2026 golden globes ballroom behind scenes.

Some of the most interesting moments of the Golden Globes happen off camera. During the commercial breaks, the stars rush to socialize, congratulate and catch up and The Associated Press had a seat inside the ballroom to observe it all. Emma Stone was perhaps the star who was out of her seat the most, holding court in a smaller room off to the side where there was a bar, an ever-replenishing supply of decadent desserts and Nobu sushi. There she hung out with Jennifer Lawrence, Yorgos Lanthimos, Kirsten Dunst and more.
