The Golden Globes are finally giving a standing ovation to your favorite people talking into microphones in their pajamas!

Yes, it’s true. The 2026 Golden Globes will officially include a brand-new, shiny, clout-filled category: Best Podcast. That’s right — the awards show that once honored peak cinema like Cats (RIP dignity) is now recognizing your parasocial besties who make you laugh, cry, and question your life choices on your morning commute.

According to The Wrap (aka the news version of that one friend who always knows the tea), this ground-breaking new category will debut at the January 2026 ceremony. Expect heartfelt acceptance speeches that start with “I recorded this in my closet with a $20 mic and a dream.”

Golden Globes president Helen Hoehne spoke on the decision, saying, “As the world of entertainment continues to evolve, we are excited to recognize new forms of storytelling.” Translation: “Y’all won’t stop talking about podcasts, so fine. Here.”

She continued, “The Golden Globes have always celebrated the best in film and television. Now, we’re making room for new voices and formats to be heard.” Big win for your cousin who thinks he’s the next Joe Rogan because he interviewed one guy from LinkedIn.

Here’s how it’ll work: six lucky nominees will be plucked from the Top 25 most popular audio and video podcasts of the year. So yes, that means your favorite show could be in the running — as long as it’s not just you and your roommate complaining about Tinder dates.

Further criteria for judging will be announced “at a later date,” which is awards-show code for “We’re still figuring it out, please stop asking.”
