Even though Josh Allen sat out the 2026 Golden Globes, Hailee Steinfeld still felt his presence.
After all, as the pregnant actress — who is expecting her first baby with the NFL quarterback — graced the stage at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles Jan. 11 to present an award, a voiceover for the Nikki Glaser-hosted ceremony gave a nod to Allen’s Buffalo Bills team.

“Please welcome one of the stars of ‘Sinners,’ Hailee Steinfeld — congrats on that Bills’ win,” an announcer said, “and Golden Globe winner Ayo Edebiri.”
Indeed, Allen missed the star-studded award show for a Bills game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at the EverBank Stadium in Florida. He ended up helping his team snag a 27-24 win by scoring a pivotal touchdown with just over a minute left, marking the Bills’ first road playoff win in over three decades.
Still, the athlete was paying close attention to the Globes. After Steinfeld walked the red carpet in a peach-colored floor-length gown by Prada, he shared a photo of the “Pitch Perfect 2” alum alongside a drooling emoji.

Nikki Glaser is back at it again. On Sunday, Jan. 11, the comedian hosted the Golden Globe Awards for the second year in a row. During her monologue, Glaser cracked jokes at the A-listers in the room, including Leonardo DiCaprio, George Clooney, Jennifer Lawrence and more.
And it was also a victorious night for Steinfeld. “Sinners” took home two out of the seven awards it was up for heading into the show, including Cinematic and Box Office Achievement and Best Original Score.
“When I read the script, it was one of those things where it’s just a feeling,” the Oscar nominee said of the Ryan Coogler-helmed horror in a February interview with “Who What Wear.” “It’s a feeling I’ve only got a handful of times, and that’s a privilege and a blessing. But it’s a feeling that, once you have felt it, you crave nothing but that feeling.”
In fact, she called her character Mary — a white-passing Black woman living in the Jim Crow-era South — a role she “had been waiting for.”
“I hope and pray that I get to do a million more of these,” she added, “because I do think that’s part of this next phase of life.”
The 2026 Golden Globes did not disappoint! From Nikki Glaser’s firey opening monologue, to Macaulay Culkin return to the Golden Globes stage, the “Heated Rivalry” moment everyone was waiting for and Julia Roberts and George Clooney’s “Oceans 11” reunion, Access Hollywood is breaking down the top moments of the night!
