Who designs the Golden Globes ballroom?
The ceremony takes place at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, and Mark’s Garden has once again worked with the organization to "embrace modern, sculptural elegance inspired by movement, light, and quiet Japanese floral philosophy – a subtle nod to Nobu’s role in the dinner service".
There will be 20,000 flowers on tables alone, plus additional bouquets across the red carpet and around the ballroom, and many of the flowers have been hand-dyed in order to get the correct tone for the room.
The team will begin working the week before the ceremony to dye all of the petals, a process which involves the dyed water soaking up through the stem and into the petal.
"The flowers are an important element of the tabletop," Mark Uncapher, the creative director at Mark's Garden told HELLO! revealing that he looks to the runways for color inspiration.
"We anticipate where fashion is going to be on the night by looking at what's happening on the runways. So we have the Pantone Color of the Year in the flowers, and also an ox-blood color which we're anticipating to be on the carpet in fashion, and we added deep golden colors for the Golden Globes."
Is there a Golden Globes gift bag?
Yes - and this years is worth $957,000, representing the most expansive gift and experience assortment to date.

Who is nominated at the 2026 Golden Globes?
The Golden Globes revealed their 2026 nominations in December, and there were some big surprises. I was shocked to see Wicked: For Good miss out on a Best Picture nod, despite the Globes' extended categories, while Emmy winner Katherine LaNasa also missed out on a nod for supporting actress for The Pitt; she won the Emmy in 2025 but has since also missed out on a SAG nomination for the Actor Awards.
One Battle After Another is the favorite for Best Comedy, while Hamnet and Sinners are neck-and-neck for Drama, and in the TV category The White Lotus leads the pack with six nominations.

Does the Golden Globes have a new category?
Yes! In 2026 the Golden Globes is honoring the podcasting medium, with the nominees: Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard, Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy, Good Hang with Amy Poehler, The Mel Robbins Podcast, Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett'sSmartLess, and Up First a daily news podcast from NPR.
