The 2026 Golden Globes won’t just be a celebration of film and television, they’ll also be a showcase of stars beloved by the LGBTQ+ community.
Ahead of the ceremony, set for Sunday, Jan. 11, at the Beverly Hilton, organizers announced a long list of presenters that reads like a greatest-hits lineup for queer audiences. From openly LGBTQ+ performers to longtime allies and pop culture icons, this year’s presenters underscore why the Golden Globes continue to resonate with gay fans.
Among the most notable out presenters are Queen Latifah, Colman Domingo, Wanda Sykes, Sean Hayes and Ayo Edebiri. Each has become a major figure in queer pop culture, whether through groundbreaking performances, unapologetic authenticity or outspoken advocacy.
The list also includes Zoë Kravitz, who has spoken openly about her fluid sexuality, and Lalisa Manobal (LISA of BLACKPINK), a global pop phenomenon whose massive queer fanbase has followed her from K-pop stages to the awards circuit. Charli XCX and Miley Cyrus, are also set to make a presenter spot for the awards show.
Pamela Anderson, Jennifer Garner and Julia Roberts are also set to present, while Kevin Bacon, Kevin Hart and Snoop Dogg bring crossover appeal that reflects the Globes’ mix of prestige and pop culture.
Comedy favorites Kathryn Hahn, Melissa McCarthy, Keegan-Michael Key, Regina Hall and Will Arnett are also set to present, adding to a lineup rich in camp appeal and favorite performances.
Rounding out the list are stars such as Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Ana de Armas, Amanda Seyfried, Hailee Steinfeld, Dakota Fanning, Minnie Driver, Orlando Bloom and Mila Kunis.
Heated Rivalry stars Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie will also present. The duo’s inclusion marks another major moment for the queer hockey romance series, which has gained traction with LGBTQ+ viewers and industry insiders alike.
Hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, the 2026 Golden Globes will air live from 8 to 11 p.m. ET on CBS and stream on Paramount+. With so many out stars and queer-adjacent icons presenting, the ceremony is poised to be one of the most LGBTQ+-friendly Globes yet — a reminder that Hollywood’s biggest night remains deeply intertwined with queer culture.
