Snoop Dogg brought his legendary swagger to the 2026 Golden Globes stage on Sunday night (Jan. 11), hitting the stage to present the first-ever best podcast award. And in the process, he even gave the 82-year-old awards show a new nickname.

“Need y’all to loosen up a little bit. This is the Double G’s — the Double G’s is the Golden Globes,” Snoop said after walking out to his 2004 three-week Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Drop It Like It’s Hot.” “And you’re with the D-O-Double-G, so make sure you enjoy yourself. Don’t be no stiff biff. Need you to move around a little bit.”

It seems that Snoop’s nickname made an impression: When One Battle After Another director Paul Thomas Anderson accepted the best screenplay award later in the night, he said, “I got a Double G. Amazing.”

Getting back to the award at hand, Snoop shouted out the Globes for adding a best podcast category, adding, “And shout-out to all the podcasters. You all are winners, but the real winner is…,” he said to a big laugh before announcing Good Hang With Amy Poehler as the category’s inaugural winner.

“This is exactly how I pictured it: Snoop giving me the award,” Poehler quipped when she hit the stage. “I don’t know about awards shows, but when they get it right, it makes sense. Thank you so much for this.”

After thanking everyone behind her show — which topped Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard, Call Her Daddy, The Mel Robbins Podcast, Smartless and NPR’s Up First to win best podcast — the Saturday Night Live alum also thanked her competition (with one cheeky exception). “I just want to say that I know I am new to this game. I have great respect for this form. I have great respect for all the people that I am nominated with. I’m big fans of all of you — except for NPR. Just a bunch of celebs phoning it in. So try harder.

“But this is an attempt to try to make a very rough and unkind world filled with a little bit more love and laughter, and laughing with people not at them, and we just have such a good time making it,” Poehler added earnestly. “Thank you so much for letting us make more.”

Poehler wrapped up her speech by thanking her two sons Archie and Abel — whom she shares with ex-husband Will Arnett, who happens to co-host fellow nominee Smartless alongside Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes — as well as her mom and dad. “You can watch the Patriots now,” Poehler said, acknowledging New England’s wild card playoff game against the Los Angeles Chargers, also airing on Sunday night.

Goodbye, Glinda. Ariana Grande shifted back to her signature style at the 2026 Golden Globes, opting for a custom-designed, black Vivienne Westwood dress and a brunette, high ponytail in place of the pale pink gowns and blonde locks she’d adopted during her Wicked era.

The high ponytail has long been Grande’s signature hairstyle. The choice to return to it seems fitting as she gets closer to kicking off her highly anticipated Eternal Sunshine Tour, which launches in June.

Grande was nominated for best performance by a female actor in a supporting role in any motion picture for her role as Glinda in Jon M. Chu’s Wicked: For Good at Sunday night’s ceremony. (Catch up with the full list of Golden Globe nominees and winners as they’re announced here.)

Post-awards season, Grande’s also got a top-secret project in the works — “I can’t say much yet, but it’s something that inspires me deeply,” she said in an interview with Variety last week — but don’t expect the pop star/actress back in the recording studio again just yet.

“Ma’am i would need an extra brain and four more arms,” she wrote on Instagram, responding to speculation that she’s working on new music ahead of her summer tour, for which she’ll begin rehearsals for soon.

As of Sunday, Wicked: For Good has grossed $522.3 million worldwide in its first eight weeks at the boxoffice. That stat has the movie currently landing at No. 3 on Billboard’s list of the top-grossing films that are adapted from Broadway musicals.

For the second year in a row, Nikki Glaser is readying some zingers, grabbing the mic and hosting the Golden Globes on Sunday (Jan. 11).

Plenty of music stars are present and accounted for at the show and on the Golden Globes red carpet: Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra, Teyana Taylor, Jennifer Lopez, Omar Apollo, Snoop Dogg and many others.

One Battle After Another, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Teyana Taylor, Sean Penn and Chase Infiniti, leads the nominations among movies with nine nods. Wicked: For Good, starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, nabbed five nominations. On the television side, The White Lotus has the most nominations (six) with the Selena Gomez-starring Only Murders in the Building nabbing four nods.

Lopez gave Entertainment Tonight’s red carpet hosts a preview of what to expect from her next film, Office Romance. “It’s a romantic comedy, it’s a little edgy. It’s not your typical J.Lo romcom,” she said. “It is a romcom, but it’s also a new evolution of it.”

Miley Cyrus told ET’s red carpet host about writing “Dream As One” for Avatar: Fire and Ash alongside her co-writers, Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt. “We’re starting from a place of trust and confidence,” Cyrus said. “I had the experience of losing my house to fire… I carried that with me. We were the right people for the job.” She went deep with Billboard about creating the song, too, which you can watch here.

The 2026 Golden Globes took over the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Sunday (Jan. 11), airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.

The Golden Globes are produced by Dick Clark Productions, which is owned by Penske Media Eldridge, a joint venture between Eldridge Industries and Billboard parent company Penske Media.
