The Golden Globes just dropped the details for their 2026 ceremony, including key dates, updated eligibility rules, and the big debut of the Best Podcast Award. The show will air live on January 11 on CBS and Paramount+, with Nikki Glazer back as host. Submissions for the new podcast category are now open, marking a fresh twist for the long-running awards show.

Editor’s Note: Awards shows are always tweaking their formulas to stay relevant, and the Golden Globes is no exception. Adding a podcast category is a smart nod to the booming audio industry, while locking in a host and broadcast details early signals they’re aiming for a smooth rollout. For fans, it’s a heads-up to mark their calendars—and for podcasters, a chance to snag some unexpected prestige.
