The Netflix animated hit KPop Demon Hunters and Ryan Coogler's period vampire film Sinners took home the top music prizes at the 83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards, with "Golden" and Ludwig Göransson's score winning in competitive fields.
The 83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards, held January 11, 2026, at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, saw two major music awards go to high-profile film soundtracks. In the highly contested Best Original Song category, "Golden" — performed by HUNTR/X (EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and REI AMI) for the Netflix animated phenomenon KPop Demon Hunters — emerged victorious. The track, which spent eight weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, beat out competition including Miley Cyrus' "Dream as One" from Avatar: Fire & Ash, Ariana Grande and Stephen Schwartz's "The Girl in the Bubble" from Wicked: For Good, and Nick Cave's title track from Train Dreams.
In the Best Original Score category, Ludwig Göransson won for his work on Sinners, marking his second Golden Globe victory following his win for Oppenheimer in 2024. The Swedish composer defeated fellow heavyweights Alexandre Desplat (Frankenstein), Jonny Greenwood (One Battle After Another), and Hans Zimmer (F1), as well as first-time nominees Kangding Ray and Max Richter. Göransson's sweeping, genre-blending score was widely praised for grounding the film's supernatural horror in rich emotional texture.
Elsewhere across the ceremony, Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another was named Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy and took home a total of four awards including Best Director and Best Screenplay. Chloé Zhao's Hamnet won Best Motion Picture — Drama, while KPop Demon Hunters was named Best Motion Picture — Animated. The night's biggest acting winners included Jessie Buckley (Best Actress — Drama for Hamnet), Timothée Chalamet (Best Actor — Musical/Comedy for Marty Supreme), and Leonardo DiCaprio, who was among the stars celebrated in the Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy winning ensemble. The ceremony was broadcast live on CBS and streamed on Paramount+.
