Golden Globes 2026: Teyana Taylor Wins Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture
Teyana Taylor had an unforgettable night at the Golden Globes 2026 on Sunday night. Taylor won the first award of the night for Best Female Actor in a Supporting Role in the movie “One Battle After Another.” The Golden Globe award was also her first time winning the award. From her unforgettable acceptance speech to her red-carpet gown, serving body and a little “bootylicious,” she will go down in Golden Globes history.
Teyana Taylor’s Emotional Golden Moment
At the Golden Globes 2026, the Best Supporting Female Actress in a Motion Picture category was a tight competition, with big names nominated, including Ariana Grande for “Wicked: For Good,” Elle Fanning for “Sentimental Value,” Amy Madigan for “Weapons,” and Emily Blunt for “The Smashing Machine.” But Taylor brought the room to tears when her name was called and her initial emotional reaction to winning.
In the “Wake Up Love” singer’s acceptance speech at the Golden Globes, the winner first showed off her “party in the back” peekaboo feature in a black Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown. The backside of Taylor’s dress revealed a crystal-encrusted thong with a crystal-encrusted bow at its center.
Taylor opened her speech joking about her kids, who were upstairs, and playfully scolded them, saying, “Y’all better be off those damn phones and watching me right now.”
Next, Taylor thanked her family and the director of the winning film, Paul Thomas Anderson, who directed “One Battle After Another.” The “Do Not Disturb” singer thanked Anderson by saying, “My gratitude is endless.” I love you, we love you, and thank you so much for holding space for me and our entire cast.”
Taylor Shines for Brown Girls
But the moment of the night was when Taylor thanked all “my Brown sisters and little Brown girls watching tonight.” Taylor used her moment to encourage and uplift her sister. She continued her speech,
“Our softness is not a liability. Our depth is not too much. Our light does not need permission to shine,” she said. “We belong in every room we walk into. Our voices matter and our dreams deserve space.”
The Internet Crowns a Queen
Setting the tone as the first Golden Globes win of the night, Taylor’s speech quickly went viral on social media, with fans complimenting her style, recommended movies, and roles.
One user wrote on Instagram about Taylor’s red carpet look, “This damn lady is absolutely stunning!! I don’t care WHAT yall say!” Another user on the same post commented, “She’s giving queen energy on another level 🔥 Absolutely breathtaking.”
In another online clip on Instagram of the “One Battle After Another” actor’s acceptance speech, love continued to pour in from fans around the world, with even celebrities chiming in to congratulate Taylor.
One fan wrote, “Yesterday’s price AIN’T today’s price! You made us proud 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽.”
User rnb.radar wrote, “One of the most talented people on the planet. Truly well deserved. Teyana is the definition of a multi-hyphenated creative, and it’s great to see her finally receiving every flower and accolade she’s earned.” R&B singer Mario even chimed in and wrote, “THAT GLOBE IS IN GREAT HANDS @teyanataylor !! 🙌🏾”
Unlike some of the award winners last night, most of the comments for “The Sweet 16” alumni reflected a positive reaction to her win, with many acknowledging that she deserved the win and her moment in the spotlight.
Oscar Buzz Around Major Contender
Award season is just starting to heat up, and from the look of things, Taylor and the movie “One Battle After Another” are top contenders against the films “Sinners” and “K-Pop Demon Hunters.” The complete list of Oscar nominees has not been announced yet, but can Taylor take home the win again for Best Supporting Actress?
