and again.

Then comes The Studio, where Seth Rogen plays a film nerd and runs a movie company, juggling egos, and figures his way out through corporate pressures and multiple creative disasters. The celebrity cameos and relatable office drama is also a factor that makes the Apple TV drama insanely watchable.

Golden Globes 2026 doubled down on what already worked and rewarded shows that people genuinely love watching. The Pitt delivered grit, Adolescence delivered awareness, and The Studio has laughs that actually land.

The overlap with the Emmys wasn’t boring; it felt validating. When great TV keeps showing up strong, the trophies follow. If this night proved anything, it’s that these three shows are owning the awards season.
