Nikki Glaser to return as host of Golden Globes in 2026

Independent13-03-2025

After a well-reviewed emcee debut, the Golden Globes are bringing back comedian Nikki Glaser to host the 2026 ceremony.
Dick Clark Productions, the producer of the award show, announced Thursday that Glaser will return for the 83rd Globes next January. Glaser, the first woman to host the show solo, successfully shepherded a ceremony she called 'Ozempic's biggest night.'
'Hosting the Golden Globes this year was without a doubt the most fun I have ever had in my career,' said Glaser in a statement. 'I can't wait to do it again, and this time in front of the team from 'The White Lotus' who will finally recognize my talent and cast me in Season Four as a Scandinavian Pilates instructor with a shadowy past.'
The Globes, in which the top awards went to the films 'The Brutalist' and 'Emilia Pérez' and the TV series 'Shōgun' and 'Hacks,' drew 9.3 million viewers, according to Nielsen, a 2% dip from the year prior. Like this year's broadcast, next year's Globes will air on CBS and stream on Paramount+.
'Nikki Glaser brought a refreshing spark and fearless wit to the Golden Globes stage this year," said Globes President Helen Hoehne. 'Her sharp humor, and bold presence set the tone for an unforgettable night, making the ceremony feel vibrant and most of all fun.'

Goggins compared his need for distance to his departure from Justified, stating he often needs time alone after intense roles to process the experience. He revealed that filming The White Lotus in Thailand was particularly difficult due to personal memories of traveling there after his first wife's death, and Wood was supportive of his need for space. Goggins refuted claims of a feud with Wood, expressing his adoration and respect for her talent, and he re-followed her on Instagram during the interview. Goggins also addressed a controversial interview with The Times, where he felt a reporter insinuated a feud with Wood and asked an offensive question, leading him to end the interview abruptly.

Thailand's top 12 jewellery brands

1. Pattaraphan As the name Pattaraphan suggests – it means 'beautiful skin' in Thai – the brand's jewellery is designed to become part of the body, enhancing your natural form with pieces that feel both intimate and artful. Known for its genderless, avant-garde approach to fine jewellery, Pattaraphan's signature style blends bold textures, sculptural shapes and minimalist forms. Each collection tells a personal story drawn from the founder's childhood memories, lived experiences and meaningful cultural symbols. The brand has gained international recognition, with style icons like Gigi and Bella Hadid wearing its pieces as part of their everyday looks. 2. Sarran Inspired by Thai womanhood and the art-to-wear movement, each piece by Sarran reflects the founder's deep love for tradition and design. Handpicking blooms from a Thai garden – like jasmine and tropical milkweed – Sarran draws inspiration from the delicate beauty of local flora. The brand's designs have caught the eye of many, including global names like Blackpink's Lisa. In a recent collaboration with Jim Thompson, it introduced earrings crafted from Thai silk. More than just accessories, Sarran's pieces are wearable stories, made with deep-rooted pride in Thai artistry. 3. Pacharee At Pacharee, every piece begins with the beauty of the stone itself. The brand celebrates the natural quirks and character of each pearl and gem, letting their imperfections guide the design. Using free-form cuts and delicate slices, Pacharee reveals the raw, untouched essence of each material – creating jewellery that feels personal and connected to nature. With styles ranging from feminine to masculine, the brand offers something for everyone to explore and wear as an expression of their own individuality. Their pieces are spotted in the latest Mike White's series, The White Lotus. 4. Ravipa What started as a vision for everyday jewellery has become a beloved name in the Thai accessories scene. Ravipa is all about simple pieces with deeper meaning, designed to be worn daily. With over 30 years of expert craftsmanship behind each item, the signature look features minimal designs and soft nylon straps that sit light on the wrist. From Disney collabs to charms believed to bring love, success or good fortune, Ravipa blends sentiment with style. Today, you'll find them at outlets ranging from Bangkok's top department stores to boutiques in Hong Kong. 5. Haus of Jewelry Haus of Jewelry is a Thai jewellery brand that made it all the way to a Times Square billboard in New York City – and has been worn by international stars like Doja Cat and Suki Waterhouse. Embracing the motto 'be fluid, be limitless – your uniqueness, your rules,' the brand offers a range of elegant and expressive collections. From a Thai zodiac-inspired line to a Bohemian Rhapsody–themed series, each piece flows with bold individuality. Most of the pieces capture a strong sense of self in limitless forms, just like the ever-changing nature of liquid. 6. Eastern Antique From a broken tile to a knocked-about piece of jewellery, Eastern Antique finds beauty in what's been overlooked. The owner, a longtime collector of bowls, plates, vases and other ceramics, discovered beauty in the broken. They take distressed pieces and re-work, polish and transform them into affordable rings, earrings, and necklaces – each piece carrying a unique story of revival. The shop is quiet and welcoming, inviting you to slow down and uncover a one-of-a-kind treasure. 7. mormormor mormormor is jewellery reimagined – wearable art with meaning. It's built on creativity, inclusivity and sustainability, celebrating Thai craftsmanship through genderless designs. It includes adaptable styles and materials reclaimed from past use. These ideas reshape how we see jewellery – blending beauty with purpose. Each piece has its own charm: one inspired by the strong lines of a gate, called the private zone collection, the other by the soft, flowing curves of flower pollen. The brand has made its mark around the globe, popping up in cities like Tokyo, Hangzhou and New York. 8. Valichain A beloved brand among Thais, known as the go-to for classic, everyday style. It is praised for offering stylish, high-quality pieces at affordable prices. The designs are versatile and made to mix and match with one another, reflecting the founder's belief that accessories should add a touch of fun, especially on days when you want to dress down but still care about your look. New and playful collections are released regularly, but don't wait too long – they tend to sell out fast. 9. Thammada Studio If you have a chance to visit Thammada Store, take your time strolling through the displays. The shop showcases detailed and delicate designs that elevate your everyday attire. From boot-shaped earrings to Tamagotchi-inspired rings, the collection transforms familiar objects into wearable art. Styles range from whimsical to cool and chic. Floral motifs also feature throughout – elegant without being overly feminine – including a standout design inspired by the traditional Thai flower garland. 10. AKE AKE Raised in a family with over 20 years of silver-making expertise, the owner used this knowledge to build AKE AKE, a jewellery brand with a love for timeless Thai handmade techniques. At the heart of AKE AKE is a commitment to creating detailed, heirloom-quality 925 sterling silver pieces. The brand's design vibe is medieval Europe meets modern cool. Inspired by British and European history, old-world rituals and antique silver artistry, AKE AKE puts a fresh spin on the past. 11. Established in Bangkok in 2020, is owned by two non-designers with a big dream – to create an alternative jewellery brand focused on craftsmanship, conscious production, and upcycling. Their entire operation is grounded in a slow-fashion manifesto and their goal is to create sustainable silver jewellery that's both thoughtful and stylish. Sarrai means seaweed in Thai, and it can be seen in their designs – flowy, freeform shapes that celebrate beautiful imperfections. The standout pieces turn trash into treasure and feature colourful, sparkling gems made from recycled bottles and upcycled glass. 12. Wodd W0dd Bangkok is where art meets attitude – a genderless, symbolic fusion of sculpture and style with a youthful edge. Each piece plays with bold letter forms and custom shapes. Crafted from 925 silver with anti-tarnish plating, every design is handmade in collaboration with skilled local artisans who bring serious detail and soul to the mix. Their jewellery features a blend of metallic shine and soft matte textures, giving it the look of liquid metal – smooth and cool to the touch.

White Lotus star breaks down in tears as he finally addresses feud with co-star

Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood - who played Rick Hackett and his Chelsea in The White Lotus - have broken their silence months after their reported feud Their on-screen chemistry and complicated love story left White Lotus viewers enthralled - but that didn't help stop rumours of a backstage feud between actors Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood after one particularly awkward social media interaction. But the pair, who played mysterious Rick Hackett and his girlfriend Chelsea, have finally spoken out - revealing why they've only seen each other once since season three's February premiere. ‌ And Walton, unable to hold back his emotions, declared "I love this woman madly" about Aimee in a bid to set the record straight. ‌ Two months since the show's dramatic finale, the pair have reunited for Variety magazine as they got up close and personal once again. Speaking of the moment they met for the very first time, Aimee revealed he had texted her to come over for lunch. She said: "I didn't know what to order. I was like, 'Can you pick for me?' I was so nervous." Walton added: "The minute she walked around the corner, I felt, 'This is gonna work. Two minutes into the conversation, it felt like I've known this person for 100 years." Despite suggestions of a feud, Walton was also very keen to reiterate that Aimee is "so important" to him as he began to choke up. He told the magazine: "There is no feud. I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me." Turning to Aimee, he continued: "This is Goldie Hawn. This is Meg Ryan. She can do anything, and she will. You watch what the next 20 years of her experience will be. I'll be on an island, I think Greece. But she's special. There is no feud. She is love and I know that I am that to her. We care about each other very deeply." Aimee also responded to the feud rumours and Walton unfollowing her on Instagram, which she doesn't appear fussed about at all. ‌ "I think it's such a comment on where we're at culturally. Why is everyone obsessing over Instagram? That is irrelevant. We don't give a s***e about Instagram," she said. While she had initially wanted to respond to the feud claims over the following, Aimee said that she decided to just "sit back and watch these people making something out of absolutely nothing". ‌ Explaining further about the unfollowing, Walton - whose first wife tragically died by suicide in 2004 - suggested that he simply wasn't good with goodbyes and unfollowed anyone who was part of the show after filming wrapped up. In tears, he said: "I knew what we had gone through, and I knew how close that we had gotten, and I needed to begin to process saying goodbye to Rick and Chelsea." ‌ Walton went on to say that he had just needed to take a step back from everyone after filming ended and he hasn't spoken to anyone as he "couldn't handle it". He added: "Judge me or don't. I don't give a f*** what you think. This is my process. Rick means everything to me, and Chelsea means everything to me." As the interview wrapped up, Walton declared that he would follow Aimee on Instagram again, declaring it all "ridiculous" and that he would be friends with her "for f***ing ever". Crying again as he hugged his former co-star, Walton added: "I'm emotional because we haven't been in the same city to ever talk about this. So for me, this is just so wonderful."
