Meanwhile, Best Female Actor in Motion Picture Musical/Comedy winner Rose Byrne's longtime partner Bobby Cannavale skipped the ceremony for a reptile convention in New Jersey. As she recently explained on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, "We’re getting a bearded dragon. This expo is the place to go.”
And even though Cynthia Erivo was up for her second Golden Globe for her work in the Wicked franchise, she was not that girl who attended the award show this year.
As E! News previously confirmed, the 38-year-old—who faced off against Rose in the same acting category—had to miss the event in order to prepare for her one-woman production of Dracula in London.
In fact, she made a mention of the West End show while reacting to news of her nomination, telling E! in a December statement, "Wow! What lovely news to receive live from the rehearsal room of Dracula."
"It’s an honor to be nominated once again for this film," the Wicked: For Good star continued. "It has been a beautiful journey to play this character, and this is the cherry on top."
Giving a shoutout to her "sweet sister" and costar Ariana Grande, who received a nomination for Best Supporting Actress in Motion Picture Musical/Comedy for her portrayal of Glinda, Cynthia added, "This entire journey could never have been possible without the wonderful leadership of my brother and glorious director Jon M. Chu and producer extraordinaire everyone could only wish for, Marc Platt."
While these stars sat out the 2026 Golden Globes, read on to see who showed up and showed out on the red carpet at the award show.
