The Pitt! Yes, a medical procedural set in a Pittsburgh emergency room is the best show on television in 2026. In being named TV's top drama, The Pitt (HBO Max) beat out some other streaming hits: The Diplomat (Netflix), Pluribus (Apple TV), Severance (Apple TV), Slow Horses (Apple TV) and The White Lotus (HBO Max). It's no fluke, of course. Earlier on Sunday, Noah Wyle won best actor in a drama series for his starring role. En route to the stage for The Pitt's big series win, Wyle embraced his friend former ER co-star George Clooney in a hug. The reunion has been a full weekend hang: Wyle and Clooney spent Saturday honoring each other at the AARP awards. It was really some sweet stuff. Will the renewed love affair result in a scripted on-air reunion? "Obviously," Clooney would be "welcome" to appear on The Pitt, HBO and HBO Max chief Casey Bloys told The Hollywood Reporter in November. That other HBO Max show, The White Lotus, had the most opportunities across the TV categories with six 2026 Golden Globes nominations. Adolescence (a limited series) had five; Only Murders in the Building (a comedy) and Severance each had four. The full list of Sunday's winners - all 28 - is here. Shōgun won best drama series (and a whole bunch of other honors) last year; find all of those winners here. The FX (for Hulu) series defeated The Day of the Jackal (Peacock), The Diplomat (Netflix), Mr. & Mrs. Smith (Prime Video), Slow Horses (Apple TV+) and Squid Game (Netflix). Only The Diplomat and Slow Horses were repeat nominees; Succession (Apple TV) won the trophy in 2024. Comedian Nikki Glaser returned Sunday to host the Golden Globes for the second year in a row. The longtime comic's mainstream breakout moment came as a performer the 2024 Roast of Tom Brady on Netflix. Also returning to the Globes were showrunners/executive producers Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner of White Cherry Entertainment. The 2026 Golden Globes aired live from 8-11 p.m. ET/5-8 p.m. PT on CBS and streamed on Paramount+ in the U.S. Golden Globes producer Dick Clark Productions is owned by Penske Media Eldridge, a joint venture between Penske Media Corporation and Eldridge that also owns The Hollywood Reporter.
