Stephen Graham accepting his award at the 2026 Golden Globes Stephen Graham got caught a little off guard after spotting a certain A-lister in the audience during his acceptance speech at this year’s Golden Globes . On Sunday night, the British star picked up the Best Male Actor In A Limited Series award for his performance in the hit Netflix drama Adolescence , with the show also sweeping every other category it was nominated for. After his initial declaration of “ bomboclaat” was abruptly censored by Golden Globes producers , Stephen went on to celebrate his fellow nominees before praising the entire cast and crew of Adolescence. He then gave a shout-out to his on-screen wife Christine Tremarco, claiming his win was “half yours”, before turning his attention to his real-life wife of almost 20 years and co-producer, Hannah Walters, crediting her with “saving my life”. Looking out to the audience he then thanked “all my friends and family”, who he said already know “exactly who you are – and without you none of this is possible”. Interrupting his train of thought, he then caught sight of one celebrity guest in the auditorium, declaring: “Queen Latifah! Wow! Can’t believe it!” lol at Stephen Graham interrupting his own Golden Globes speech because he's so starstruck by Queen Latifah. mood tbh! pic.twitter.com/eDki1sKnFR — Spencer Althouse (@SpencerAlthouse) January 12, 2026 Stephen’s shout-out wasn’t the only love shown to the rapper and Chicago actor during the ceremony, though. Later in the evening, she and Dakota Fanning presented the Best Female Actor In A TV Drama award to Pluribus’ Rhea Seehorn , who declared: “Queen Latifah! I met you about 20 years ago, between jobs at a Koo Koo Roo. And you were so nice! So, thanks…” Queen Latifah getting the ‘Sal Saperstein’ treatment. Getting. shoutouts from Stephen Graham earlier & now Rhea Seahorn. #goldenglobes pic.twitter.com/aMQVZ4GCUm — CJ Johnson (@cjjohnsonjr) January 12, 2026 Adolescence was the top-winning TV show at the 2026 Golden Globes, triumphing in four categories overall (including acting prizes for cast members Owen Cooper and Erin Doherty ), with the hit Paul Thomas Anderson movie One Battle After Another taking home the same number of awards .

Three trains, two buses and a ferry take our writer from Essex to Northern Ireland, to enjoy wild swims, whiskey, sandy beaches and the Giant’s Causeway Oystercatchers fly off as I step through stalks of storm-racked kelp for an icy dip in the winter-grey sea. Actually, the water feels unexpectedly warm, perhaps in contrast to the freezing wind. But it’s cold enough to do its job: every nerve is singing and I feel euphoric. I’m exploring the Antrim coast, which has some of the UK’s finest beaches, and proves excellent for a sustainable break – even in the stormy depths of winter. Ballygally Castle is a great place to start and offers a Sea Dips and Hot Sips package that includes dry robes, hot-water bottles and flasks. The affordable castle, celebrating its 400th birthday this year, is perhaps Northern Ireland’s only 17th-century hotel. Continue reading...

Over four years have passed since the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan. Claudia Janke’s photographic series features 7 Afghan women who have found safety in the UK after escaping at great personal risk. She worked using an Instant Box Camera, the only type of camera allowed under the Taliban’s first regime, reclaimed for the these women to amplify their voices Since the Taliban’s return to power in Afghanistan in 2021, the regime has imposed sweeping restrictions on the rights of women and girls, with devastating consequences for society. Girls are barred from attending school beyond the sixth grade, and women are prohibited from working, appearing on television, leaving the house alone, and singing or speaking in public. They have been systematically erased from public life. A recent UN Women report underscores the scale of this repression. The Afghanistan Gender Index 2025 reveals, among other findings: No female representation in national or local decision-making bodies. A complete ban on secondary education for girls. A staggering 76% gender gap across health, education, finance, and governance – one of the worst in the world. Continue reading...
