Golden Globes 2026: Julia Roberts gets standing ovation from audience

Although Julia Roberts didn't win any trophies at the 2026 Golden Globes, she still received some love from the star-studded audience at the Beverly Hilton.

When the 58-year-old actress took the stage to present the award for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy on Sunday, the majority of the audience rose to give Julia a standing ovation.

"Thank you," said Julia. She also teased stragglers to rise, saying, "Yup. Everybody! Let's go! In the back! Come on!"

The Pretty Woman star then called on attendee Emma Stone to join the ovation, stating, "She's like, what the hell is going on right now?"

Regarding the sweet tribute, Julia said, "I’m gonna be impossible for at least a week. I appreciate that."

"What a great night. What a beautiful night to be an artist," she added. "This is 2026. We’re going straight to the top on this."

Ultimately, the actress gave the trophy to Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another.

It is pertinent to note that Julia was nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture for her performance in After the Hunt at the award ceremony, but ultimately lost to Jessie Buckley from Hamnet.
