Netflix took center stage at Sunday's 2026 Golden Globes, raking in a total of seven awards that left many streaming platforms in its wake. Apple and HBO Max also had successful nights, each winning three awards.
For Netflix, the biggest winners were two of its hit shows, "Adolescence" and "KPop Demon Hunters." The former took home four awards, including Best Limited or Anthology Series, and won for Best Actor (Stephen Graham), Supporting Actor (Owen Cooper), and Supporting Actress (Erin Doherty) in a miniseries or television film. Not to be outdone, "KPop Demon Hunters" - which became Netflix's most-watched title - took home two awards of its own: Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song.
The latter won the award for Best Original Song, with singer-songwriter EJAE thanking those who have faced rejection saying, "I just want to say this award goes to people who have had doors closed on them... Never give up. It is never too late to shine like you were born to be."
Netflix also took home an award for Best Performance in Stand-up Comedy on Television for its special "Ricky Gervais: Mortality." This marked a major win for the streamer, which has been making waves at awards shows this year.
On the other hand, Apple TV took home two awards, including Best Television Series Musical or Comedy and Best Male Actor in a Television Series for Seth Rogen. HBO Max also had a successful night, taking home its three awards with one each from "The Pitt," "Hacks," and another performance by Jean Smart.
Hulu's only award went to Michelle Williams for her performance in the limited series "Dying For Sex." The show marked a first at the Golden Globes this year: the Best Podcast category. Amy Poehler took home the award for her podcast, which has featured interviews with big-name guests like Tina Fey and Quinta Brunson.
In summary, Netflix dominated this year's Golden Globes, taking home seven awards that solidified its position as a major player in the streaming industry.

I'm literally still reeling from how epic Netflix was at the Golden Globes! 7 awards is insane and those shows they won are so good!!! "Adolescence" is like, my favorite show right now 
and Stephen Graham's win for Best Actor was long overdue. And can we talk about "KPop Demon Hunters" 
? I mean, who wouldn't want to watch a show about demon hunters in K-pop outfits?! 
It's amazing how Netflix just keeps pushing the boundaries of what we consider entertainment. Congrats to all the winners, especially EJAE for that powerful acceptance speech 
I gotta say, it's amazing to see Netflix killing it at the Golden Globes 
That's what I call a statement piece. The fact that EJAE's song won Best Original Song is just wow 
. It's inspiring to see artists thanking those who've faced rejection for their award, it's like a big ol' hug to the world 
. And can we talk about Ricky Gervais' special "Mortality"? 
! I mean, who else can pull off winning 7 out of 9 categories? They totally slayed it with "Adolescence" and "KPop Demon Hunters". Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty's wins are so well-deserved - they've been killing it in their roles. And EJAE's acceptance speech for Best Original Song was genuinely inspiring 
. I'm loving how Netflix is pushing the boundaries of comedy with Ricky Gervais' stand-up special too! Apple TV and HBO Max put up a good fight, but let's be real, Netflix is the one to beat right now 
.
I don't get why we're all so obsessed with streaming services giving out awards 
Not saying Netflix doesn't make some great stuff, but for real, can we find ways to invest our time and resources in more meaningful things?
but seriously can't Netflix just give us more content already? 
eJae's acceptance speech was super inspiring too - you go girl! 
and can we talk about ricky gervais' stand-up comedy special? it's not every day you see that on tv 
. Like, congrats to them and all, but it's getting old seeing one platform sweep everything every year 
. And don't even get me started on the "inspirational" acceptance speeches, like that EJAE song is just a generic motivational cliché 
. I mean, can't they come up with something original for once? And what about all the other talented creators out there who didn't get any love tonight? 
It's just so... predictable 
"Never give up"... it's like, such a perfect message 
can't wait to watch adolescence & kpop demon hunters again, those songs are fire 
and omg erin doherty's win is so deserved she slayed her role 
their shows are so sick rn and that EJAE performance was EPIC 
They totally killed it at the Golden Globes and I think they've finally proven to everyone that they're not just a one-hit wonder anymore. "Adolescence" and "KPop Demon Hunters" are straight fire 
! EJAE's win for Best Original Song is everything 
and a reminder to never give up on your dreams 
... now let's see if they can keep this momentum going all year
