Amid the pop of Champagne bottles and the sound of applause, so much of what mattered at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night was what wasn`t said.

The company that had the biggest night - Warner Bros. Discovery, which won top awards for "One Battle After Another," "Sinners," "The Pitt" and "Hacks" - is at the heart of a fight over the future of Hollywood.

Inside the ballroom at the Beverly Hilton were the three men waging that fight: Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, who is overseeing the sale of his company, and Netflix and Paramount CEOs Ted Sarandos and David Ellison, who are battling to buy it. Not one of them was mentioned in a speech or a presenter`s comments.

Instead, there were opportunities to read between the lines, as when multiple winners, including Stellan Skarsgård ("Sentimental Value") and Ryan Coogler ("Sinners"), referred to the importance of the cinematic experience, which can be viewed as a vote against Netflix`s ownership. Or when host Nikki Glaser called Paramount-owned CBS News "CBS News: America`s newest place to see BS news," drawing a big laugh from the room, in a rebuke of the new leadership Ellison has installed there.

Here`s a look at all the key takeaways and top moments from this year`s show, which marked the official start to the 2026 awards season.
