Link Lauren did not hold back after watching clips from the 2026 Golden Globe Awards. The media personality openly slammed the show and said he had not watched a single nominated film this year. He also called the ceremony “cringe” and “quite simply, not funny.” The 2026 Golden Globes took place in Los Angeles on Sunday, January 11. While the night celebrated big wins for films and actors, Link Lauren chose to stay away. Instead, he shared his thoughts online and made it clear that the show no longer interests him.
The awards honored films like Hamnet, One Battle After Another, The Secret Agent, and KPop Demon Hunters. Actors Timothée Chalamet and
Jessie Buckley took home major acting awards. Still, Lauren said none of it made him want to tune in. His comments quickly caught attention on social media, as the Golden Globes continued to trend during and after the show.

After the ceremony, Link Lauren shared a blunt post on X. He wrote:
“I remember when I used to watch the #GoldenGlobes and other award shows. This year I don’t think I’ve seen a single nominated film. The clips I’ve seen make me feel even better about that decision. The Golden Globes look cringe and, quite simply, not funny.”
Later the same night, Lauren shared another post. This time, he talked about a film he is excited to watch. He posted the trailer for a documentary about Melania Trump, released in December 2025, and wrote:
“The Golden Globes are tonight and I haven’t even turned on the TV. The only film I’m excited for this year is MELANIA.”
The documentary was directed by Brett Ratner and is set to release on Friday, January 20.
Meanwhile, Hamnet had a strong night. The film won Best Picture, Drama. Producer Steven Spielberg praised director Chloé Zhao during his speech. He said:
“Sam Mendes sent me the book by Maggie O’Farrell, Hamnet, and I love the book. But I felt there was really only one filmmaker on the face of the planet who could tell this story, and that was the exceptional, exceptional, exceptional Chloe Zhao.”
The film is based on Maggie O’Farrell’s 2020 novel. It tells the story of William Shakespeare and Agnes Shakespeare after losing their son, Hamnet, during a plague. That loss later leads to the play Hamlet.
Released in November 2025, the film stars Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley. Buckley won Best Actress – Drama and later spoke about being open as an artist. She said:
“I see how strong and tender you all are, and how much of yourselves you share with the world. I salute your bravery and dedication.”
